...SEE NOUS42 KWNO (ADMSDM) FOR THE STATUS OF THE UPPER AIR
INGEST...
00Z INITIAL MODEL EVALUATION INCLUDING PREFERENCES AND CONFIDENCE
...AMPLIFYING WAVE SHIFTING EAST ACROSS ONTARIO THROUGH TONIGHT
AND NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND SATURDAY NIGHT...
PREFERENCE: BLEND OF 12Z ECMWF/00Z NAM WITH SOME 00Z GFS/12Z UKMET
CONFIDENCE: AVERAGE
GOOD AGREEMENT AMONG GLOBAL GUIDANCE WITH THIS TROUGH AMPLIFYING
AS IT SHIFTS EAST ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN CONUS THIS WEEKEND. THE
00Z GFS DEPICTS ITS TYPICAL TOO PROGRESSIVE BIAS BY SUNDAY/DAY 3,
BUT THAT IS AS THE MID-LEVEL TROUGH AXIS IS SHIFTING OFF MAINE.
THE MAIN OUTLIER IS THE 12Z CMC WHICH IS MUCH LESS AMPLIFIED WITH
THE TROUGH OVER THE NORTHEAST. QPF FROM THE 12Z ECMWF/00Z NAM ARE
QUITE SIMILAR FOR DAY 2 AND ARE PREFERRED. THE GFS QPF IS A BIT
PROGRESSIVE FOR DAY 2, BUT INCLUSION OF IT AND THE 12Z UKMET ARE
REASONABLE AT LOWER WEIGHTS.
...INITIAL CUT-OFF LOW OFFSHORE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, MOVING
ONSHORE TONIGHT, INTO GREAT BASIN SATURDAY, THE WYOMING ROCKIES
SATURDAY NIGHT, AND THE NORTHERN PLAINS SUNDAY.
PREFERENCE: GENERAL MODEL BLEND
CONFIDENCE: SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE
A CUT OFF UPPER LOW WILL ONSHORE INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THIS
EVENING. THE LOW OPENS UP AS IT MOVES INLAND WITHIN CONFLUENT FLOW
AND BECOMES AN OPEN WAVE AND DEAMPLIFIES AS IT MOVES NORTH ACROSS
THE GREAT BASIN SATURDAY. THE SHORTWAVE ENERGY MERGES WITH THE
NORTHERN STREAM CLOSED LOW OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, WITH THE
MODELS SHOWING A 700-500 MB WAVE AND SFC FLOW DEVELOPING IN MT
LATE SATURDAY, WITH THE SFC LOW CROSSING INTO CANADA BY 12Z
SUNDAY. EVEN THE SFC LOW DEVELOPING IN ID AND MOVING INTO MT SAT
HAS GOOD CLUSTERING AMONG GLOBAL GUIDANCE. THE GOOD CLUSTERING
SUPPORTS A MODEL BLEND TO MITIGATE MINOR TIMING AND LOCATION
DIFFERENCES.
...CLOSED LOW OFF BRITISH COLUMBIA DRIFTING SOUTH THROUGH FRIDAY
NIGHT AND THEN OFF WASHINGTON/OREGON SATURDAY, MOVING EAST AND
ONSHORE SATURDAY NIGHT-SUNDAY...
PREFERENCE: GENERAL MODEL BLEND
CONFIDENCE: ABOVE AVERAGE
EXCELLENT GLOBAL DETERMINISTIC CLUSTERING WITH THE CLOSED 500 MB
LOW MOVING SOUTH OFFSHORE FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA FRIDAY, THEN OFF
WA/OR SATURDAY, THEN MOVING THE LOW ONSHORE
SATURDAY NIGHT, AND INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES SUNDAY. THERE IS
BETTER THAN USUAL CLUSTERING AMONG THESE MODELS AND THEIR
RESPECTIVE ENSEMBLE MEANS.
..CRISTOBAL
PREFERENCE: 03Z NHC ADVISORY
CONFIDENCE: REFER TO NHC PRODUCTS
THE OFFICIAL TRACK FOR T.D. CRISTOBAL IS A BIT OF COMPROMISE
BETWEEN GLOBAL GUIDANCE, AVOIDING THE FASTER AND FARTHER EAST GFS
THROUGH DAY 2. THE 12Z ECMWF AND 00Z NAM TRACKS A LITTLE SLOWER
AND FARTHER WEST WITH THE 00Z CMC/UKMET A LITTLE FASTER AND ON THE
EAST SIDE. MOST GUIDANCE SHIFTS WEST ON DAY 3 NEAR THE CENTRAL
GULF COAST WITH THE NHC TRACK ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE GLOBAL
DETERMINISTICS BY SUNDAY NIGHT.
