So this is basically a global version of the HRRR?
Yeah, basically. They're going to pull data from weather stations (like the private ones populating wunderground). Which is good but it's not like it'll be pulling soundings from those locations.

Some more background on what they did to Weather Underground's WunderMap, which they are using for this analysis…
Once upon a time a couple years ago, Weather Underground set up a system so people who owned private weather stations could connect with to see their own data and others gage data and put it in WunderMap application for free. Great site for looking at historical rainfall data.
Fast forward a couple years ago and IBM buys Weather Underground. They proceed to strip the historical data from the site beyond a year, and start charging people for access to data and they don't even own the devices. Now they are trying to leverage it further for more profit. And they are throwing so many ads on the Weather Underground pages that it makes it glacial to navigate.
