THROUGH THE NEXT 3 DAYS, THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO
FEATURE TROUGHING OVER THE WESTERN U.S. WITH A PERSISTENT RIDGE
ANCHORED OVER THE SOUTHEAST U.S. BY THE END OF DAY 3, THE TROUGH
AXIS MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS. THE DETERMINISTIC
MODEL HEIGHTS AT 500 MB ARE TIGHTLY CLUSTERED AND WELL WITHIN THE
ENSEMBLE MEANS. THE MODEL PREFERENCE AND BLENDS WILL BE ANCHORED
BY GREATER WEIGHT PLACED ON THE ENSEMBLE MEANS, SPECIFICALLY THE
ECMWF ENSEMBLE AND GEFS ENSEMBLE. THESE WERE ALSO USED TO TREND
THE TIMING OF THE RAINFALL ASSOCIATED WITH TROPICAL DEPRESSION
