The Gulf of Alaska pipeline is truly dead for us and we are just way too low of a latitude now for that sort of thing. Gotta be up in Smithers if you want a piece of that pie. I'm watching closely for tropical moisture potential this summer, Andrew. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't noticed some long range monsoonal and EPAC hurricane activity creeping up already on the Goofus. With the absolutely atomic Niño this year, the Pacific is basically turning into the Bay of Bengal. So we may very well have some nice southerly flow based opportunities coming later on. Probably lots of 65+ lows here by August. Monsoonal tap on the 12z with a dying hurricane riding up Baja.
