If it were ANY other model, I'd start to think about the notion of possibly getting excited.

12z Euro is pretty darn encouraging, first run in a while that show any rainfall of significance, definitely a wetter pattern in the 9-10 day window on that run, and Euro is the undisputed king when it comes to handeling upper air patterns
