Okay so the Euro was a southern outlier and has not much support from ensembles?
I thought this Euro run was wonky anyway and should have phased. The HP is pretty darn far east and extends down the coast. It's not easy for something to slip OTS in this pattern.
GFS and CMC both had more reasonable looking outcomes.
I'm fine with this run.
It's an OTS track that could be easily avoided by slower troff with higher heights ahead of it. A shift that almost always happens inside 72hrs.
UKMET is good, but ICON is the top seed for 12z so far.
Gotta give it some bonus points too for pulling the surface low back down from Long Island to Cape May.
You are forgetting the perfectly timed NS system over the Dakotas. That's going to yank it back into the coast and create a stalemate tug of war. Probably crawls from VA to ME over the following 48hrs.
Insane run of the gfs para. It's a March 58 look alike on the 500 maps. Only difference is the a initial surface low in the Midwest. After that the blocking scheme and the evolution of the troff through it are very similar.
The ridge retrograding from GA to TX between 60 and 78 is brutal Usually it's impossible for us to get rid of SE ridges. I don't know what to believe anymore.
