It's a double edged sword for sure, and depends on location (as always). For areas at the M/D like PSU & myself, we can have a more amped up solution, even with a primary getting up into the OV that is a QPF bomb (0z GFS like evolution & totals). We need the N/S interaction everywhere however for what he said re: tying in the colder air with that phased interaction. I traditionally don't love the weakened systems, but a SS wave is going to have the juice even as a bit de-amped system.
We'll definitely learn one way or another the next few hours what is still on the table as we get into the true mid range 4D leads today. These past few systems have been modeled well and consistently, and this is one we'd like to see the consistency stick. We'd take almost all current op solutions minus the GEM.
