You're also applying recency bias to this whole discussion and assuming that's going to carry over for 4/25-28. IMO the character (and also background climatology) of this sequence is different, substantially so, than other events that have "underperformed" earlier this year. Already, the moisture quality for tomorrow looks much better than 4/15 in a similar area.
The other big factor that could really set Saturday off is the lack of influence from the sub-tropical jet, which is shunted southward by the passage of the first shortwave on Thursday/Friday. That likely removes a number of caveats that have affected other events this year detrimentally.
