dtk Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Isn't that the high resolution version of the Nam?, either way I was joking. I assume you mean 4 km (not kt) NAM nest....which is the CONUS nest that is run inside of the NAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes exactly i am on my phone overseas and this swift key sucks, is it any better than the regular Nam at all?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtk Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Yes exactly i am on my phone overseas and this swift key sucks, is it any better than the regular Nam at all?. Actually yes, it is quite decent for certain things. It's a 4 km model, so targeted to address local, convective, small scale features, etc. It still doesn't have its own assimilation (similar to the HRRR) so that hinders its usefulness.

Bob Chill Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Congrats Bob, you've been 18z-gfs-purpled. And I'm very comforted with the fact that I can give up 2 shades of purple and still be purpled. I should go to bed now and wake up Tuesday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Slow, deep breaths, Bob.I was mostly expecting a big hit with 18z. Many things went in our favor today. I didn't think the 18z would reverse it this time. That will be 0z's job. One nice takeaway was the first 60 hours of each model showed pretty much the same thing. That's an important window with this storm. I think chances of a massive shift are getting close to being over. Too bad we can still get royally shafted by a subtle shift.
