12Z MODEL EVALUATION WITH PREFERENCES & CONFIDENCE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THERE DO NOT SEEM TO BE GFS/NAM INITIALIZATION ISSUES WHICH
DEGRADE THEIR FORECASTS.
TROUGH DROPPING INTO THE GREAT LAKES WED/THU
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PREFERENCE: NON-UKMET COMPROMISE
CONFIDENCE: AVERAGE
THE 12Z GUIDANCE HAS CHANGED IN RELATION TO THE SYSTEM SWINGING
THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. THE NON-GFS
GUIDANCE HAS TRENDED QUICKER, MAKING THE 12Z GFS MORE RELEVANT
THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. THE 12Z UKMET HAS GONE FROM THE SLOWEST
TO THE QUICKEST SOLUTION WITH THIS FEATURE SHOWING THE GREATEST
INSTABILITY, SO ITS SOLUTION WASN'T CONSIDERED VIABLE. WOULD LEAN
AWAY FROM THE 12Z UKMET HERE (COMPROMISE OF THE 12Z NAM, 12Z GFS,
12Z CANADIAN, AND 12Z ECMWF) WITH ONLY AVERAGE CONFIDENCE.
ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE LOWER 48
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DIFFERENCES AMONGST THE GUIDANCE ARE WELL WITHIN THE NOISE WITH
OTHER SYSTEMS MOVING ACROSS THE LOWER 48. PREFER A COMPROMISE OF
THE AVAILABLE GUIDANCE THERE WITH ABOVE AVERAGE CONFIDENCE.
