Precipitation forecast

The ALADIN/SI numerical model run for the next three days, in three-hour steps.

--:--

What ALADIN/SI is

ALADIN/SI is a numerical weather model that ARSO runs twice a day, starting at 00 and 12 UTC. The maps show forecast cloud cover and precipitation up to 72 hours ahead.

How to read the map

Use the slider to choose a forecast time. The day and hour the map is valid for, and the model run time, are shown below it.

A new run becomes available a few hours after it starts. Until it has fully downloaded, the previous run is shown.

Limitations

A model is a calculation, not a measurement. Individual showers and storms may appear in a different place or at a different time than shown. For the next hour, the radar is more reliable.

Frequently asked questions

Why doesn’t the map match the radar?

The radar shows measured precipitation; the model shows a calculated forecast. Differences are expected, especially with thunderstorms.

How far ahead does it go?

Up to 72 hours after the start of the model run.
