The 6z euro slowed down the shortwave behind the cold front. Euro Ai looks pretty similar at 144 and that spacing helped give us a decent scraper. Here was the Ai trend at H5 .
As always, GFS will be last to figure things out. I thought the 6z euro spaced the wave out better to allow for something to develop. Tough to say for sure though. Euro Ai continues to stay consistent. .
Once it’s inside 6 days lol. That run was a few ticks away from burying us with two events. All you can ask for is a chance. Most guidance is farther SE than the GFS showing for the 20th. .
20th time frame is gaining more steam. I thought initially we’d be delayed a few days to wait for the cold air, but the ridge out west has trended East, and things have sped up a bit. .
So the progression of things is starting to become more clear. Northern stream is cooperating. However, the wave (in my gif) here on the GFS near 4 corners we need it to be stronger and a bit slower than 18z is showing. Future runs root for more of a cmc type with that wave .
Yea it’s a lighter side hit, but if all the energy had come East, would have been like the cmc. It was close enough anyway at this range. We take for now .
