NCEP GFS (gfs)

source gfs · product pgrb2.0p25 · steps every 6 h to 240 h · initializations 0, 12 UTC · native extreme fields TMAX, TMIN (diagnostic only, never in the headline ranking).

Scores use the latest model version segment, gfs-0p25, starting 2026-08-01. Earlier days ran a different version of the model and are excluded rather than silently pooled into the same average.

These pages are always bilinear interpolation, the headline method. The nearest-node variant, and every other window/initialization/interpolation/variable combination, is published on each permanent link below — follow any number.

Daily maximum temperature — MAE °F by station
