In fact, there were all sorts of changes to the 500mb GFS model from the 06Z run to the 12Z run.

The trough isobars make about 30 miles less progress towards the coast. The wind barbs lost about 5 knots in strength. Bill slowed a bit; and made slightly more westward progress in the South - which extrapolated to a more westerly final track up north.

Overall, it was a noticeable change - but still not enough to cause a strike anywhere on the mainland U.S.

But it does serve notice - that model tracks 3, 4 and 5 days out - are not carved in stone.
