Cuurent SST anomalies and 7 day change. Circled, 3 key areas to watch for winter hints. Uncircled but also important, dateline 30-40N cool pool. The warm anomaly there, modiki nino look with cooler waters southeast seaboard vs PNW. That favors a western ridge, eastern trough as the predominant pattern. It also can initially lead to a fast west to east flow early season that inhibits cold surges, but when they come, they come full steam ahead. This is July however, and these features will shift, adjust. How they do, will affect the pattern setup.
