It supports the op, which has to be the case at this range, but yeah comparing the 2 runs, a little more clustering on the eastern edge at 6z. Not that much though. Could still see the next op run make a shift NW.
It has more to do with the proximity/strength of the developing coastal low and the resulting east winds. Cant really overcome that because we lose the surface up to 850. That's why the Euro solution is ideal. Ofc more snow goes hand in hand with the colder solution in this case.
Yup if the GFS makes a small adjustment our way and the EURO adjusts a bit further NW(expected) we should do ok. The thermals on the GFS and esp CMC are awful for here after the thump. I want to see that muted. I'm ok with the warmish 850s, but surface temps of 40 for hours is garbage.
I don't care much about amounts. I just want to be able to get out and enjoy it without having to worry about a rain soaked sloppy mess. I am rooting for the coldest solution.
