As of February 2022, the LAMP pages hosted on the weather.gov server will be transitioning to the NOAA Virtual Lab (home page: https://vlab.noaa.gov/web/mdl/lamp). Please discontinue use of the LAMP weather.gov pages and instead use the LAMP VLab pages. All links to live data still go to the nws.noaa.gov server, so any bookmarks you have to live data should be unaffected by this change, which only impacts the static, informational LAMP webpages.

Please see here for more information about this transition.

Note:  While we are transitioning our web pages, all of the products below link to product pages on the old system. Products on those pages are up-to-date, but links on those pages may go to old information or may be broken. Thank you for your patience!

LAMP is a statistical system which provides forecast guidance for sensible weather elements. LAMP updates MOS on an hourly basis, is run on NOAA/NWS/NCEP Weather and Climate Operational Supercomputer Systems (WCOSS) computers and disseminated centrally from NCEP, and provides guidance for over 1600 stations as well as gridded observation and forecast guidance on the NDFD CONUS 2.5-km grid out to 25 hours.  

 

LAMP provides station guidance for the following weather elements:  

  • 2-meter temperature
  • 2-meter dewpoint
  • 10-m Wind speed, direction, and gusts
  • Probability of precipitation (on hr)
  • Probability of measurable precipitation (6- and 12-h)
  • Precipitation type
  • Precipitation characteristics
  • Lightning
  • Convection
  • Ceiling height
  • Conditional ceiling height
  • Opaque sky cover
  • Visibility
  • Conditional visibility
  • Obstruction to vision
