The lean is almost entirely on the SW side of the envelope of solutions

GEFS should follow suit with the op run, to no surprise. Through hr48 already slower and the trough is lifting out/less interaction with Lee

That was a huge shift SW on the GFS, will be super interesting to see the ensemble members

I wouldn't even want to get hit by whatever Lee is right now. Looks like crap

There are some big time western members on the 0z GEFS. Legit one tries to skirt North Carolina. Can't call anything a trend yet with regards to MSLP position really, but you can sure see the ridge over far eastern Canada (around Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, etc) trending stronger on the GEFS each subsequent run. Will be interested to see the spaghetti tracks for the ensembles Also to note, some of the more southwest ensemble members are there because of timing differences. There's a few members that get Lee essentially "stuck" in the northern Bahamas until the ridge moves out and it goes OTS. So a more W or SW member doesn't necessarily equate to a NE hit.

And the GEFS have quite a strong SW lean down in the Bahamas compared to the 18z run previously

The biggest takeaway from that GFS run for me wasn't the impact location, per say. But rather we didn't see that bend/recurve OTS once past Hatteras latitude. Instead, it trucks on due north into eastern New England, similar to the Euro which moved straight north. So as you alluded to, that ridge and trough duo as currently modeled squeezes this thing due north. If you really want a strong New England impact, you'd want this trough to capture Lee, even if it's slightly, to pull it *just* a bit on a NW heading. But you take what you can get. I think y'all all know what's at stake here, and what's the likely outcome. I don't even live on the east coast anymore, but this is still an intriguing situation to follow and I'll be watching along

Say what you will, that was obviously the best looking GFS run in quite a few cycles if you're looking for a hit. Verbatim eastern Maine gets a good impact, as the extratropical transition would expand the leaf and winds on the western side

Reed Timmer and a few others are in Cedar Key still. I'd hope they get out while they can. 12-16 foot surge won't be survivable
