How's it do it?

 

The NAM gets the ULL further S and underneath the SFC LP latitude. That allows the ULL to drive up heights slightly and 'push' the SFC LP further N while tugging on it.

The 3K high res NAM shows absolutely nothing of the sort. Not even close in fact. Given the 12K NAM’s horrid performance over the last few storms color me very skeptical.

Also note the Wrn energy is held back. That allows the entrance jet into the trough to be much stronger and thus a more amplified ULL and further S ULL which allows the scenario above.

We have been getting favorable H5 runs but they haven't translated to the surface.

I wouldn't use the 12k NAM as a standalone forecast tool if my life depended on it.

 

Just sharing.

Ok chief LOL… how about we just wait and see if any of the other models show anything close to this.

Hey Chief, here’s the 3K NAM, even at Kuchera ratios. Nothing, zilch, nada. Something is obviously wrong with what the 12K just showed. ZERO support from ANY other model (even its ensembles/SREFS). But let’s go ahead and ride the 12K NAM. It’s obviously an extreme outlier

Nam shows 3-4 inches of snow for the area

What area? The forum covers an area about 75 miles out in all directions from NYC. That's a lot of different areas weather wise, and even if places 50-75 miles south of the city are projected by the NAM to get 3-4 inches I wouldn't hold my breath.

Wait a second did I ever say I was believing it lol… it’s more comical than anything! Now if other models showed roughly the same outcome then perhaps something is going on. Today by 0z was my cut off day with this “storm” I know later then most but I had to let for possible changes to happen. Also again it’s happened before not saying it will so let me get that straight across to you.
