Temperature & Wind Map

This weather map shows the latest wind and temperature forecast from the National Weather Service (NWS) NAM computer model.

The model is run every 6 hours starting at 1 am EST, which is 2 am EDT. The maps are generated 3 hours after the start of each model run to make sure that all data have been received.

  • Wind is plotted as an arrow.
    The orientation of the arrow indicates the direction that the wind is blowing.
  • The length of the arrow indicates the wind speed.
    Areas with stronger wind speeds are indicated by lines of constant speed, isotachs, every 5 knots starting with 15 knots.
  • Temperature contours are drawn every 5 degrees Fahrenheit.

This program is a partnership between the Fairbanks Museum and Vermont Public.
