..12Z MODEL EVALUATION WITH 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: NON 00Z UKMET BLEND
CONFIDENCE: AVERAGE
IN THE LAST 24 HOURS, MODEL AGREEMENT HAS IMPROVED WITH THE
SHORTWAVE TROUGH AXIS SWINGING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND
NORTHEAST U.S. THROUGH TUESDAY AND WITH THE SURFACE LOW
DEVELOPMENT AND TRACK ACROSS NEW ENGLAND. THE CONSENSUS IS FOR LOW
PRESSURE TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS AND THEN
TOWARD SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BY 12Z TUESDAY AND THEN ENTER THE GULF
OF MAINE TOWARD 00Z WEDNESDAY. SPREAD BETWEEN THE DETERMINISTIC
MODELS IS LOW AND OVERALL A GENERAL MODEL BLEND CAN BE USED FOR
THE MASS FIELDS WITH THIS SYSTEM.
..COLD FRONT NEARING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST ON TUESDAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PREFERENCE: 00Z ECENS/12Z GFS BLEND
CONFIDENCE: SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE
RIDGING CURRENTLY ANCHORED OVER THE WESTERN U.S. AT THE START OF
THE FORECAST PERIOD WILL BREAK DOWN AS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT ENTER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST TUESDAY. THROUGH
48 HOURS (12.12Z), THERE IS ABOVE AVERAGE AGREEMENT WITH THE
LATEST DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE. BEYOND THAT, THE 00Z ECMWF
CONTINUES TO BE A BIT DEEPER/AMPLIFIED WITH ITS TROUGH. THE 00Z
ECENS MEAN WOULD BE A GOOD COMPROMISE TO THE MORE AMPLIFIED ECMWF
AND ALSO AGREES WELL WITH THE LATEST GFS. THE NAM/CMC OFFER SOME
UTILITY AS WELL WHILE THE UKMET SEEMS TO BE TOO SLOW COMPARED TO
THE REST OF THE GUIDANCE. THE PREFERENCE FOR NOW WILL BE A
NON-UKMET BLEND, WITH HEAVIER WEIGHTS TOWARD THE ECENS/GFS.
..CLOSED LOW OVER NORTHWESTERN MEXICO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PREFERENCE: NON 00Z UKMET BLEND
CONFIDENCE: AVERAGE
THE 00Z UKMET CONTINUES TO BE THE FASTER OUTLIER REGARDING THE 500
MB LOW TRACK ACROSS MEXICO DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE 12Z
GFS/NAM OFFER SIMILAR SOLUTIONS TO THE 00Z ECMWF/CMC, SO WITH THIS
IN MIND, A NON-00Z UKMET BLEND IS PREFERRED.
