Unfortunately, PR plays a role in all of this. The biggest thing that would concern me is that the Euro still insist on a solution that would keep Baton Rouge dry. Also, Baton Rouge is on the NW edge of the best precipitation for the GFS. It wouldn't take a huge change to keep Baton Rouge cold and dry. Then everyone is pointing their fingers laughing when nothing happens. Once again, glad I don't get paid to produce forecast
