Yes absolutely. We need the coastal to form and cut off the SE winds at 850 as soon as possible. The earlier we do that, the more people win. Another 50 mile pump east would help too.
Yea...the NAM only leads up to disaster. I'm REALLY hoping the NAM is wrong but man it's hard to ignore. @PhineasC talked about how we can sometimes get a rouge SE bump by like 25 - 50 miles and brother do we need it now more than ever.
I have tropical tidbits up and the 0 degree isotherm at 850 straddles I-95 and I-95 never gets above -4 at 700mb which would imply rimmed snow or ice pellets. It isn't shoved west like 00z or 06z. This is definitely an improvement. I REALLY hope the NAM is wrong, but it's scored some big coups on thermals in the past.
NAM seems to be incredibly aggressive with shoving plain rain up into even THV/LNS. Probably going to be some mixing issues along Mason/Dixon but I can't see how that verifies. It's the warmest of all solutions by a long shot.
