Not changing mine at all.................For one that would indicate a huge ridge there and as most know when that happens you end up with a trough farther south and east...........(Midwest/NE)...........(Which btw is about to happen this week comming up).....................To be honest this is pretty much on par with my winter outlook which does show AK having some above normal temps............

Either way expect it to even cool down there some this week!
Take that to the bank! LOL

Thanks for the replies gentlemen!! You have passed the test!!!hehehehe! J/K!!

In otherwords an even stronger trough coming in behind that ridge?? Are we setting up for Indian summer going right into an early winter pattern?
