Its elongated due to the dual low structure, If we can get that to consolidate more going forward this will come more west then pronged, It looked better on the 18z Euro @H5 this run, Now we need to hold it or improve from here.
I think you will find a stronger vortmax is going to dig south too, It probably would not hurt if we could start the process a bit north and west of where it is now to tilt the trough more negative sooner.
Just was going to post that until i just saw this, But i agree, We need to wait a couple more days at the very least for this to show its hand, It could end up being at least an eastern special.
