From the National Hurricane Center,
these assessments project global tropical weather for the next two weeks.
According to the NHC:
The Global Tropics Hazards and Benefits Assessment
provides an outlook for the upcoming 1 to 2 week time period
for areas expecting enhanced or suppressed rainfall integrated
over a week and regions where conditions are especially favorable

The anomalous rainfall outlooks target broad-scale conditions
and local conditions will vary.

I have received some comments that many of the times listed on the maps and other forecasts are in "Zulu", "Z", GMT, or UTC. So that you can easily know how recent the information is, I have connected this page to the NIST clock, in Colorado. You can accurately set your watch with this!
