In some ways, it did. H5&h7 axis are a few miles north, which we’d want to see go the other way.
But, the low is in a similar position as 12z and more amped sooner with a 987 on DE coast. If this storm was 6 hours slower with that same evolution, it would be 6”+ M/D like north.
there was a formidable ccb on 18z. If we can get the gfs a bit south like some of the other models at that intensity, it’ll show a primo outcome for most
