Just getting caught up. I agree with Tip. The 18z GFS/GEFS were a dramatic continuity shift from their 12z run. I'd wait to see what the 00z GFS/GEFS do before altering any ideas of the storm. The 18z EURO/EPS were less drastic and lend more credence right now but that can change in 6hrs. There is nothing to really hang on this far out other than watching the runs rolls in. Gotta wait another couple days to see how things look. Confidence is still high for a storm from what I see right now. I'd still be leery of a hugger given the southern origins and how we know they play out. Having a track over or S and E of the BM isn't a bad thing for a lot of the subforum.
Yeah, that's why I posted earlier about the Euro about to go boom. You could just see it unfolding with the sharp trough with the s/w diving in on the backside. That thing went apeshit in no time. The ideal solution for eastern areas.
I agree with this logic. Result on western edge of this could leave a lot of people looking at white rain.
I'd personally like to see the Ensm mean outside the BM on a S-N trajectory right now.
