Something has to give though.  Either the NAM caves or the others do.  Would be the NAMs biggest coup of them all if it verifies, though probs are not on its side.  Exciting to see how this all comes together!

 

You have to look at the mid level centers and the trends since 00z. The NAM has trended dramatically towards the farther west in that regard.

Wow. Again, if only the NAM was a reliable model...

 

I'm still not sure I buy a low track hugging the coast past Cape May. The kicker should hopefully provide a shunt NE from there. Hopefully it does, or people from the city east will be watching western NJ and the Hudson Valley pile up with whatever CCB comes through.

All the precip that falls on the 12z Nam is with the freezing line right through NYC. It's a great run. As it warms up on this rain, the rain shuts off

NAM is warm after hour 30. 850s go above freezing for the entire area by 18z tomorrow. 

We are in a dry slot at that time. Most of the precip is over before we await for the CCB.

The mid level lows have to be aligned properly, or the CCB won't be a factor. Verbatim, it looks a lot better for you than from the city east on that.

 

The mid level tracks on this run are really poor and have trended toward the ECMWF guidance. The 850mb track is very bad initially as it allows east/southeasterly winds to pull in warm air all the way to N NJ. 

 

When the CCB is trying to develop, the broad 850mb low can't pull in enough cold air advection to cool the column. The perfect mid level center tracks we were seeing yesterday are gone on this run of the NAM.

I'm going to call BS and say this closes off around hours 33-36 at 500mb and allows the CCB to really get going. The NAM was so close to doing it and the GFS has been trending in that direction.

Verbatim, the further west 850mb low causes warm air to come in a lot quicker and the front end may increasingly be rain near the coast if that's true. A lot of us need that further east so that the warm air can be delayed. Now, the 850s are climbing above 0 by 15z where prior runs and 0z models were having that happen by 18z.
