See the blue boxes at the right-hand side of the table and the blue boxes below the table ("more loops"). In addition, the following variables are available as 1h-loops (see below the table) for 0-48h: 1h precipitation high+mid+low clouds vertical velocity 500-700-850-925hPa overview-panel (maxDBZ,T2m,U10m,CAPE) Daily precipitation is plotted for the periods 00-24h, 24-48h and 48-72h (below the table) for the 00Z-run and for each day in the 12Z-run ("RR24h-panel"). Forecast soundings can be found for the 0-48h period. The difference panels show the change between the 06/24/48h forecast of the current day and the previous day's 30/48/72h forecast. For most of the shown variables, the 6h-forecast can be considered the "truth" (except for precipitation and 2m-temperature in some cases). Thus, low difference values near zero reveal a good forecast of the previous day's run.
