After the 5th I think the ridge placement on the mean looks good. Granted GFS has it more girthy into the Plains, but after the 7-8 that changes too. That’s not a suppression look. Could the PV come south and squash? Maybe? But man I’ll take that look any day over the garbage we have had since 2011 aside from a week or two here or there.
If you have a shot, best area probably Princeton northward on east side of ORH hills and above 1K. Just seems like maximizing lift could help cool boundary layer in such a marginal atmosphere.
