Wish we could get one of the universities to run it...at least the 3k. But it would be a bad look for NCEP if everyone started flocking to Ewall or SUNY to see every NAM run while Rufus has more tumbleweeds than views.

I think they've made their bed and they'll have to lie in it either way. At least they were smart enough to wait until the end of met summer/severe wx season before ending it.

I wish more free models sites at the RRFS data. I like COD and Tidbits for quick and easy viewing. I get a little lost on what I'm clicking at Pivotal sometimes.

Pleezy weezy with sugar on top let's see that happen.   ha

Comfortable is good.

I am not against, nor a fan of Judah Cohen's contributions ... I realize there's been some banter in here that's ranged from flattery to ... not so flattering opinions of the guy - I'm not part of that one way or the other.

Having defined that ... I don't have a problem at all with his surmise/intimation there that it bears some semblance to last winter.  I said almost exactly that to Brian in a post yesterday or the day before.  

Whether it ends up "comfortable" like he suggests is different combinations of metric than just temp though.  He needs to be careful there ... or at least, the readers/consumers need to be aware. 

If it ends up normal temperatures ...  that doesn't automatically intimate lower DPs to me. Not at this time of year - nor particularly to what the general synoptic trends look like out there.  Particularly, if the transient trough in the Lakes starts to retrograde like the 00z ens clusters all agreed it would do... that means it is challenged to really make it COC -like.   It would be more vaginal I guess... heh ( puerile humor ).

It's a new-ish signal but the neg anomalies associated move back toward the S/W continent just beyond next week. For a real air cleansing... the trough needs to go the other way ... opening up and progressing E.

What in the sam hell am I trying to interpret here

Speaking of the NAM grid....  woof.   Thickness 572 to 575, first time this season basically sets in now, out thru 60 hours. 

850's look like 15C.  Lot of a cloud production tho so that probably limits it's already tendency for 2-meter temp retardation a bit.

30C at 980mb in NYC on Thursday tho would probably be 96 in EWR

Probability of quintile range 0.0 <= x < 20% for 2 metre temperature probability

Sucks the strongest shear lags behind the front Friday. but with large CAPE/a bit of an EML we could still pull off some big storms, its just they would be more pulse type and may not be organized

Violently agree.  Perfect summer weather!
