• Description:
  The RRFS is being developed as the flagship convective-scale ensemble-based prediction system for NWS operations to replace legacy limited-area modeling systems currently in operations in early calendar year 2025. The RRFS is an application based on the Unified Forecast System (UFS) and, like other UFS-based applications, uses the FV3 dynamical core.
