GFS continues to be fricked.

embarassing that the U.S. government's weather model is so shitty.

not surprising though.

The GFS just can't handle the remnants of Fiona. If it is right then it is a HUGE victory, perhaps the biggest I have ever seen but the odds are really stacked against it. Even other models that use some of the same information as the GFS aren't having the same issues.

Yep, GFS back to nothing. Never seems to have any consistency. It's funny how it has supposedly been upgraded in the last few years.

I've talked to some of the folks at NCEP and they are just as frustrated as anyone. They are working with one hand tied behind their backs. It is actually pretty impressive what they have done with the limited computing power they have. There is new computing power coming online and plans to totally rework of the GFS with a new dynamic core. Hopefully, there will also be upgraded data assimilation to go with this. The problem is who knows when this will actually come online.
