NAM hasn't had a consistent run in a few years....

I thought the NAM has done well with the system this winter, obviously overdone QPF wise to an extent but for the most part I think it has done a solid job of picking up and depicting well some key features...maybe verification maps will prove me wrong here but I've been pretty impressed.

For one, it (along with other models) did an excellent job with this system we just saw and the WAA and the timing of it.

I disagree....it blew; it oscillated from giving me just about all snow to hardly anything, inside of 48 hrs.

This is why it pays to have an extensive knowledge of climo because I stuck with 2-5" throughout all of that crap.

The NAM always pulls that sh** with swfes.

Yeah abysmal on qpf... like 1.1" here on last nights run and we get .4" :arrowhead:

Well by no means was it perfect in just about every location or with every aspect of the storm but the NAM was showing WAA occurring, at least down here in CT by early morning, as early as 12z and that's pretty much what happened, I know for this area it really had the majority of the precip change happening after 10-11 AM and that's what happened, I know I had mixed precip before then but there were periods where it was mainly snow but after 10-11 AM I saw zero snow and the NAM hit that well.

For such a complex system I think the models performed very well.

Yeah the southrn stream moisture that models had depicted a few days ago went poof. Remember when the GFS was keeping the streams apart, but taking a wet system off the SE coast. I thought if things phased we'd have some kinda hybrid miller A/B and be starting with some moisture. But this is essentially a clipper/Miller B.

It just seems so fast, but I suppose it's possible with such a progressive s/w. It's a shame it can't get its feet wet for another 6 hrs.

Jerry if you have time a very cool place to eat in TPA is the original Columbia in Ybor City...... fantastic place ..cuban/spanish cuisine, restaurant is a historic site.

Thanks Rick. I think I ate here a few years ago! This meeting is in St Pete so we're over on this side. Stuffed tonight with too much tapas if that's possible. Gotta sleep soon.....long dayy with little sleep last night. Truthfully I'm looking forward to my flight home Thurs night just ahead of the SECS.

Well, if the model can't get those details down within 12-24 hours, it should be scrapped.

It isn't that difficult for the model to be able to see WAA in a swfe.

Gfs was hauling balls too.

Really good to see the globals come around. But arent these the two models everyone craps on?

So aren't we all going to ride the nam pogo stick tonight? Maybe it's higher resolution is allowing it to pick something out?

Brian is right...both models haul and so does the euro. I'm tired and hallucinating, so I didn't notice.

But the higher resolution RGEM is on the stronger system side also....
