Initially, thought it was just a timing thing but by 54 you can see the ul wave is not as amped up. Sfc low is weaker as well.

 

You would think with the shortwave being a bit slower and the heights being a tad higher, we would have saw a somewhat stronger solution from the 12z NAM.

 

But between the retrograding crap in canada and a relatively unimpressive southern stream wave, the other variables just weren't enough to get the job done.

yeah...maybe in between last night's 00Z and today's 12Z runs somewhere....SE ridge as a little more beef to it compared to the 12Z as well thru H22

 

With the PNA back in it's negative phase we should start seeing a little more se ridging which the models might not be seeing yet. There is no -nao block either.

9 out of 10 times nw shifts happen with a -PNA/+NAO and se a bit when it involves a +PNA. No guarantee it happens but if there was a time for one this would be it.

Today/tonight's system is probably what ultimately ****s everything up for us. It wasn't even modeled a couple days ago, which is probably why the models had more amped/NW solutions with the 4th-5th storm that they do now, as the heights with the SE ridge had more room to breath/rise.
