Vote number 1: HIRLAM approx 7.5km resolution

Last time I read about AROME, there was fee for automated data download. Not sure if it is changed.

Vote 2: AROME

AROME is available as free data. Very interesting along coastline, in mountain zone and for local forecasts (thunderstorms, large towns effect...)

Vote number 2: AROME

Windy has no such a good resolution model yet as AROME working on, so it could be very interesting, especially for mountainous areas to compare any other model's data to the new AROME model with (approx) 2 km resolution.
So my special vote is for AROME, because it's more interesting for me than the other models.

Will these models include a "radar forecast"? As shown in the HRRR picture?

I live in New York so only the NOAA view would help, but I can see that from them already. I guess you might add to it. The other two are interesting though. So I vote for 3. Thanks for everything.

I also live in NY and find the HRRR model more familiar to me and likely to reflect North American weather. It is difficult to see the other models in use so to vote for the others in my case would be a blind vote. My vote is for HRRR. Thanks for your tremendous work on this site!
