We haven’t been able to get a stable ridge out west and get a shortwave pipeline going. It lasts for a day and something always mucks it up. However we’ll get the cold because of the -WPO but we can’t sustain a better +PNA or even -EPO for that matter.
Yeah and I think that’s been engrained in our DNA….i know for me it has….but shit…nothing has worked out.
At least the other seasons just had garbage patterns/airmass which kind of made for easy predictions.
I’m wondering if part of the reason are these tendencies to get those ULLs moving west and elongating near and south of AK. It kills any ridging that allows for more prolonged meridional flow and introduces more interference.
It’s been real easy the last 4 years to call out stuff that isn’t favorable. This year it’s cold, but as many of us have said…there’s tons of interference. Easy to see.
