Yeah that was a killer run of the Euro Control. It's doing exactly what we'd want to see in terms of wave evolution.....then it's just a matter of the exact track (latitude).
Iiterally everything we want to go right at H5 on the nam Is occurring, TPV, future 50/50, energy. let’s go !!

Those are 850s and in Celsius .

Even with this initial wave you can see it digging further to the SW and the trough digging further south in the short range. That’s the trend so far with these systems and it looks like we’re trending that way with this system as well. This has the makings to be a really big board hit if we keep these trends going.

ICON is up. Let’s see if we keep these great trends going.
How good is the NAM with features this far out. I know we generally don’t expect a lot of reliability from its surface maps until 48-60 hours out, but I think I’ve heard that it is good looking at H5 at the end of its run
Do we trust the ICON after two completely different runs?
No, it was really bad with last Mondays event.
Well unless it shows a foot of snow.

Not really. Really more of a measuring stick to see if it’s following other guidance or not.

Yeah, my bad I thought 2m when I saw it without reading!
It’s like the DGEX 2.0.

That is still the best model ever. When the models went to hell I could always fall back on a 35” DGEX run to lift my spirits.
I knew the 2004 storm was real when the NGM had it.

I remember it was the first to spot the rug pull last February. Gosh that was painful ? But it's so bad it was likely only right by accident.
Look still not ideal but better then 18z at least, TPV further southwest as well 
This model is literally running in circles

ICON looks to have trended somewhat better with surface temps
