I take back what I said. Ocean storm is phasing more effectively with the TPV allowing for lower heights over the NE. Not exactly sure why the phasing helps to allow for lower heights but that is the result.
Do you find it strange that the OP has consistently been further west than its own ensembles. Could the OP be seeing something different. Not sure what I would give more weight to at the moment.
H5 for the euro looks very similar to the gfs so far. Difference I see is the shortwave that will become our storm is a little faster on the euro so potentially less wave spacing so far.
