It really looks nothing like the GFS, it leaves the southern stream behind and drops the polar vortex over Chicago.

Yes but it did trend towards the Gfs. It’s developing over us v northwest at least. But until it converges on the consensus it’s hard to take much away from it.

Yep. Not as deep and vort interaction was more disorganized. Another touchy setup.

Touchy is the word to describe just about every storm this winter. Subtle differences in the timing and interplay make big differences in the outcome. The nature of fast, progressive flow. 

On to 0z!

GFS actually caved a decent amount toward the 12z Euro.

We might be seeing the 100 hour convergence. It’s just not converging to the solution we want so some will cling to “it’s still x hours away”. 
 

It’s not done and every so often something crazy can happen. Nothing is certain. But as we cross the magic 100 hour threshold again it’s in the unlikely category.  Whenever we need the most extreme solution of all guidance to be right, I don’t care which model that is, it’s not likely. 90% of the time the reality is towards the middle of the spread of permutations not an extreme. We keep rooting for the most amplified or least amplified options and that’s not a winning strategy.

That’s what I’ve been saying. This is very delicate. It only takes small differences to make a big surface change.
