Today's SOI is another negative at -8.46. Nothing earth shattering but if the gefs is correct this looks to continue and possibly some bigger neg values are on the way in the not to distant future. GEFS also indicating a phase 7/8 precip pattern in the PAC. If correct, we should see the LR start to hone in on a better PAC look I would think. Though, admittedly, I dont know how the IOD and the preip in the western IO will affect/mute this...if at all.
