IIRC the metro was doing the RNAV from the NW.
As for my time going in there regularly nearly 20 years ago, with no weather radar and TX around, I much preferred establishing in VMC underneath along the coast than being in IMC up high and running into a storm. I felt it safer given the limitations of the equipment I had (multi 6 seater IFR. No radar).
