If anything I'm just intrigued on the increase in precip on the 18z GEFS. That's bigger in my book than the LR NAM. 

I agree especially since it was the farthest south just 2 days ago now the most current 18Z GEFS is giving the metro the most precip with the coastal - in addition nobody uses the NAM for longer range past 60 hours

Anecdotally at least, the 18z GFS is the crazy uncle. It just makes stuff up. Do they actually keep track of the accuracy of the different runs?

Very interesting. Thanks!

Np. To clarify though, I mean it is better than the preceding 12z run. So it is always an improvement except way out in lalaland. Not that it has better verification than 12z overall.

I don't think any model has a handle on what exactly is going to happen in this situation because it is very complex and depends on the strength and timing of each individual player -especially in redevelopment scenarios - 50 - 100 miles either way with each makes a big difference and still over 2 days away there is room for adjustments one way or the other .....

Based off what?

One run isnt a trend

Based on the fact that it is on the northern envelope of guidance. There is no reason to blindly chose it because you like it better. It has been inconsistent and the guidance that was most amped to start (ggem/Navgem) backed off. I didn't like seeing the German model back off at 18z either.

I fully acknowledge that I could be wrong and the GFS could double down. My guess is that it was too far northwest at 18z. It's all in fun, nobody relies on anything I say here.

you have to worry that the NW trend was an overcorrection and we're now going to see a shift back south...NAM definitely moved torwards today's drier runs of the Euro and JMA. 

3 things to worry about

1. progressive pattern

2. positively tilted trough

3. screw zone once the OH low dies and the coastal forms.

CRAS is flat and heads due East off OBX to Bermuda. Red flag raised. This model is usually overamped so the fact it is weaker and flatter than the NAM should raise an eyebrow.

There aren't many models I don't even look at, but that's one of them. Along with the Russian model which has a resolution of about 1000 sq mi.
