Steering Flow

This was buried in another thread but is definately worth it's own topic:

Hey...here's something to look at from the good folks at CIMMS.

Note the steering flow now:

Note it 6 hours ago:

Now...note it 12 hours ago:

From each frame...the isotacs (I guess that's what thery are since it's wind analysis) get more and more spread out from 12 hours ago to now.

The flow IS breaking down...the analysis shows it. And it will result in more poleward movement tomorrow.
