If you go back and look at the 00z run from 1/22 of the Euro which was a huge hit, the kicker was way up in Central Canada and it was much slower to occlude.
All I will say is, that piece that becomes the kicker is currently over the NW Pacific Ocean, somewhere between Japan and the Aleutian Islands. I doubt the models have a good handle on it. It won’t even be on land (North America) until Friday.
