I think it could break positive if the mean trough is more over the lakes. It’s not overly torchy or anything though.

Lets get that trough to the west and a high to the northeast of us and bring up that GFS cane! I'll take warmer weather and  higher dews to pull something like that off

Lean-to at Big Dear next week Monday-Thursday.  I was hoping to get an on-water lean-too at Ricker Pond but waited too long to make the reservation.

Wow, what a find.  Absolutely the quietest place I’ve ever been.  Dead silent at night.  I recommend.

There was no cellular data at the campsite unless it was between midnight and 6:00 am so I didn't get to post during, but did want to post a couple of photos I got from the trip:

Hiking up Washington (with my "adult" children) from Lakes of the Clouds:

Fox lean-to in Big Deer State Park.  Vermont has the best lean-tos, hands down.  Glad we had it too, it rained 2 of the 3 nights we were camping, and one of them was a full on thunderstorm with at least an inch of heavy rain:

So wait. The RRFS is known to have “bugs” with the FV3 core and it can’t be fixed until 2028, but we’re retiring the NAM soon anyway? 

Sounds about right lol. I honestly don’t know the exact details. Maybe @vortex95 does
