Is this the same NOAA that predicted a cold November and December, a few months ago?

Coupla pics from the approach into PDX earlier this evening.

So I can't find any explicit skill data for Project Eagle/AIGFS yet, but NOAA's press release did say that the AI GFS "extends forecast skill by 18-24 hours". So I would very broadly interpret that to mean that you can assume that AIGFS on day 8 will be roughly comparable to the GFS on day 7 when it comes to accuracy. So very approximately I think that would make the AIGFS roughly on par with the Euro in skill score? Now I want to get my hands on the Hybrid AI/Traditional GEFS I've seen some rumblings about, since apparently that blows both the traditional and AIGFS out of the water. We are so lucky to have so many new, high performing models to play with right now.
