North American Mesoscale (NAM) model
The North American Mesoscale (NAM) model is a weather forecasting tool that provides detailed short-term predictions for North America. It uses computer simulations to analyze data like temperature, wind, and humidity across the region, updating every hour to predict weather conditions up to 84 hours ahead. The model focuses on smaller-scale weather features such as thunderstorms, local rain, and snow, helping meteorologists make more accurate forecasts for specific areas. Its high resolution allows for better understanding of localized weather events, making it useful for emergency planning, aviation, and outdoor activities.
