The Weather Forecasting Forum

Hello

I've yet to experience it but it is on my to do list, lol. Right now there is an insane band going on in upsate NY... here are some radar shots. They are expecting 3 to 5 feet. Last I checked it was heavy snow with quarter mile visability.

Here is a good topic to read through. I haven't, but ...

Wow, I still don't know how to change the colors of my map! I feel clueless, lol.

I've had many problems with the Regular GRIB but I tried WAFS this morning and they have been working consistently. So I'm happy. Still gotta try figuring out some other things.

How do you save it as a PNG? I've been taking screenshots and saving them in MSPaint. I tried using SAVS FILE but I'm probably doing it wrong.

Oh sorry, lol. I'm Jacob.

So basically the ECMWF isn't working for now until the new release? I did the AREA 0 0 0 thing but I'm still not seeing the ECMWF file to even open... I downloaded the 12Z data and ingested it and nothing... I even downloaded the file myself from ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov ...

Well, I'm happy becuase I just succesfully imported NOGAPS data. :lol: So I'll be playing around with this for quite a while.

I'm guessing the ECMWF grids are restricted to basically what is on their website? That's alright.

I have my log but it is EXTREMELY long. Should I PM you the entire thing ...

Hello :) I decided not to start my own thread if this is the "help!" thread.

The downloader seems to be going crazy, but someone (sorry I forgot) helped me figure out in another thread how to do it manually. I haven't done that too much, but I like using the downloader becuase then I can do ...

I tried it with other data and it worked. Thanks so much!!!!

I tried doing the ECMWF data that way. I saved it in the folder and decoded it but as far as I know it's not in the new folder. I don't know why it didn't process the way it should have.

Thanks for your help.

I've been trying to do that, and I ingest/process the data, but when I go to open the file the file name flashes at the top and then the program freezes up. I tried using Grib2 data. Does that not work?

Thanks for the link!

Stupid question... how do I use this exactly? lol.

OK, now I'm really confused.

I tried downloading the ECMWF and it seemed to be going well, albeit a bit fast, and then I "decode" the "Regular GRIB" and there are a bunch of files in there but they look like ETA files and I can'ts eem to find the ECMWF. I'd be willing to try to download this ...
