This Euro run doesn't have the dry slot from hell. The initial fronto band looks less impressive, but at least it doesn't fly right through. Eastern NE really cleans up.
The absence of a high to the northwest of the system allows the CCB to fan out north and west instead of pivoting, followed by the dry slot. Not a classic set-up at all.
Euro back to a regionwide powerhouse. The 144 panel is just scary. Heavy snows already entrenched throughout SNE and CNE, with a monster vortex still poised to drop in.
Those models deserve a good flogging!!
