UNISYS Water Vapor Satellite of North and West Hemisphere
The system was heading west until the past six hours. It is stalling and joining the heat transfer system in the Atlantic from the East Pacific. It is oscillating with the energy off the Atlantic system.

It looks like there is some real trouble coming.
The heat transfer system in northwest Canada
over the Yukon, it is being absorbed by the vortex
over the northwest USA. That vortex is gaining
velocity with added water vapor. That Canadian
system is mixed in it's temperatures as well. I was looking at the heat distribution over the Yukon and it isn't uniform. The extreme was the city of Old Crow with a temperature of -6 centigrade about 10 AM this morning to 5 centigrade above zero at Carmacks at the same time only to return to a -3 centigrade in Watson Lake. The circulating winds around the center of the vortex was providing significant differences in temperature within the system which provides more turbulence.
