That one looks dead in the water. It may revive tomorrow but...

The high that streched from the Arctic to very near the tropics shown

seems to have split.

Probably why we had another Mag 6. Meanwhile the loop still continues
to exist only now instead of running across Canada it is curving along
the western coast and extending out to sea in the Pacific.

Meanwhile there is still a system of hight pressure areas all over
Canada. Pity I don't know if this is normal behaviour for the
continent this time of year. Maybe the equivalent of the Scandi-High?

I wouldn't doubt it for a moment except for the strange plot off
Scandinavia with a low coming from out in the Atlantic and bypassing
the one that was stationed off the Norwegian coast all this spell.

It looks like it is joining up:

They are the same pressure now. It is a little odd.
