Is there any reason to even run the NAM? All anyone ever does is talk about how it has no skill at any range for any product it produces.

 

Yeah, but you go with it's bias of being to wet and to far NW, and if you take that into account that's not good, but we are talking about the NAM at 60 hours, but you could tell by 48 hours it wasn't going to be as good.  I think the NAM is pretty good inside 36 hours and plus the energy doesn't get on the conus until tomorrow afternoon, so would think 12z runs tomorrow will be the real deal.

The NAM tends to over do precip this far out. It was spitting out ridiculous totals for the event last week.2+ amounts it had for some areas.

 

Good rule of thumb is to take the model that spits out the lowest precip/snow totals, win a lot of money with that hand.

Wasn't really bummed about the NAM but the RGEM definitely is a bummer.  Where is Widre at, this is going to be an epic failure again, only this time we don't get model runs bumping up precip as we get closer only to fall apart as it starts, this will be a case where the QPF just trickles down off the models like an hour glass.  We will be rationalizing every day, well 3-5" is great....well 2-4" is OK....1-2" would still be a victory...a light glaze on the trees is our best shot.

60 hours.  Below is the latest RGEM, gut punch for sure, backed way off it's 18z run, only goes out to 48 hours

 

 

 

Yeah, follows the same logic as the latest NAM with weaker front end energy and less influence with the polar s/w, based on the precip shield compared to the last run.
