Definitely higher for the main storm system.
Several posts back I posted a Chicago metro sounding from during the heart of the storm on Thursday, showing a deep DGZ.
12z Euro is going to be wayyy north with the main storm.
Significant changes aloft in terms of trough organization/quality, ejection timing and ridging ahead of it.
12z GEM is a bit south with the overrunning event and is well south/weaker with the main storm (Ejecting trough is much more positive tilt/strung out/further south).
12z GFS coming in with a slightly different orientation for the overrunning event...It's a bit south for eastern areas and a bit north for western areas.
Differences in the 12z NAM start off at noise level early in the run, but increased quickly by mid-run.
Main storm is definitely jumping north on this run.
