PREFERENCE: GENERAL MODEL BLEND
CONFIDENCE: SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE
MODELS CONTINUE TO EXHIBIT STRONG AGREEMENT ON THE SYNOPTIC
PATTERN WITH MOST DETERMINISTIC MODELS WELL WITHIN THE ENVELOPE OF
THE ENSEMBLE SPREAD. THE BROAD GLOBAL SCALE TROF CENTERED ON S
HUDSON/JAMES BAY DOMINATES FROM THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL ROCKIES
TO THE EAST COAST, WITH EMBEDDED SHORTER-LENGTH SHORTWAVE FEATURES
MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS INTO THE GREAT LAKES THROUGH
THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEK. AN ELONGATED CLOSED LOW IN THE
CALIFORNIA BIGHT, SOUTHEAST OF THE DOMINANT NORTHEAST PACIFIC
RIDGE. THIS PATTERN CONTINUES THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD WITH
ONLY THE WESTERN RIDGE DAMPENING BY TUES, ALLOWING ENERGY TO DRAW
THE CLOSED LOW INTO THE SOUTHWEST LATE WED INTO THURS.
THE NORTHERN STREAM WHILE HAVING STUBBLE DEPTH/TIMING DIFFERENCES
ARE IN VERY STRONG AGREEMENT. THE SOUTHWEST AND SHEARING OUT
CLOSED LOW INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS IS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN
TIMING, AS THE 00Z NAM/GFS BOTH UNCHARACTERISTICALLY, BEING SLOW
TO LIFT NORTHEAST. THE IMPACT TO SURFACE TROF AND MOISTURE/QPF
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS IS FAIRLY SMALL OVERALL GIVEN A GOOD
AGREEMENT ON THE RETURN MOISTURE MAGNITUDE/TIMING OUT OF THE GULF
IN THE LOWEST LEVELS, WHILE THE MID-LEVEL MOISTURE STREAM OUT OF
THE SUBTROPICAL PACIFIC IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE SHEARING OUT TROF
(GIVEN PARALLEL FLOW TO SHEARING ENVIRONMENT. AS SUCH, A GENERAL
MODEL BLEND CAN BE EMPLOYED WITH SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE CONFIDENCE
THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD ACROSS THE CONUS.
