The trough in AK is sort of before the 11-15 day and spills into it a bit, but the end of the run looks like the dateline ridging starts taking hold. That would likely lead to a more gradient look down the road.
Yeah agree. Still may be ok in the far interior I suppose. The mean sort of hinted at something interior around day 10. Luckily it’s not a total chinook.
Doesn’t look too bad yet as we have amplitude vs a massive 2011 trough from AK to Arizona. I think interior anyways has chances there. Barring it doesn’t get worse.
