Another "end of the run" tease on the Gfs without an ending.

It breaks the DT rule with a closed 5H low west of the Mississippi.

End of Ggem run monster probably would be rain, but we'll never know.

Gfs has never worked.

Until ensemble patterns look good, ensemble snowfall is decent, and we have accompanying operational models showing a storm(s), THEN we have something. We actually had this at 12z with the Euro suite, but none of the others. There was a day when that was good enough, but we all know how horrid the latest version of the Euro can be as we may remember from last winter and it's days 8-12 teases. We need the Euro suite to hold in one fashion or another and the GFS & GEM suites to join with it. Then I'm legit psyched.

The kind of pattern that supports the operational storm.

Euro weeklies are still below or around normal, but have lost the AN precip during the 2nd period to a little BN unfortunately.

Eps really lit up.

4.0-8.0

Eps, as usual, are a miss tonthe north for the 8th/9th.

6z EuroAI likes the 10th-11th. We'll see how many more runs it can hold. Lol

Or maybe just regurgitating the Euro. Lol

I went over to TT and put the 5H anomalies in motion with the slid function. I looks like the lowest anomalies backed in from the east and not from west to east. Idk if it makes a difference, but I was expecting it to move from west to east. I'm not saying it's bad, because I don't know. Maybe a red tagger can chime in. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=eps&region=us&pkg=z500a&runtime=2025122800&fh=12

That looks great! But the issue I always have with the 5 day mean is how did it get to that mean as in what happened over the 5 day period to get all the players in the right spot.

6z was even better
