This is why the catalog of GEFS has been removed. There were talking between Unidata and NOAA about restoring the GEFS feed but nothing happening yet. The bad news is no alternate source available, the NCEI catalog only has months-old data and is not even aggregated. Hoping User Committee will keep push to get this data feed restored. Sorry about it.
