I see your concern about the lower heights near Bering Strait/Chukchi, but I am not too worried at this point as there is still some ridging over western Canada, and it seems this may be part of a pattern relax/reload. Now if we see those heights persist and lower, and we end up with a blue ball migrating towards the GOA, then there might be a problem. Looking at the strat panels on the Euro, the PV gets elongated but there is still a piece on our side. Verbatim on the EPS, surface temps are average to slightly above from the 20th to the 25th in the east, but if the developments in the NA are real, and the EPAC doesn't further deteriorate, we should see lower heights develop in the eastern US on future ens runs in response.
