The NAM is on its own island with this system so far. That's all I need to know. Now, if it fits someones else's narrative, they will argue until they are blue in the face.

The mets on here can say if I’m wrong, but you would think that if a model is initiating wrong on current conditions based on actual observations, then it would be a major red flag to the solutions it is putting outIt's snowing where the NAM has rain right now. I have 0 understanding on this model and just want to see how absurd it gets. Still a mess on it at hour 12. Hour 3 literally has rain in S AR.
But yet NWS has 1-3" in the WSW. What he$$ They thinkingMan if we can get the Hrrr to just tick colder one more time at 700mb then the upstate is easily all snow for the whole event. We're able to fight off any warm nose around 850mb from the residual cold pool. Just need that crest of that 750-800mb nose to tink one tiny click south.
Hope they have some good hills. 4 inches of sleet is the best thing going.Look at those sleet totals back in southern Arkansas. 3.5-4”. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that much sleet modeled.

FFC's callout with "over-perform" seems a bit of a punt. I can't shake the shuttering thought of ice storm feeling. Not cool.
Looks very similar to the Hrrr to me.I have no idea what the NSSL model is, other than it looks like really hi-resolution. But I LIKE IT! Just one more data point that says the NAM is off it's rocker.

The 18z name precip totals made a huge increase vs the Last few runs.I have no idea what the NSSL model is, other than it looks like really hi-resolution. But I LIKE IT! Just one more data point that says the NAM is off it's rocker.

Last call map from Allan.
He moved the bottom portion NORTH after todays guidance? What tha.
Yes, the model output accounts for it.....or tries toSome discussion about dry air and precip not reaching the ground -- correct me if I'm wrong, has been years since I've had a reason to be on these boards a lot, but model QPF outputs already account for that.

So, Roddy, not sure your "methodology" or "wishcasting" ability but you have stuck by your guns and the models seem to be trending your way. What part of N Bama do you live? That will give some perspective.Sleet reports coming out of Northern LA
