QPF field on GFS much more smooth vs the ratty presentation on the NAM and RGEM

 

It's smoothing out a little too much as this will be a short term Hi Res meso model forecast starting on Saturday.

The nurlun convective band will have a sharper snowfall gradient in the JP zones. The Euro should

also do better than GFS in this situation.

The higher resolution models will be able to pick up the nuances of this system. The gfs looks way too dry I'd favor models like Nam/Rgem in this case.

Don't ever favor the nam. I would argue quite the opposite. They are too honed in on micro features which is resulting in them struggling with the overall QPF shield. I think the GFS has a much more realistic handle on the QPF field as high-res models struggle with large dynamic systems, especially miller Bs. I'm not buying into the SNE shafting as advertised on the nam...
