I still have my doubts RE moderate.
I also question how much more unfavorable the euro got due to just a slight increase in la nina intensity bc the structure was largely unchanged. I anticipated seeing that it had gone modoki when I saw the H5 and 2m charts, but not the case...still basin wide. I think quidance jumped the gun a bit here. Caveat being we will need to watch it closely over the next month bc its def shifted modoki in real time at present.
