QPF from 6hr NBM - Forums - ForecastBuilder

Thanks Justin. This still defaults to using WPC, though, right? That's the behavior I'm seeing.

Hello Jared,

Make sure you don't have any hourly QPF options in your ForecastBuilderConfig. As long as you haven't made customizations in there and have HourlyNBMQPF set to False, ForecastBuilder will create 6 hourly QPF grids.

Hello all, is there a way to force ForecastBuilder to use NBM 6 hourly QPF like it used to before the CFP? I'm aware of the " HourlyNBMQPF" option, but we've identified issues with the hourly NBM QPF that may not be resolved for awhile. 

Thanks!
