Some models (e.g., medium range global) will provide products out to 5 days; the mesoscale models will provide products to 36 h or 48 h. The intention is to standardize the model graphical products (colors, domains, levels, variables) as much as possible to allow for easy intercomparison of output from multiple modeling systems.
