The North American Mesoscale Model (NAM) is a numerical weather prediction model developed by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), which is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the United States. The NAM is primarily used for short-range weather forecasting, covering time scales typically from a few hours up to 84 hours.
