Hello
Just a question, and sorry for my ignoring.
On the "predicted time" windows, what's mean :
16.4 06z ...
I think it will be the time of weather forecast, so the 16/04 at 06:00 GMT.
"z" could be "Zeit" in German so "Time" ?
I presume it is the GMT forecast time ?
It will be just logical but it's just the fruit of a reflection...
Thank you

The Z comes from "Zulu" time, which is a historical name for the GMT which is historical name for what we now call UTC ;-)
In the GFS terminology 00z refers to a weather model based on input data collected at 0h UTC. The data collection and preparation takes some time, so the first forecast output is available few hours later.
