Where is the Bermuda High?
Recently we’ve had a big ridge out in the western U.S., and that typically leads to a trough of low pressure somewhere in the east. Outside a brief buildup in early June we have not seen any real prolonged Bermuda or southeast ridge.
There are some indications that we start seeing more ridging in the east by mid-late month, but quite likely too late to help (if it could at all) move this system to close to the U.S.
Even in prime Cape Verde season storms that form this far east are difficult to get to the mainland U.S. It is probably at least a sign we are going to go deep into the alphabet this season though.
Some really good.... never mind.
