Trash. Like the NAM on steroids. Not sure it’s ever been right. Always has insanely high qpf.

Here's :beer:to an 80 mile shift north over the next couple of days to be in the jackpot or for the storm to stay where its at, whichever comes first!  Enjoy this one you southerners in the Mid Atlantic!  Hopefully, we can squeeze out a couple of inches and be happy here in PA!

He would have been freaking out about the thunder snow today. Anyhow. NAM is definitely juiced up more. 

I still remember when I was a kid and Jim Cantore was live during a storm in Boston.   He got some thundersnow live on the air and he went crazy.  He started chewing screen like a C-list actor.  Thought he turned into Steve Irwin or something.

Just in case anyone was wondering, the purpose for the NBM. As we know, most model suites have their ensembles at lower resolution. NBM was conceived to take operational models for the most part and use them as an ensemble suite. It makes sense since the operationals have the highest resolution. This was told to me on Phillywx by Rainshadow, who retired from NWS Philly a few years ago.

        I'll spare everyone the NBM history, but right now, the winter suite at this range actually uses all ECMWF and GEFS ensemble members, along with 10 SREF ARW members and the GFS.     We're now coming into the range where it will start using the NAM Nest and HiRes Window FV3.

KC...

Damn, guess KC is gonna be jack for this storm. We had our chance, I guess.  Maybe next time.  

 

ETA - he's probably got some insider contacts at both the euro and GFS.  Already knows what's gonna happen for the 00Z runs.  Keep an eye on his whereabouts for the tell.  Natural gas futures traders hate this one trick...

Yup! This is the stage where if we see any deviations from the norm, it would be now with the introduction of the CAMs. The D3-5 period is pretty boring typically on the NBM with regards to changes, I've noticed unless there is a noticeable shift in the general synoptics. So far nothing shows that at this lead. Appreciate taking the top to pop in and give some low down on the model background part of things @high risk I try my best, but you and @dtk are more well versed than I on the inner workings of most, if not all relevant NWP.
