NOAA retired the NAM this week. We ported it to the GPU and it's back, better than ever: WOOF-NAM, open source. - 12 km CONUS, all NAM physics, 24 h forecast in ~20 min on a single RTX 5090 (32 GB). - 8 GPUs: 6 h in 92 s. Multi-card is bitwise to single card. - 4 km CONUS, 24 h in under 9 min on 8 GPUs. 3 km nests anywhere on Earth (Europe, Japan, CONUS): 48 h in ~7 min on one card. SStarts from the NAM analysis or GFS today, IFS open data in the next release. Beside the operational NAM from the same cycle it's hard to tell them apart (pics). Today it needs one 32 GB card for the full 12 km CONUS; ~15 GB is the target, coming soon. github.com/recastsystems/woo…

As the #RossFire continues to burn, flash drought will continue to spread in NTX and CTX. With triple digit high temps and little to no rain chances persisting, flash drought conditions will continue to worsen!!! Remember to check local and county water restrictions! #txwx
Flash drought continues to build across the S. Plains and Lower Miss River. The last 30 days have included extreme heat, little to no precip, and high evaporative demand. Soils are drying. The Ross Fire in Texas has surpassed 80K acres. drought.gov @NOAA @climatexas

8/25 430PM: The #RossFire has increased activity and is exhibiting extreme fire behavior. Air attack has placed a no-divert on aircraft due to a life-safety threat. This fire may move quickly, so if you're told to go, get out of dodge. Southerly winds will continue into tonight, so the fire may try to push farther north. -David
