That’s a boatload of QPF. Storm has been juicing up nicely given a real low amplifying northward in association with the arctic front. Precip blossoming further south and a more mature system when it gets to our latitude. Like what I’m seeing. I also think given that the precip max would be wider than what the GGEM has here
I think it’s an earlier development, and maturity of the low along the arctic front that helps. Before, it was a “pop up” hit and run on a lot of the models.
100%, it’s tough to model this thing. The way to win is definitely blowing up the wave along the arctic front. Hope the Canadian models can keep trucking. Usually the “on hours” of the ICON runs show 2-4 lol
