GEMPAK 6.6.0 is now available at the download page https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/gempak/
In addition to general table and map updates, 6.6.0 includes updates to NEXR2RHI and NMAP2, as well as an improved pre-compilation system architecture determination which eliminates the need to modify configuration files on some systems. Other updates include improved support for the migration to AWIPS II, and the ability to display Cryosat and high-resolution OSCAT data (thanks to the work done by Greg McFadden at OPC).

Example RAP output
Rapid Refresh (RAP) is the next-generation hourly-updated
replacement for the Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) numerical
model covering North America. The
National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), along
with the Earth Systems Research Laboratory (ESRL) have been
running the RAP model experimentally for some time, and NCEP
plans to switch to the RAP for operational use on Tuesday,
May 1 2012. (If May 1st is a Critical Weather Day,
the transition will take place as soon as practical afterward).
