Bingo. Said this earlier in the other thread. It’s far too early - especially with so many pieces at play and such a dynamic setup - to be worrying about a particular runs surface look on day 6; worrying about p-type and clown maps is ill advised.

For me… what I took out of today is that a clear trend has been set for a significant coastal storm, instead of a far southern slider. Now we let the storm get into the euro and king (new) gfs’s wheelhouse and iron out things like spacing / location of features, storm track, strength of storm, over the next 2 or so days before we get too excited / worried. When have we ever wanted to be in the jackpot day 5/6 anyhow!?
Thank you for your calming words and of course, all of the knowledge you share here. You, PSU, Bob Chill, and several others here are invaluable to this forum.
