So damn close to a capture. And this is what i keep reiterating. That phase is a hair late then we get this (ICON). But a capture, then those places on the fringe go from nuisance/secs to mid/high end mecs in a blink.
Ok, you made the earliest storm thread ever and it might happen. Please don't jinx yourself. You are sitting high beside the throne right now with @psuhoffmanin the king seat. Enjoy it. This may be your americanwx crowning/defining moment.
H5 is eerily similar. That was a massive storm....eta: the southern energy just escaped. We didn't have the same sort of blocking as next week to force out tpv or a lobe of it South either as projected. Similarities but also differences on the positive side as of this hour.
