It still could correct a tad, and I'm not holding out much hope here, but it would be nice if more of the board other than the picnic tables in nr VT to Moose dropping, Maine...could get in on some action.
I didn't see this mentioned, apologies if someone did, but the piece of the TPV (tropospheric polar vortex) is definitely pressing more into the area north of the Great Lakes. It appears that is helping to ever so flatten the flow a bit and force the second wave a tad SE.
Subtle s/w distinctions like shape and phasing mean a ton. But I wonder if that cold press formed by weak meso lows are getting into guidance and “adjusting” some low placements further south. Still can change, however.
