This nowCOASTâ„¢ time-enabled map service provides maps depicting the past four hours of surface meteorological analyses of air temperature, dew point temperature, visibility, wind velocity, wind speed, wind gust, and 1-hr accumulated precipitation from the NWS/NCEP Real-Time Mesoscale Analysis (RTMA) system. The horizontal spatial resolution depends on geographic region: 2.5 km (1.6 miles) horizontal resolution for CONUS, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Guam and 3 km (1.86 miles) for Alaska region.
