You really must be, it's not even close to what 12z was. I'd take a breather and get some sleep. Leave it for the rest of the folks here to do model runs, Yoda needs a call in from the bench. Ji is a pain in the ass but he's kinda right.
Yeah its not even gonna be close for us, just keeping it real versus the "better, way better, quite a bit better" which has no quantitative meaning...especially when comparing to one of the worst runs we've seen of the past few days.
18z RGEM & GGEM (yes it runs at 18z) both have the energy held back quite a bit more than their prior runs and unfortunately took that step back from 12z
Don't love the evolution and the reduced phasing/digging. Gives some credence to what the op just did. Not UKMET bad, but a step back. Expect we might see 2 camps.
Yeah, now its almost too far west. Started too far east, now that energy as you mentioned is pumping it up causing the flat heights out in front as well.
