The NAM is a huge outlier right now. How many times have we seen the NAM have these off the wall runs just before a storm then back way down to reality? Watch the 12z run flip. I think the 0z Euro/EPS is the closest to reality tomorrow here. The Euro is not going to be that far off this close in

The Euro has blew chunks this winter

Everyone discounted the Nam before and got burned in 2016.

SREF shifted west

The operational Euro uses 4DVAR, its resolution is very good for a global model. In fact, we have seen it school mesoscale models on a couple of occasions in the past. It’s extremely unlikely that the Euro is way off this close to the event. It’s had the same solution for tomorrow for several runs now 

The Euro has had some tremendous issues or "late to the party" situations over the last several winters.  It's overall a tremendous model and tends to do very very well synoptically, but my confidence in it's performance during the winter and with EC events has been shaken to a fair degree.

No it hasn't

It has been trended west everyday and the Euro can be way off close to an event.

All factual.

All weenie rationalization. IMO the nmb members being pumped is a great sign so I agree with ulster.

Yes sir

9z SREF

.50 line is just passed NYC to the west

.75 line starts near the Brooklyn / Queens border

1.00 line is in central LI

More than 1.00 line is in eastern LI

I seem to remember the big 2/6/10 storm that stopped short of us wound up throwing huge amounts back to Pittsburgh which I don't remember being in the mix originally....but I could be"misremembering"

Some accumulations from that storm:

Atlantic City: 18.2”
Baltimore: 25.0”
New York City: Trace
Newark: 0.4”
Philadelphia: 28.5”
Washington, DC: 17.8”

The 0Z Euro underestimated the NW extent of the heavier convection over Northern Florida on the latest radar image. It had the heaviest convection further SE.

0z Euro forecast

A possible early "win" for the NAM. Still, much more remains to play out with the evolution of this highly complex and dynamic system. It will be interesting to see if the 12z NAM corrects back east or maintains a solution similar to the 6z run.

Yea the infamous virga storm. I was in disbelief for hours after seeing heavy precip hit what seemed to be a titanium wall. Even more excruciating than Jan 2015.

What you are seeing over northern Florida could be melting snowflakes aloft.  I would not be too quick to classify that as convection.  The 8am obs are below.  Many reports of frozen precip down there this morning.

That's correct. That's why I used possible, as I hadn't had a chance to look at the observations at the time. FWIW, I still think the 6z NAM is an outlier and would not be surprised to see the 12z run move into better agreement with the RGEM and some of the other guidance. We'll soon see.

Somehow I think Nam will be West...southern stream much better yet again, overall trof axis is better, with better heights/PNA Ridge 

if you toggle between the 15hr at 12Z vs. the 21hr at 6Z you will see everything is slightly NE so far. Not saying that will continue, just stating the facts
