...AMPLIFYING MID-LEVEL TROUGH AXIS INTO THE NORTH-CENTRAL U.S.
FOR MONDAY...
..SURFACE LOW IN THE VICINITY OF NEW ENGLAND TUESDAY MORNING
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PREFERENCE: ECMWF/GFS BLEND
CONFIDENCE: AVERAGE
ANOMALOUS TROUGH AXIS WILL AMPLIFY OVER THE NORTH-CENTRAL U.S. AND
MOVE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES THROUGH MID-WEEK. THE MOST RECENT
CYCLE OF THE MODELS SHOWS FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE STRENGTH,
POSITION, AND TIMING OF THE TROUGH AXIS, WITH THE CMC A BIT SLOWER
COMPARED TO THE GFS/NAM/ECMWF. A SURFACE LOW WILL DEVELOP NEAR THE
MID-ATLANTIC AND MOVE ALONG THE NORTHEAST AND NEW ENGLAND COASTS.
THE NAM IS THE FASTEST WITH ITS LOW TRACK WHILE THERE IS
REASONABLE AGREEMENT NOW BETWEEN THE GFS/ECMWF (THOUGH THE ECMWF
IS INLAND WHILE THE GFS IS JUST OFFSHORE). A BLEND OF THE
GFS/ECMWF YIELDS A SOLUTION CLOSE TO CONSENSUS AND IS PREFERRED AT
THIS TIME.
..COLD FRONT NEARING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST ON TUESDAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PREFERENCE: 12Z GFS/NAM, 00Z CMC
CONFIDENCE: SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE
A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL PUSH INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. OVERALL, TIMING BETWEEN THE VARIOUS MODELS
IS FAIRLY SIMILAR WITH THE 00Z ECMWF SLIGHTLY AHEAD OF THE
GFS/NAM/CMC. AS SUCH, THE BEST CONSENSUS AND MODEL TRENDS SUGGEST
A GFS/NAM BLEND WITH SOME INCORPORATION OF THE CMC IS SUFFICIENT.
..CLOSED LOW OVER NORTHWESTERN MEXICO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PREFERENCE: GENERAL MODEL BLEND
CONFIDENCE: AVERAGE
THE MOST RECENT MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN ABOVE AVERAGE AGREEMENT WITH
LITTLE SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE NEXT 3 DAYS AS A CLOSED UPPER LEVEL
LOW CURRENTLY OFF THE BAJA OF CALIFORNIA DRIFTS EASTWARD. THE
CONSENSUS IS FOR THIS FEATURE TO REMAIN REMOVED FROM THE NORTHERN
STREAM ENERGY THROUGH 84 HOURS AS IT APPROACHES WESTERN MEXICO. A
GENERAL MODEL BLEND IS SUFFICIENT FOR THIS FEATURE.
