This shows recent GFS model output verifying at the current time. It
needs tweaking, but you can see similar for the other models.
Eventually I'm hoping they'll have a standard set of output for each
of the models so that people can see when each of the models finally
"came into line" with the existing analysis. This actually might help
people with a desire to verify the strength/weaknesses of the models.

Another link that got swamped in another thread was a "poor man's
ensemble" of all their available charts which again should be useful
for those wanting all the models at the same forecast lead time (e.g. T
+144) in the same place, along with the CMC and GFS ensemble means:

Thanks from me too Richard. It is so interesting to play with this and
see the past positioning of that Siberian High (for example) on the
various models.

Weatheronline have stepped ahead of some other free providers with
this, It's the kind of thing (amongst others) that I feel our UKMO
should provide free. After all, we do pay for that.

Keep this up and I may provide you with fresh red meat! *))
