To dummy it down for you, all you have to do is look at the simulated radars to see that the QPF outputs make perfect sense. Not to mention all the dynamics in play.

 

you still don't KNOW that the nam forecast is not overdone.  you are supporting your belief.  it does not make it fact.

Just stop, look at the simulated radars, the NAM is not overdone and it has good model support.

:lol:

 

Again, it printed 5" or so of liquid precip for most of north/central NJ at one point prior to the 2/8 blizzard and one of its known biases is for being too wet. Hump it all you want but I'm not.

Exactly. One always has to be very careful with NAM QPF output. This used to always be an issue with the Eta as well. Cutting totals in half has been a good rule of thumb. If the 12z output is correct, I'd say that this is a 6-12 in. type event. Classic MECS.

The NAM in this case is only slightly higher than all of the other guidance.
