Rain/snow line will be wicked and close on the NAM. Folks just on the all snow side will see a serious thump.

It is very close but the sounding even have me as snow but they have such a deep isothermal layer right at freezing that it would take very little to change it. weaken the lifting a little and it's likely that a warm layer would show up, shift the surface low north a little, the same deal. The nam also probably is overdoing the qpf over our area as it often does.

PHL is clearly in the dark blue on the precip maps... but this says 0.22 QPF

DCA is clearly around 0.5 QPF... but this says 0.27

who cares? i mean i know people do but they shouldnt need to know down the .01 what they are getting on a model that's probably at least half wrong.

Personally I would find it helpful to know why the model is doubling the totals reported from it's own soundings on it's precip maps. Perhaps it's a glitch.

The precip is for 3 hrs but the increments are in 6 hours. So its missing half of every increment.

This.

And this. Honestly, the QPF fetish around here is rather off-putting. Concentrate on the dynamics of the system rather than the finite details up until nowcast time. Notable trends are okay, but otherwise it should really be kept to a minimum. (is this a control freak post or an IMHO post?)
