Not sure why people are talking about the NAM being way south.

 

It isn't.

 

The 500 mb low comes off the coast at NC, not SC.

The surface low is not really south either.

 

The NAM is not taking the EURO kool-aid.

 

The precip shield moved south about 25-40 miles...For example the 18z NAM gave me in Philly .75-1.00, the 00z? 0.00

It isn't how much further south it is, it's the qpf cutoff to the north that makes us think about the euro's solution.

its definitely trending toward the Euro wrt phasing. I still am not buying a final solution yet. Interesting in that the shortwave that eventually phases with it was once a part of it which splits and goes north, then tries to rephase later on. I imagine the slower solution is the cause of this. Want to see where the rest of the 0Z suite comes in. Anyone within 50 - 75 miles of the bullseye could be it at this point, in reality in either direction.

Brutal QPF gradient, but I wouldn't worry about the NAM's precip gradient at 60+ hours.  50mi difference is still teeny tiny at this stage, especially for the NAM. 

Yeah no kidding, ouch.  .1-.25 in QPF in Northern Balto county/Carroll county and over to Harford Co Md  .5 QPF from HGR to Balto City, .75 from MRB to Frederick MD, 1" from OKV to DCA

and then south it just silly QPF of 1.25 to 2"

I said the last 2 runs I don't like it when a model slows, but it didn't hurt BWI at 12z or 18z

but eventually, it starts to, like on this run

such a tight wound thing

tough few days coming for some of us I suspect

I don't buy the tight wound solution just yet. Interesting configuration for sure, not one that I think I've totally seen before. I think this should put a final nail in the coffin that the SREFs are NO predictor of the NAM, as they are based off of old data.

It's just one run, and not the best timeframe for the NAM performance-wise.  I'm not quite buying the S jog, unless it becomes a real trend, which it isn't at this point.

 

The main issue I suppose at this point is that it's a bit towards the Euro.

I want to see how/when that northern shortwave splits off. I don't think thats an evolution I've ever seen. A spoke splitting off the bowling ball only trying to re-entangle later on.

Yeah, the EURO may be right for the wrong reason.  

 

The Euro clearly shoves the 500 mb to the SE.  The NAM places the low near enough to

our area but introduces the precipitation gradient from Hades.
