Extending Precipitation Nowcasting Horizons via Spectral Fusion of Radar Observations and Foundation Model Priors
Paper β’ 2603.21768 β’ Published
This is the official Hugging Face repository for PW-FouCast, a novel frequency-domain fusion framework designed to extend precipitation nowcasting horizons by integrating weather foundation model priors with radar observations.
PW-FouCast addresses the challenge of representational heterogeneities between high-resolution radar imagery and large-scale meteorological data. By leveraging Pangu-Weather forecasts as spectral priors within a Fourier-based backbone, the model effectively bridges the gap between atmospheric dynamics and local convective patterns.
You can load the model weights for inference or fine-tuning as follows:
import torch
from pw_foucast import PWFouCast
from safetensors.torch import load_model
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
MODEL_REGISTRY = {
'pw_foucast': PW_FouCast,
}
ModelClass = MODEL_REGISTRY.get(args.model.lower())
model = ModelClass(**model_kwargs).to(args.device)
model = torch.nn.DataParallel(model)
# Load the model from Hugging Face
weights_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id=f"Onemiss/PW-FouCast", filename=f"{args.model}/{args.dataset}/model.safetensors")
load_model(model, weights_path)
# Eval
model.eval()
