Some ass hairs are bigger than others, let’s hope it’s a big one.

Digging Trough seems more west

[stormtracker]

Everybody in here sweating like a whore in church right now.

Flow is definitely backed more than 18z.  Not huge, but noticeable .  Nobody get excited.  Money panels coming

Woah!!!

[nj2va]

That stuff down in the Gulf area in LA/TX looks good

[stormtracker]

So far, looks like a bit of an improvement over 18z...still. not at the relevant panels yet tho.  I'd be careful about extrapolating.  But this doesn't seem bad so far
