one more meso question........are there one or two models that are significantly better than the others or are they all similar in their accuracy?

depends on the situation, certain models handle certain types of storms and patterns better or worse. NAM has been kinda wonky this winter though

I would wait for the rest of the 0z suite, before you guys throw the NAM out. Just in case. The statement is not saying there is issues, just that the balloon was forced down. And you know if the NAM showed everyone being clobbered, it wouldn't matter to you guys whether that balloon got forced down or not. If the rest or part of the 0z suite comes in like that, we know people N and W may be in trouble then.

until I see an official report from NOAA, I will brush off these assumptions about feedback issues. 0 Z runs are typically the best overall

Here you go:

how can 1 balloon kill a model run. that is just not plausible.

it didn't...more of a coincidence that the balloon went down. It is clear convective feedback, or its right. NAM has a tendency with its extremely high resolution to have run to run inconsistencies like this where it chases high QPF which acts like a domino effect in terms of dynamics and LP placement
