12Z FINAL MODEL EVALUATION WITH PREFERENCES AND CONFIDENCE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EASTERN U.S. STORM THROUGH FRIDAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PREFERENCE: GENERAL MODEL BLEND
CONFIDENCE: ABOVE AVERAGE
AN IMPRESSIVE AND DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND CLOSED LOW OVER THE
GREAT LAKES TODAY WILL KEEP AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN IN PLACE
THROUGH HALLOWEEN FOR THE EASTERN PART OF THE NATION. A STRONG
COLD FRONT TRAILING SOUTH FROM THE SURFACE LOW WILL CROSS THE
EASTERN U.S. AND REACH THE EAST COAST BY LATER THURSDAY NIGHT.
THE MODELS ARE NOW IN GOOD ENOUGH AGREEMENT TO MERIT A GENERAL
MODEL BLEND FOR THIS EVENT, AND NO CHANGES FROM THE INITIAL MODEL
ASSESSMENT.
BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW OVER THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN U.S. THIS WEEKEND
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PREFERENCE: NON-NAM BLEND BEYOND 36 HOURS
CONFIDENCE: ABOVE AVERAGE
THE NEXT UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SETTLES SOUTHWARD FROM WESTERN CANADA
AND ENCOMPASSES MUCH OF THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN PLAINS BY FRIDAY.
BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW FROM THE DEEP SOUTH TO THE GREAT LAKES WILL BE
IN PLACE BY SATURDAY, AND AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS IN ACROSS
THE WEST COAST IN RESPONSE. THE NAM REMAINS MORE AMPLIFIED AND
SLIGHTLY SLOWER THAN THE MODEL CONSENSUS BEYOND FRIDAY EVENING,
WITH GOOD OVERALL AGREEMENT AMONG THE REMAINING GUIDANCE.
