Typically I would say yes given precedent. However, in these marginal cases I have seen the off hour models pick up on the trend first that leads to a different outcome. 12Z models will be interesting.
Op Euro is going the wrong way for several runs now. It would be surprising, very surprising if the GFS were to beat the Euro at this range. This is really a day 3 modeling deal...we will know by day 3 if there is enough spacing between the digging trough and the southern wave.
