Much colder GFS run but GGEM went significantly warmer. GEM was so cold at 12z that even the warmer 00z run is still a decent thump (esp over interior)…we’ll see if euro can cool more. It’s been the stubborn one despite cooling some at 12z.

The vort being very weak and sort of paralleling the coastline rather than moving out to sea is helpful. It doesn’t sweep the baroclinic zone well out to sea. Having the trailing shortwave play a role on almost every run now is good for setting a higher floor on this event. I think a total or near-total skunk job is becoming pretty unlikely. The key is now going to be if we realize the higher potential if we can get those two shortwaves optimal.

Yeah at 84h you basically have a bent back WF in the midlevels quasi-stalled near the south coast….inject that with the trailing vort and start rapidly deepening the ML center and ohhh boy….that’s how major positive busts are born. Check out 00z reggie too…kind of similar though not quite as perfect with the trailing vort.

NAM was prob gonna go apeshit the next frame with that potent vort trying to crash the party. That gonna be a feature to watch…if there’s going to be a decent swath of double digits, that trailer vort is likely the key. We’ve seen several model runs do it already. But as Tip and others mentioned, it’s still delicate…if the trailer vort doesn’t quite get it done or the timing is slightly off then it won’t work and you’re left with a good, but not major event.
