5 hours a head of you all, over here in London. My God I went to bed after the 18Z came out and I thought it was seriously game on. Then woke up this morning to the 0Z and felt the deflation in my bits, just back from my work and now it looks better. Jeez.
It is Thursday morn and there are still 2.5 model cycles to see a significant push west, before the risk of messenger ticks. When we first started tracking this, it was a beast. In the last few days it has gone up and down. Sometimes the coarser resolution of the long range early takes actually come back to be close to the truth in the end. Seems possible here given that every mini-trend to move it east has been countered. A strong storm = more chance to create ridging, tuck in and stall. If that happens we all win, and I think its a real possibility.
