it's rather transient, though... by the time you get into that pattern, the Aleutian low is already taking shape and will raise heights over the WC and AK. the transition happens quickly on the weeklies, and this favorable Aleutian Low pattern remains through February as HL blocking reloads
so, yes, we will relax, but it won't be for very long. tropical forcing is flying through the unfavorable phases on all ensembles
