It’s not all bad imo. A surging ridge into Alaska and a trough east of Hawaii is an ideal look at this range. I’m wondering if we’re seeing some feedback issues… a lot of moving parts… windshield wiper effect. You’ve got a stout -NAO developing, a lot of active shortwaves embedded in the flow and a complete Pacific reshuffle commencing. I’m hard pressed to believe we’re even close to a final solution.
