If the ridge stays firm, it goes farther east, not west. Ridges don't pull a storm toward them.
I thought due to the air flow of clockwise ridges with a counterclockwise low that it would pull it west if the ridge was
to its north. Thks, I didn't realize that it wouldn't steer the storm more northward.
