It appears models are still having a hard time and that's probably due to the unusual trajectory of this system. I can't recall off the top of my head a system developing right along the California coast and rocketing northward up the Oregon Coast. The fact we're less than 36 hours away and still do not yet have a consensus among all models is probably due to that.

lol still no closer to a solution.

Regular Euro looks similar to the 18z, bit west of the 00z but not a windstorm
