make the source code public!

Almost certain that it is.  But implementing it is a different beast. Various academic institutions have the run the WRF real-time, but even that is difficult to keep up without dedicated staff.

And besides losing the joy of a happy hour NAMing, the NAM is/was the best for mixing lines as we saw last winter. We’re gonna get surprised by pingers.

Losing the 3k is unfortunate.  In the few times looking at the RRFFFSSSS, the 3k was much more "correct".  Losing the acuracy of mixing with be a real forcasting crunch.
