It’s better to know the biases and weaknesses of each. Gfs has always had trouble with east coast cyclogenesis. Euro has amp bias and holding energy in the SW USA. But a basic rule of thumb is don’t lean on the outlier model.
I'm not sure. 24 hours on that path may not be terrible. Really it's impossible to really have an idea but that's not a lot of movement in 24 hours to me. Did it go up to the BM and turn further east? Impossible to know.
