Strangest things tend to happen with significant -NAO blocking which we have. GFS too progressive. Ukie seems like a worst case based on climo.
 

12z Ukie/GFS 50/50 blend seems fair for a baseline case right now IMO.

Good point. Can’t underestimate the NAO block here which is unseasonably strong

Watch ... this will be the Euro run that destroys ISP to Keene with 100 mph event entry ending in 20" of stall rains  ... .everyone's mood swarms like yellow-jacket's nest poked with Molly,

    ... only to have all the models then consensus on a track 30 Mi E of ACK -  wah wah wahhhh

Heh... I was just musing to self, "Weird - the 12z NAM solution looks like a blend between the UK/GFS and may be right)

The NAM?!   That's just not allowed man.  That's how we know this thing's doing something that no model has yet depicted - anything to prevent the NAM from being right.

Interesting so far. Like I was saying earlier, it looked like it was decoupling under the shear but that process stopped on visible. Recon is finding the center deeper within the convection. It'll probably have a strong tilt, but it's not separated from the data we have so far. 

Center is a little weaker than estimates though. Not sure what they'll find deeper within the convection.

Beautiful out there now ...

That heavy rains pushed off and we're sort of left in this tropical bath with splashes of sun and interesting cloud-scapes.  It's not 'hot' yet, so it's really kind of soothing.  Fred's guts -

In a symbolic way it's kind of like it laid a foundation perhaps -
