NAM sim radar doing very well so far.

Not really. Missed the precip/echoes way into Long Island (system is moving along) and was way underdone around Philly. No model did all that well best I can see. If it were possible to do a checklist of good/bad on a 50 point scale the GFS/NAM would be about evenly split. We aren't done with the shifts, 0z will be entertaining. ARW :thumbsdown: , NMM much better but like I said nothing perfect. MM5 was kind of lacking too.

Just reviewed the Mesoscale map of temps in SNE. No evidence of a coastal front in SNE outside of the Islands. Looking at Radar and certainly not impressed although the heavier echoes are moving due NE. The low over the Ohio Valley looks quite strong and we're all awaiting the energy transfer. By this point, I'd be expecting lightning strikes by now east of the Delmarva. This thing isn't bombing over the NJ coast continental shelf like the Dec 26, 2010 storm, looks closer to Dec 9, 2005 but 50 miles south and east. I would be worried north of the Mass/ VT line with the exception of S NH. Bombogenesis is happening late and probably just south of E LI and Block Island. I-95 Corridor from New London to Boston jackpots. Coastal front stays over the Cape Cod canal or east. Deformation band to the far NW is always the Wildcard and I'm sure the eastern slopes of the Berkshires, Litchfield Hills, Hillsborough, NH, and York county, Maine do equally well if not better than the coastal plain.

This thing is already under modeled. The coastal is being under-forecasted, and the latest pressure falls are up the coast. The low is already W of any model. The way it is already exploding is impressive. The real fireworks don't begin for another 4-6 hours until the dynamic trop reaches the coast. This could very well hug the coast with the 06Z NAM verifying.

It looks like it's following the meso models well. Seems on track with them.

Definitely in both the west and the precip. Good job by them, Tip a few days ago, and all the mets today (nearly every one here) who leaned that way instead of to the globals. Looks like it will go that way.

It nailed the band in PA...as far as underdone around Philly, that can't be a bad thing. System is moving, but it seems to have the sfc low position nailed down pretty well at this time.

Talk dirty to me.

Where the hell is Messenger to throw a wet rag on the fun?

I've been trying to figure out what the f*** the MRG site is all about. What's going on with the trails being closed or am I on an old page?

Far as closer to the coast stuff goes...oregon inlet marina is about 1012.7, that's essentially exactly what both the 18z GFS and NAM had per these maps

If anything the NAM was a mb too strong....but inconsequential crap when we're talking about 1012-1013 at this stage, means nothing.

Some of the folks in other regions were for some reason calling storm cancel on this a few hours ago even though all obs had the coastal far more developed and farther W. Then Henry Margusity opened his big mouth and said some nonsense about the OV low pushing the coastal farther E. Silliness--and pathetic meteorology.

How is it under forecast? 18z NAM had it at 1012, 18z GFS had it at 1013. Lowest reported pressure anywhere that I could find at 0z is 1012.7.
