Day 10-15 on the 12z EPS. That’s a pretty strong signal for a NPAC high and troughing along the west coast.

Looks like a pretty classic GOA ridge evolution.

Flat ridging off the west coast retrograding/merging with a ridge moving east across the north pacific and quickly amplifying into a broad/poleward block. Hopefully we see this trend continue in future runs...

Yeah honestly, it's not a perfect setup yet but if that trend continues, there is serious potential.
