Regardless of path the GFS hasn't been as eager to throw heavier QPF into the cold sector in comparison to the EURO.

 

 

Agreed.  Keep waiting for the GFS to show something really impressive but it's been somewhat tame run after run.

I wonder which will blink first, I have to imagine the GFS does considering the amount of moisture and the flow coming all the way in from the Caribbean.

pretty easy to imagine how the QPF could be underdone. As long as we see the cold solutions pickup some support, i'm happy.

 

I'd think the Euro and NAM will handle the rapid cyclogenesis better if/when we get to that point too which could be playing a role on QPF amounts as well.

The globals (including the 00Z GFS) are clearly trying to deal with the massive latent heat/convective processes going on with this system. The jumpy and strung out pressure pattern it is spitting out are a result of this. One needs to take a grain of salt with these tracks as a consequence. We can't realistically expect a model to be able to deal with this sort of thing accurately (especially at this time range). It's not uncommon for the convective parameterization scheme of a model to cause it to behave in this manner.
