@Ruin I was not trying to be rude or unkind to you the past few days. I apologize if I came off that way. We all have and should express our thoughts and opinions, that's why we're here. (Or fishing in the Gulf) I was as adamant as I was simply because of science. If warm air aloft has an outlet, and it was quite clear the past few days that it did...well, it just doesn't matter how cold or how fresh an airmass is...it's going to lose out to that warm air intrusion. Just the way it is.
Once it became obvious we were Miller B'n we needed the OV low to die farther south than it was modeled to do so.
