H2Otown_WX Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I guess all we can say for sure is either the NAM or the GFS is going to get b***h slapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 The difference between H5 on the NAM/GFS is pretty astonishing...as well as at the sfc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phishn Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 <br /><br /><br /> the gfs is not the model we should be using in this scenario<br /> <br /><br /><br />Agreed. I'm concerned about nam and euro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 It's stronger in the upper levles than the 18z run. I don't see why it should be tucked in a bit closer. Well because heights out ahead were a little flatter. If heights are higher, and you have more of the S-curve look in the height lines, you increase diffluence and hence the low will intensify and move more north. Like I said..I don't know if it's right. Personally, I would say the final solution is west of the gfs, jmho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southshorewx Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 but fails, yea Dec 9 2005 Matt Noyes just used that storm for his wind forcast. That event had 100 + winds. Crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Would we get 8+ from NAM? Likely. Would we get it from RGEM? Likely. Would we get it from GFS? Likely. Tis true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confuzzled Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I guess all we can say for sure is either the NAM or the GFS is going to get b***h slapped. The RGEM and SREFs don't have as much pcp as the Nam but still considerably more than the GFS and the Euro as well. Everything I am looking at is showing more pcp and further west than the gfs (SREF, NAM, RGEM and even the 12z Euro). Have to wait for the euro tonight now to comment further but the Gfs looks a bit lonely right now... Safest forecast is probably somewhere between the two extremes (Nam/GFS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2Otown_WX Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Man, this is a tough forecast for western areas, I don't know what to think at this point. As a , I want to believe the GFS is too far east but I also think the NAM is overdoing it...maybe the ECM is a good compromise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomNH Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I will certainly take that QPF graphic and run with it If I end up getting 6'' after all this fanfare, I'll be more than a bit perturbed.

dendrite Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Dec 05 did not use the NAM as we know it today. It was just the ETA model with the name "NAM". The NAM switched from ETA to WRF in June 06. So this is not the same NAM that was spitting out model images for Dec 05. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostman Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Someone explain to me why the maps on twisterdata.com don't have LI on them. I've been drinking - so that might be the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Miser Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 . . . Allright. Now I'm out. Bed is calling me. If I wake up tomorrow and find that I'm really not in the jackpot forecast area like I was today, I really won't be that upset. Just want to keep winter rolling forward on a positive like we seem to have been doing since after Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisrotary12 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I have a buddy who works for the NWS in North Carolina. He says and i quote " All I can tell you is that the NAM omega fields nailed our snow band today whereas the GFS missed it." good sign for us weenies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
