No. The energy is hanging back in the SW messing up the phase. So the storm doesn't get a chance to amplify on the east coast. Heights stay flatter in the east and everything happens too late. If at all. We want the energy in the SW to be more progressive. We're going the other direction right now with that feature.
This is what happens when the vort digs into the SW too much. It messes up the phase. Everything becomes more progressive. That could ruin this whole thing. Northern stream is ready to play ball. But it can't do it all alone.
Still a lot of spread for my liking. But you can see a lot of them show something similar to the op. With different placements. Hopefully we can narrow this down more through the day in a favorable direction.
I'm not going to be confident about anything with this sucker until I'm watching radar. We need to keep watching future model runs. Trends today will be important.
Here's a couple probability maps from the 00z eps run. 6+ and 12+
Still a couple days of model runs left... little confidence how this exactly plays out yet.
