THE NAM HAS TRENDED FASTER AND DEEPER WITH THIS SYSTEM. THE GFS
HAS ALSO TRENDED FASTER WITH THE LOW.

MODEL DIFFERENCES AND PREFERENCES...

...LOW LIFTING NORTHWESTWARD FROM THE BAHAMAS...
THE NAM IS CONSIDERABLY SLOWER AND DEEPER THAN THE GFS WITH THIS
SYSTEM. THE GEM GLOBAL MODEL IS SIMILAR TO THE NAM...BUT THESE
TWO MODELS HAVE SHOWN THIS DEVELOPED BIAS WITH SYSTEMS ORIGINATING
IN THIS REGION THE PAST WARM SEASON. WILL THEREFORE RECOMMEND A
SOLUTION CLOSER TO THE FASTER...FLATTER GFS/ECMWF/UKMET MODEL
CONSENSUS.
