Explanation of the Forecast Times

In the title of each plot, you will see something like the following...

The '00z' and '12z' are UTC times, or "Zulu Times". Look to see which of the 2 lines matches the title (the red boxes). In this example the first line matches, so this plot is the "Tuesday, April 29, 2003, 5:00 pm PDT forecast".

Warning: These date/time conversions are my calculations. They are not from the waveplot source site. Do not assume they are correct! Verify them to confirm their accuracy! Do not use as a basis for any decisions that could result in harm to people, critters, or property!

When viewing a plot, if you wish to refresh or print it, right-click with your mouse in the gray area above the plot and select from the menu.
