meanwhile the Euro came west...

 

So this NAM went a tic east... and 18z yesterday it tic twice west, then baled at 00z ...only to come half way back a 12z, now e?

 

Giga motions causing permutations in output...

 

nothing in one run of the NAM would ever, or should ever, change a think-tanks forecast philosophy..

Absolutely not. It isn't even close to being a "blockbuster" storm. Or are you calling for a tic west?

 

well, I suppose it comes down to what's the definition of "blockbuster" --  I think 12 to 18" and blizzard warnings certainly count.  

 

this isn't really a topic worth of scrutiny or debate though - it's petty.

18z NAM dry burps are not uncommon

 

for perspective: 18z NAM is now drier than 12z Euro for eastern MA

 

the biggest change on this run is midlevel centers are less expansive and ticked southeast, so qpf shield is more confined

 

no reason to cancel anything just yet barring other 18z similar moves

Well the west trend stops.  Didn't the NAM lead the way with the west trend and now backs off.  Now you got to sit on the edge of your seats for another hour to see what the GFS does. Tough forecast down there. Stakes are high with Blizzard Warnings and Winter Storm Warnings.  Many schools will make their decisions based on that.  Really have to wait for the 0Z guidance later this eve but by then its too late.

It really stayed the same as far as track goes, Its the precip field that changed

Schools shouldn't make decisions until the morning.  I don't understand this absurd trend to making decisions the night before for storms--we all know how storms can bust for better or worse.  Of course, these are days when schools close because of the heat.

On the other hand 12-18" is way overdone. I'll be shocked if a large area takes that much like NWS map.
