EDIT: Link to example map and source
In your example the map shows a forecast of 00 hours which is valid for 0600 UTC. Basically it means that the forecast/simulation is initialized on 0600 UTC and because the forecast time is 00 hours this forecast is also valid for 0600 UTC.
NOAA also provides forecasts for several hours (or days depending on the product). In this case, your simulation may be initialized on 0600 UTC but if you want to see what the conditions on 1500 UTC are you have a forecast of 09 hours which is valid for 1500 UTC. See this example.
