The HWRF hurricane model graphics are available at six-hour increments up to 126 hours.

Hurricane forecasts are produced on demand every six hours at 00, 06, 12, and 18 UTC for up to four tropical storms at a time. The HWRF provides operational guidance for forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in both the North Atlantic and East Pacific basins. The following model description can be found in the product description document for the National Centers for Environmental Prediction's Model Analyses & Forecasts: The model will eventually run at an even higher resolution which will allow smaller scale features to become more discernible. The model will use data from satellite observations, buoys, and reconnaissance aircraft, making it able to access more meteorological data than any other hurricane model before it. The HWRF computer model is the operational backbone for hurricane track and intensity forecasts by the National Hurricane Center (NHC). Naval Research Laboratory, the University of Rhode Island, and Florida State University.

The model was developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. The Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting ( HWRF) model is a specialized version of the weather research and forecasting model and is used to forecast the track and intensity of tropical cyclones. HWRF 96-hour (4-day) forecast for Hurricane Katrina heading for New Orleans in 2005.
