GFS Model (Global Forecast System)

The GFS (Global Forecast System) is a computer model run by the National Weather Service that predicts weather conditions worldwide. It processes vast amounts of data from satellites, weather stations, and other sources to simulate the atmosphere's behavior. Using complex mathematical equations, it forecasts variables like temperature, wind, rain, and snow up to 16 days ahead. The GFS provides essential information for weather forecasting, helping governments, businesses, and individuals prepare for upcoming weather events. Its accuracy improves with better data and technology, making it a vital tool for understanding future weather patterns on a global scale.
