It's not easily to discern, but, the 'Andrea System' has a strongly established autonomy from the Arctic vortex although it still has a 'commuting relationship. What do I mean by that? The two systems still oscillate or 'push-pull' between each other. What is driving the 'Andrea System' south is the descending air masse from the north.
That northern air masse still has plenty of punch in the central continent so even though the 'Andrea System' is a record setter in being the earliest severe weather for hurricanes, it is not the whole ball of wax and those weather persons doing such a great job in keeping everyone, everywhere safe are most appreciated.
