* - Denotes Hi-Fidelity images used to forecast coastal winds or view storm details (2 mb isobars w/higher density wind flags). Low fidelity images use 4 mb isobars w/less densely spaced wind arrows)
+ - Denotes ultra Hi-Fidelity images with 1 mb isobars and full .11 degree wind barbs in 3 hr increments out 84 hrs
++ - Denotes ultra Hi-Fidelity (like above) but in 1 hour increments instead of 3 hr. Projects out 36 hours

Images update 4 times daily. Most files are relatively small from 0.5 - 1.3 meg but some can reach up to 3 meg.
