if you're on the se side, start sweating a little.  if you're on the nw fringe, relax a bit.... in the middle, get the whiskey shots ready!

 

yea I saw that too....further nw than the op.....horrible sign.   

 

Don't want to punt yet but I'm much less excited than 24 hours ago. Lock in the Canadian and I'm happy, although if that shifts west 50 miles we get dry slotted and/or mixed precip.

 

2nd down, CFL rules. Need a 12Z ECMWF hail Mary right now.
