With the obvious caveats (It's October and ssts can and will change, other things such as MJO etc. can drive the winter pattern more than other factors, etc.) aside, I don't particularly hate the current SST anomaly configuration in the northeastern Pacific (165W-120W).
Tomorrow loosely reminds me of a poor man's June 16, 2008 and July 27, 2014 when looking at the trough and SLP track. Should current trends hold, I wouldn't be too surprised to see a smaller SLGT show up somewhere in the region or nearby.
Very great write up as usual showmet- eh actually I might've worn out that joke.
In case anyone gets confused he meant to say 98L for the MH possibility.
