Tonights SUNY MM5 can be added to the list of higher resolution models shaking hands with the NAM

500vor.60.0000.gif

That depiction is obviously insane (5 closed 500mb contours), and the MM5 isn't in its optimal range yet, but it does make one wonder if the global solutions generally are too flat and not seeing the more mesoscale aspects of bombogenesis/baroclinicity, etc. Particularly when aloft, the globals so far are trending more potent.

It seems pretty amazing IMO that all the high resolution models thus far are pretty much in the same camp.

Its not a matter of "being nice" it could be a matter of resolution in the models..

Time will tell I guess with the ECM ....being its a high resolution model I am looking for it to lean more in the camp of the other high res models then the GFS...

The EC has more (much more) in common with the GFS than with the NAM ARW etc. While its higher resolution than the GFS, its still a global spectral model, like the GFS. Its much different from, say, the NAM.

The 0z Euro should tell us a lot since it has the same resolution as the NAM.

Definitely correct. It's a whole lot wetter, though (at 12z)..bringing the 1" line west of the NY/NJ border towards EWR.
