Does it seem like this clipper pivoted farther north? I think the NAM was farthest north 1-2 days out while the GFS/EURO AI was south if I remember correctly. Next time we track something like this down the road I'll have to keep that in mind. Wonder if it hits sub 990mb soon?

There is some cold air up North. Just hope we can tap into it soon

Maybe this would brighten your spirits!
