Rapid Refresh (RAP) RAP covers North America and is comprised primarily of a numerical forecast model and an analysis assimilation system to initialize that model RAP is complemented by the higher-resolution 3km High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) model, which is also updated hourly and covering a smaller geographic domain
