Chicago WX Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Riding the NAM/Euro till the end.. NAM is much farther west with the QPF shield than the Euro. It's on its own now. Riding the Euro...yeah, not a bad call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Riding the NAM/Euro till the end.. The GFS is not that far off from being decent either. The RGEM is a head scratcher, nearly 150-200 miles off on the NW edge from the NAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
