I never saw the whiff either, Just needed to make sure that vort stayed amped as it rounded the base of the trough, I only kept seeing the less then favorable track for us up here with the convection tugging this east, If we can get that reconciled and handled like the GFS is handling it at 18z, There will be surprises further north, That was the best run in about 10 cycles or so up here on the GFS, But were close to kissing the fronto band as this wraps up a hair or two sooner and gets a tic or two west, Its only about 20-30 miles.
