We recently added new forecasts based in NAM models, with a higher resolution than global GFS model. Resolutions for NAM models are 3km and 12km, as GFS model resolution is 50km.

The lower is the model resolution, the greater is the forecast reliability. Therefore, NAM model forecasts reliability are greater than GFS model forecasts, particularly for NAM 3km model forecasts.

Example for models GFS 50km (3h and 1h), NAM 12km and NAM 3km
