Yeah could be...if the models don't start expanding back out way by lunchtime tomorrow, us back out west might be toasted. 

I think the track is pretty baked in at this point imo. We need to root for earlier phasing or just an undermodeled precip shield.

I’d be curious to hear the chatter in the room when making this because not a single ounce of guidance supports this west of 77.

I think we have to be careful about saying “Not a single ounce of guidance supports this”. Our NWS GSP Mets are pretty good at their jobs, and they have them for a reason. Just because we don’t see the guidance that supports such a map, doesn’t mean that they don’t see things differently. Granted, this map will continue to be updated, and it could go down or up in the days to come.

I tend to agree with you here, and this is what I think the NWS GSP mets may be betting on (for some reason). They must feel the chances for a phase or a more extensive precip shield are higher than what we see from direct model output.

For sure. I have a ton of respect for GSP - that’s why I said I would like to have heard some of those conversations that led to the decision given the guidance - wasn’t questioning their thought’s themselves. Would’ve been nice to be a fly on the wall as a weather nerd.

I meant in accuracy SREF is awful.

I can say a lot of times for HKY the amount of precip in a rain storm has been pretty spot on. I've compared it to my rain gauge many times and it's been with-in a tenth of an inch. So maybe as far as storm QPF it's not too terrible from my personal experience.
