These should have been the runs with the complete NOAA info?

Looks like the models are more in line with the current forecast track.

Looks like that ridge will build right back in anyways.

Yes, if those are taking the NOAA flight obs into account, that is certainly good news.... :D

I do have a question, tho .... the NHC keeps talking about this shortwave trough weakening the ridge and possibly letting Em get a little further north. Would the obs NOAA made yesterday give these models a better handle on that event (how big the weakness will be, when it will come, how long it will take for the ridge to build back strongly enough to move Em due west), or do we still have to wait and see about that?

Yeah, I was kind of taking this "good" news with a grain of salt as well. Even if these models ARE taking the NOAA flight recon into account, they are only factoring in CURRENT conditions. The trough could change these conditions. So I wouldn't breath too big a sigh of relief just yet.
