Models Forecasts and DST

Just a note about the forecast models. When we sprung forward for DST a couple of weeks back, the models run times didn't change. The NAM which goes out to 84 hours now starts at 10 AM & PM and finished about 10:45 AM & PM. The GFS which is a longer range forecast tool which goes out 384 hours starts at 11 AM & PM and doesn't finish until 1:30 AM & PM. Both of those forecast models trigger additional forecast and analysis tools which finish even later.

That makes my late night forecast more difficult since I am very unlikely to stay up unless a major event is likely. My lunch time posts are also hindered by the later run times. Sorry...
