How do I get the local path to an Active Storage Blob?

I built my Rails app and figured I would use Active Storage (AS). I then realized that AS dumps all your files into your storage root. I need to segregate that between clients and also I would rather organize these on a model basis etc. Carrierwave (CW) can do this out of the box. I am going to build a rake task to migrate these old attachments over.

The AS blob key is the filename stored locally except on my local machine its stored like this:

/storage/HR/mw/HRmWZZNk4wd7dD1nt9iUbi1n

and on my S3 compatible store:

/HRmWZZNk4wd7dD1nt9iUbi1n

There seems to be no built-in method to return the local path of an AS file (which CW has). I know I can on the fly build the local path but looking to see if I am missing something obvious here.
