This enhanced convection over the WPAC/dateline is typically associated with +TNH/western ridging.
I’m honestly surprised it isn’t more pronounced on guidance. The drier pattern is manifesting as expected, but the mean ridge axis is farther west than you would climatologically expect.
The reason for that is probably related to the enhanced Indian Ocean convection (which is likely to be the dominant low frequency signal this summer). But until subsidence returns to the dateline (and it will), the drier PNW pattern is likely to continue.

Here is a really cool site. Puts nearly 30,000 weather stations across the globe on a map to easily view the climate averages in almost any area. Also offers the option to filter stations in a manner similar to SC-ACIS.
As would I.
Sure, Stein was a factor. The DNC reaction is to throw a tantrum about how unfair it was that she was. Ditto for the Electoral College.
Well, news flash: the world is not always fair. The DNC’s job is to win elections. Not some hypothetical perfect elections they might wish existed, but the messy, real-world, flawed elections that actually do exist. The ones where third parties act as spoilers. The ones with an Electoral College that makes it possible for a candidate to lose the popular vote yet still win the White House. The ones where depressingly many voters are low-information voters.
They are very good at lecturing their critics from a condescending position of faux superiority. If only they were as smart and as skilled as they seem to think they are. Their track record isn’t actually stellar. The whole Hillary ’16 fiasco is a prime exemplar of this.
