"AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE LOW WILL TRACK OUTSIDE OF

THE 40/70 BENCHMARK FRIDAY...AND THEN MOVE INTO THE CANADIAN

MARITIMES FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS TRACK WOULD PRODUCE ONLY A GLANCING

BLOW TO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND WITH ANY PRECIPITATION BEING IN THE

FORM OF SNOW"

Appears they aren't riding the NAM until it's wrong.

And by the way, it wasn't exactly stellar today.....in fact if you look at the 8h scores it would have been probably an even split after 12z today on the 0z run.

The only person actually suggesting we "ride the NAM until it's wrong" is SnowNH, who is quite possibly the biggest weenie on the forums at this time and should not only be limited to 5 posts a day, but 5 words per post.

how many times this season have we seen storms look too far away even up to two days prior only to come west and nail us? Still literally days for this thing to trend. CoT will win again

I agree the trend of this season is starting from se of bench mark and nudge nw in time.

THURSDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY...

YET ANOTHER NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE DROPS INTO THE EASTERN NORTH

AMERICAN TROF THURSDAY AND DIGS OVER THE GREAT LAKES. YET ANOTHER

SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE RACES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TOWARD

THE SOUTHERN STATES. THERE CONTINUE TO BE DIFFERENCES IN THE

HANDLING OF THIS SYSTEM. THE NAM AND GGEM AND 15Z SREF ARE FARTHEST

WEST WITH THE TRACK...BRINGING THE CENTER ACROSS THE CAPE AND

ISLANDS. THE GFS AND ITS ENSEMBLES AND THE ECMWF MOVE THE CENTER

ABOUT 1 DEGREE OR SO OUTSIDE/EAST OF THE 40N/70W BENCHMARK.

OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY WITH THE SYSTEM. WE HAVE OPTED FOR A

BLEND WHICH BRINGS PCPN INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AFTER MIDNIGHT

THURSDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUES THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY FRIDAY.

COMBINED MOISTURE AND STRONG LIFT IS FORECAST IN THE DENDRITE ZONE

FROM MID MORNING TO MID AFTERNOON.

BOTTOM LINE...WE HAVE CONTINUED LIKELY POPS ALL AREAS. TEMPERATURE

PROFILES POINT TO ALL SNOW...BUT THE TRACKS OF THE NAM-GGEM-SREF

WOULD SUGGEST POTENTIAL FOR A MIX OR CHANGE TO RAIN ON CAPE COD AND

ISLANDS.

That's what happens when you deal with system that have such an extreme negative tilt...not sure how many times it has to happen for everyone to realize this. When you're dealing with a strongly negatively tilted system the storm is going to track as far west as possible within the setup.

Yeah I did but I have a reason.

The NAM has been handling the negative tilt of the troughs much better than the other models and when the negative tilt occurs which is why we've been seeing the NAM more west than other models...notice how as we've gotten closer to events we finally see the other models come around to the NAM.
