Opera is playing the fool at the moment so I can't show you the
picture on here yet.

There is going to be an whole series of them on the above site.
Here:

As it happens although I have only imagined they exist until just now;
it turns out I already know what they do.
Blocking Highs signal massive earthquakes. Blocking lows signal...
Well, see it for yourselves:

With an anticyclone spell due and especially if that goes pear shaped,
things could wind up well.
Remember folks, you heard it here first.
You all come back now you Hera.
There are 6 active systems as of 27 Sep, 2011 23:42 GMT

It might be worth checking out Eric Habich's site too:

Now to see if I can locate the other blocking lows for a bit of
climatologigation.
You never know.
Desultory affairs neath the ground atmosphecal ones unbound.
Rex someone or other defined the:
Rex Block... a blocking pattern that occurs along or near the West
Coast of the United States.
With two adjacent highs and lows, the most impressive will have a
strong low pressure next to a strong high pressure. (That figures, was
he promoted for that?)
The high pressure will be located in a generally north direction from
the low pressure. The low associated with the Rex Block is not
completely cut-off from the upper level flow, but does have little
east-west movement.
Strong ridging north of the low causes the airflow to move from high
latitudes to low latitudes with little comparable west-east movement
of the air. The airflow pattern follows a backward "S" trajectory. In
the example image, air flowing into the West Coast of Canada then
flows south into the Pacific off the Mexican West Coast. Once the flow
leaves the Rex Block, it can finally make some significant progress to
the east. An example diagram of the Rex Block is shown:

[I wonder how he missed the relationship with N/S systems and tornadic
cells.
I suppose it takes all sorts.]
*******
The Omega Block = L-H-L.
Air over the Southwest U.S. is forced to the north into Canada and
then back south into the Southeast U.S. by the huge high-pressure
ridge in the center of the country. The high pressure covers such a
broad latitude that the west to east air flow has difficulty going
around the high.
[Why doesn't it just go TO the high?]
...The region under the omega block experiences dry weather and light
wind for an extended period of time while rain and clouds are common
in association with the two troughs on either side of the omega block.
Omega blocks make forecasting easier since you can pinpoint areas that
will be dominated by dry or rainy weather for several days. The right
side of the omega block will have below normal temperatures (due to
CAA) while the region to the left will have above normal temperatures
(due to WAA.)
How's that work out weatherwise ? Doesn't happen every fall. Still
transverse fault season.
I may have missed something.I'm trying to get time to write this down.
Interesting that predicting was too slow for USGS reality. I would
predict then lookit the map....already happened.
I was camped on a cliff when the last Vancouver quake went off, cliff
in Washington off US 12 went up sideays and down again. On a drive up
to Cle Elum checking water levels for canoeing the Yakima, road
surface over a wet area at the Teanaway River was quake cracked, not 3
days earlier.
Road quakes are excellent evidence. Fun. bump bump bump...
Ah. Thank you for explaining. I was wondering.
