French Computer Model - ARPEGE

[bud2380]

I've never heard of this before, nor have I seen any posts on this.  I just stumbled across it so I thought I'd post about it.  It can be found on the meteocentre website, that I like to use for the Canadian and UK models.  It runs every 6 hours and runs about 30-45 minutes before the Canadian model; so right now updates at 11:30 for the 00z and 12z runs; add 6 hours for the 6z and 18z runs.  Starting Sunday that will be 10:30 CST.  So just another model to add to the mix of models we all love to look at to track a snowstorm.  It goes out to 102 hours, so it is definitely a short term model, but extends further than the NAM and UK at least.

That the French-Canadian model? I see the maps are for North America.
