Yeah it is to do with the global wave pattern, I believe the higher the number of waves the more progressive the pattern, so for example you won't be stuck under the same trough for too long, vice versa. A 3-4 wave pattern (the lower number is pretty rare I believe) is a much slower pattern that is mor prone to holding solid.
ps, don't expect any long spells of WNW motion once it does gain latitude, once its at 27-30N, will probably only gain a few degrees more longtitude in the expected pattern aloft...of course that could end up being enough anyway.
