My nice guy comment was sarcastic.

Meanwhile the GEM has a solid blast of arctic air behind the system.

That would have been an epic snow event back in January when the temperatures were down to -10C. :wish: :wish: :wish:

I'm pretty sure I heard my tomato plants screaming.

Seriously. GFS has temps of +4 to 0 for lows. GEM has -2 to -6C perhaps in Pitt Meadows.

I think we will see the gfs start to trend stronger with the Friday system at some point. Although it might end up being a compromise with what the GEM is showing. I know the gem typically overdoes it with the cyclogenesis but it’s within 96hrs now and generally it’s pretty good in that range

Don't these lows usually trend north?

Edit: looks like Euro gets to be the tiebreaker again.

If the low is deepening as it approaches the coast then they generally trend to the north. If the system is weak or remains as an open wave then they are less likely to curve north.

What a beautiful track if this was a month later. The low does deepen slightly as it makes landfall, but not much.
