That being said, the hissy fits over a single op model run beyond HR240 not showing a Top 10 Miller A are exhausting. I feel like many are chasing a 20”+ big dog and anything less is a rug (even something close to a 4-8er) 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormy Posted December 29, 2025 Share Posted December 29, 2025 The GEM at 240 could be on to something. Southern Arkansas to Myrtle Beach. This is not far from where the EURO was 24 hrs. ago. Verification at this range is comparable to the GFS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m personally not expecting it, however it has also been 30 years since the last time a Niña delivered to that level so law of averages may be at play.

Honestly, it sometimes outperforms both the EURO and GFS, especially with thermals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August said: 12z gefs has a nice signal Jan 7/8. I know it's an old adage, but I trust op and ensemble guidance at 00z/12z much more beyond HR 120 because they have the addition of the upper air data. It also mitigates the sensation of rug pulls every 6hrs. Once you get inside D5/HR120, the 06/18z guidance has more value. Just my personal opinion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And remember I posted in response to a decent 5H on the Eps it was important to know how it got there. A few of us were also urging 'cautious' optism having been thru this year-in and year-out. But yeah, the social media warriors were hammering on 100% certainty. Still optimistic on my end at least, albeit tiptoeing cautiously in here.

The signals are still there, and haven't changed much over the past few days from what i have seen.
