These are fairly old 08Z but you I see what looks like an outer eye wall and moat beginning to form.

I think shes pushing against the high to the W.There seems to maybe be a weakness between the two highs over LA/MS.Someone correct me if I am wrong always looking to learn.

Looks like all the operational guidance is buying in to the idea of a stall inland. Not good at all from an inland flooding standpoint.

Also note, the NOGAPS which was well left of the consensus for a long time has (since 0Z last night) flipped to being a right outlier.

Look at this link, does it appear like the ridge is about to pinch off and seperate in central LA?

Last few frames have resumed NW track.
