This is not a 2018 look. SE ridge would likely correct stronger. At best you can get a gradient pattern.

Expand Yes things have warmed considerably since then. Looks like an east based -NAO too with a neutral PNA.

Expand If we get a west based block I'd lean maybe more 2018 as I'm not buying those heights off the west coast from 1956. But either way, it's weenie talk because I don't expect those outcomes.
