THE DISAPPEARING ATLANTIC RIDGE

[mobilebay]

i dont mean a tropical low. thats one huge trough where the bermuda high should be. june sets the pattern for summer. this may well indicate a very weak bermuda high this year

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't this the same crap we heard last year.

The subtropical high is still there. Yes, there is a mid-Atlantic occluded low, but that happens. We're still transitioning to a summer pattern. I still wouldn't say the subtropical ridge is weak.

I'm with Senor on this one as he elglantly states above.

The high is there, this from NWS MIA "HIGH PRESSURE WAS OVER THE NORTHWEST ATLANTIC WATERS EARLY THIS
MORNING. THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL ALSO REMAIN OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC
WATERS THROUGH FRIDAY.

This from melbourne "BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE ATLANTIC. EARLY NEXT WEEK HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXTEND FROM THE MID ATLC REGION
SOUTH TO THE PENINSULA."


I am not sure where this talk about weak ridges and all that is coming from especially with our sytem heading N than NW. Folks on the east coast florida should be real happy we don't have a long runner coming from the east with the setup we have now and into the middle part of next week, at least.

With the projected track of Arlene, it looks like a fairly typical summer pattern for the eastern seaboard now through this weekend with hazy sunshine, some patches of morning fog, and afternoon and evening diurnal thunderstorms, just the hit and miss variety. What you see now is what you should get used to for the next severa days along the eastern seaboard.

It doesn't matter. We're coming out of a pulse that culminated in a trof split. As SP said, we're in a transitional period anyway, but the NAO is heading positive then going back south again. And we'll see how the summer shapes up after that (I'm guessing a mean trof pulsing from the Hudson Valley to the Western Lakes or between 83ish-95W this season). High tide coming into the pattern had it around Minnesota/Wisconsin.
