Default GFS long term

Still consistency with gfs in that no zonality appears on the horizon,
although the detail is impossible at this stage with either a
northerly or an easterly? The one thing that is striking is that the
high it puts in the mid Atlantic seems to have no competition from any
lows coming out of the eastern States, in normal years it would have
been easily toppled from lows coming around the top of it.


Yes, looking at the GFS charts for the end of next week and
the following weekend you could easily be forgiven for
thinking the high would 'topple' and raging zonality would ensue.
But it doesn't happen (on the model at least!). 2 or 3 years
ago it almost ineviatably would.
