A question for those who use wind guru, which forecast do you go by for Sandy Hook? There are several different ones, GFS, NAM, HRW, etc. and they all seem to vary, sometimes significantly. Thanks

All different computer forcast models.... This is the field I am choosing to go into, meteorology. Anyways, it depends on the scenario. The ECMWF is dependable in fast moving systems, exc quicker storms, and can pick these out in the long run. However the GFS picks up on longer storms and fine tunes the ECMWF.... However, depending on when you are looking, the Gfs is usually favored by many outlets. But sometimes got to trust the NAM within 54 hours nothing further
