...00Z NAM/GFS EVALUATION WITH PRELIMINARY PREFERENCES AND  
CONFIDENCE...  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
 
...AMPLIFYING MID-LEVEL TROUGH AXIS INTO THE NORTH-CENTRAL U.S.  
FOR MONDAY...   
..SURFACE LOW IN THE VICINITY OF NEW ENGLAND TUESDAY MORNING
 
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
PREFERENCE: 00Z NAM, 00Z GFS, 12Z ECMWF, 12Z ECMWF MEAN BLEND  
CONFIDENCE: AVERAGE  
 
THERE IS GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE UPPER TROUGH AMPLITUDE AND TIMING  
AS IT NEARS THE GREAT LAKES REGION WITH MINOR DIFFERENCES SHOWING  
UP AFTER TUESDAY MORNING. THE 12Z UKMET IS FLATTER AND FASTER WITH  
THE SHORTWAVE, RESULTING IN AN EASTWARD DISPLACED SURFACE LOW  
EARLY TUESDAY. MEANWHILE, THE 12Z CMC BECOMES SLIGHTLY  
SLOWER/DEEPER WITH THE UPPER TROUGH PLACEMENT RESULTING IN A  
SURFACE LOW DISPLACED TO THE SOUTH A BIT OF THE AGREEABLE 00Z NAM,  
00Z GFS AND 12Z ECMWF.  
 
THE GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE SURFACE LOW AMONG THE 00Z NAM/00Z  
GFS/12Z ECMWF IS BROKEN UP BY THE 18Z AND 12Z GEFS/12Z ECMWF MEAN  
SURFACE LOWS DISPLACED SLIGHTLY SOUTH AND EAST OF THE  
DETERMINISTIC CONSENSUS. THEREFORE, BLENDING THE NAM/GFS/ECMWF  
WITH THE 12Z ECMWF MEAN IS PREFERRED TO ACCOUNT FOR THE  
DISPLACEMENT OF THE MEANS RELATIVE TO THE DETERMINISTIC AGREEMENT.  
 
   
..COLD FRONT NEARING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST ON TUESDAY
 
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
PREFERENCE: 00Z NAM, 00Z GFS AND 12Z ECMWF BLEND  
CONFIDENCE: SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE  
 
COLD FRONTAL TIMING INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST IS GOOD WITH THE  
LATEST GUIDANCE. DIFFERENCES SHOW UP WITH THE CORRESPONDING  
SHORTWAVE DOWNSTREAM INTO THE NORTH-CENTRAL U.S. THE 12Z CMC  
STANDS OUT WITH A STRONGER/FASTER SHORTWAVE WHILE THE 12Z UKMET IS  
WEAKER BY 12Z/13. A BLEND OF THE 00Z NAM, 12Z ECMWF AND 00Z GFS IS  
REASONABLE GIVEN BETTER AGREEMENT TO THE ENSEMBLE MEANS.  
 
   
..CLOSED LOW OVER NORTHWESTERN MEXICO
 
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
PREFERENCE: 00Z NAM, 00Z GFS AND 12Z ECMWF BLEND  
CONFIDENCE: AVERAGE  
 
ENSEMBLE SPREAD IS MODEST BY 12Z/13 BUT THE 12Z CMC IS SLOWER AND  
12Z UKMET FASTER THAN THE MIDDLE OF THE SPREAD. THE MIDDLE OF THE  
SPREAD, TIGHTER CLUSTERING AND ENSEMBLE MEANS SUPPORTS A BLEND OF  
THE 00Z NAM, 00Z GFS AND 12Z ECMWF.
