But it didn't. The original high decayed and lost identity, and a new
high formed to the south west. If you look at upper air charts for
the same period, then you can clearly see the upper features (that
drive the development and decay of the surface high) behaving in a
way that is conducive to (a) the in-situ high decaying from the
north, its centre drifting S or SSE and eventually losing its
identity; and (b) promoting development of a new high in mid
atlantic. Never forget that the atmosphere is multidimensional and
that the surface charts are only a reflection of what is happening
aloft.
