00Z INITIAL MODEL EVALUATION INCLUDING PREFERENCES AND CONFIDENCE  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
   
..AMPLIFYING WAVE SHIFTING EAST ACROSS THE NORTHEAST TONIGHT  
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
PREFERENCE: NON-CMC GENERAL MODEL BLEND  
CONFIDENCE: SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE  
 
A POSITIVELY TILTED TROUGH EXTENDING FROM NORTHERN QUEBEC TO  
CENTRAL ONTARIO AMPLIFIES AS IT PUSHES EAST ACROSS THE NORTHEAST  
AND MID-ATLANTIC TONIGHT. THE 12Z CMC IS THE DEEPEST SOLUTION AND  
IS THE ONLY OUTLIER.  
 
...LOW OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CROSSES THE GREAT BASIN TODAY, THE  
WYOMING ROCKIES THIS EVENING, AND THE NORTHERN PLAINS TONIGHT.  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
PREFERENCE: GENERAL MODEL BLEND  
CONFIDENCE: SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE  
 
THE 00Z GFS REMAINS A BIT MORE AMPLIFIED AS THE TROUGH LIFTS OVER  
THE NORTHERN PLAINS NEAR THE MT/ND BORDER TONIGHT, BUT NOT ENOUGH  
TO BE RULED OUT OF THE EXCELLENT AGREEING CONSENSUS AMONG GLOBAL  
DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE.  
 
...CLOSED LOW DRIFTING SOUTH OFF BRITISH COLUMBIA THEN SHIFTING  
INTO WASHINGTON/OREGON SATURDAY TONIGHT AND A NORTHERN TROUGH  
DRIFTING EAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY...  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
PREFERENCE: GENERAL MODEL BLEND  
CONFIDENCE: SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE  
 
WELL DEFINED SYMMETRIC CLOSED LOW OFF BC IS WELL FORECAST THROUGH  
THE SHORT-TERM AS IT MAKES LANDFALL INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST  
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. UNCERTAINTY ARISES AS THE CENTRAL CORE  
ENHANCED BY THE PACIFIC JET ROUNDS THE BROADENING BASE INTO THE  
SNAKE RIVER VALLEY/GREAT BASIN AND BEGINS TO INTERACT WITH THE  
EXITING SHORTWAVE LIFTING THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS. STILL, MOST  
OF THE UNCERTAINTY COMES WITH DIFFERENCES IN TIMING WITHIN THE  
GUIDANCE SUITE AND THEREFORE THE MAGNITUDE OF AMPLIFICATION WITH  
THE PRECURSORY WAVE MOVING INTO SW CANADA. THE GFS AND NAM REMAIN  
THE MOST AGGRESSIVE AND SWING THE JET THROUGH WY INTO MT STRONGER  
AND FASTER. THE 12Z UKMET IS THE SLOWEST SOLUTION, BUT THE  
OVERALL MINOR DIFFERENCES MAKE A GENERAL MODEL BLEND PREFERRED.  
 
   
..CRISTOBAL  
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
PREFERENCE: 03Z NHC ADVISORY  
CONFIDENCE: REFER TO NHC PRODUCTS  
 
THE OFFICIAL TRACK FOR T.S. CRISTOBAL IS ON THE FASTER SIDE OF  
GUIDANCE, CLOSEST TO THE 12Z CMC FOR TIMING INTO THE CENTRAL GULF  
COAST LATE SUNDAY AND INTO THE MID-SOUTH BY LATE MONDAY. THERE IS  
TIGHT CLUSTERING OF THE LOW POSITION WITH THE 12Z UKMET THE  
DEEPEST IN TERMS OF CENTRAL PRESSURE BY A FEW MILLIBARS. THE 00Z  
GFS SLOWED IN ITS DAY 1 TIMING ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF. THE 00Z  
NAM REMAINS THE WESTERNMOST OF THE GLOBAL GUIDANCE FOR THE REMNANT  
INLAND TRACK ON DAY 3.
