A selection of GFS high defintion charts have been added to the Chart viewer. These are: 

Wind
850hPa & thickness
Max temp
Min temp (not generated yet)

The charts are split into UK north and south.

On the Chart viewer select High definition + - to access.

850hPa temp (C) and thickness (dam) chart example:

Looks good to me, Brian! Thank you.

As good as anything I've seen on the web, in fact better when factoring in the level of zoom on offer 

I take it the isolines on the wind charts are for the mean speeds and the individual numbers are the gusts?

Looking at tomorrow, you can see a conundrum I'm facing when anticipating conditions across The Solent; winds are considerably lighter to the SE of the region thanks to a weak anticyclone and stronger to the west due to a shortwave low - both with some uncertainty regarding their exact positions.

These high-res charts will be handy in that respect 

Thanks. Yes, that's right and the  shading represents the gust speed too.

On the 850hPa and thickness charts the contours and shading represent the 850hPa temps and the individual numbers are thickness values.

Thanks for yet another addition to the site

Yes I'll have precipitation / precipitation type added in soon along with (hopefully):

• 10 day accumulated precipitation


• 10 day max and min temperature forecasts

I might be being a total dunce here this morning, while I do think the charts look great and how that would make for a powerful addition to my own forecasting skills, but can I ask on how I could move that 3 hourly grid to one side so that I can see the whole chart? (The south east - the bit I want the most - gets hidden by that grid).

Those high definition charts could prove useful during the coming Autumn, winter.

Thanks Brian.

At the moment you can click +- Hours to hide most of the panel. I'm thinking of floating it too.

Looking at the sea north of Normandy, it appears the mean speed is >10mph, with gusts of 2mph. How does that work? 

A minor quibble though, thanks for the new charts Brian 

Very, very cool charts Brian! 

Just added high definition GFS aggregate charts. 

UK, UK south, UK north
5d max temp
5d min temp
10d max temp
10d min temp
5d precip total
10d precip total

On the Chart viewer select HD aggregate + - to access.

I've not yet scheduled the updates for these on the server but will try to have done within the next 24 hours. 

Aggregated precipitation perhaps the most useful. Here's the 10 day view from today's GFS6z:

North zoom

South zoom

Thanks Brian, another good addition.

The new aggregated charts seem to be updating ok. They are generated a little later once the GFS downloads and other charts are complete.  

This is a great chart! thanks!

Very cool Brian.......not thought of getting Quantum to help with a bit of black and a few vivid colours from his pallet then

Oh these are going to be so much fun if we get a snowy spell in winter... 

Many thanks as always Brian 

Thanks Brian, useable and useful

Generated a few charts using GFS data at 0.1deg x 0.1deg which is significantly higher than the ones currently available on the site. Not yet sure whether I'll be scheduling these in.

850hPa temps and thickness

Wind gust, mean speed and direction

Looks great Brian.

I love these Hi-Def charts.
