Euro missed the trough coming through this week/weekend during the same medium range period over a week ago. GFS had it all along, but maybe this time the Euro is right??? I've noticed the model has issues handling the ridges near NW NAMER, maybe it is a feedback problem due to the warm waters in the NE PAC. JMA Weeklies came in today and they have a trough centered over the Plains Week 1, then over the Lakes Week 2....Ridging and warmth along the West Coast/NW NAMER.
