Many models had shown an inch or more of rain would fall, but it underperformed here as usual with only 0.35". I'm finally up to a little over 2.60" so far this month. I've seen many wetter Novembers, but at least we're getting decent amounts, and the drought is nearly gone.

GFS is more like the Euro with the Friday storm now, stronger than previous runs

^^^ That's roughly one millibar of deepening every fifteen minutes. To see that in a midlatitude cyclone implies some pretty zany large scale rising motion. The dynamics on this storm are pretty much mathematically idealized. Sitting in the exit region of a 150kt jet streak. Low level jet of 90-100kt with temperatures differing nearly 20C across the baroclinic region. Vorticity pretty much idealized with two huge blocking highs torqueing Arctic air around a cutoff gyre. All the energy you could ever ask for in such a cyclone. I'm sure someone who knows more than me about midlatitude cyclone development could explain in much more romanticized terms.... Where's Wolf Read when you need him???
