00Z FINAL MODEL EVALUATION INCLUDING PREFERENCES AND CONFIDENCE  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
   
..AMPLIFYING WAVE SHIFTING EAST ACROSS THE NORTHEAST TONIGHT
 
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
PREFERENCE: GENERAL MODEL BLEND  
CONFIDENCE: 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. 00Z GUIDANCE ARE NOW IN EXCELLENT  
AGREEMENT INCLUDING THE CMC WHICH IS NO LONGER THE DEEPEST  
SOLUTION.  
 
...LOW OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WHICH 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 THE REST  
OF THE 00Z 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 WILL MAKE LANDFALL INTO  
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST TONIGHT. 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 NORTH FROM THE WYOMING ROCKIES. 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. TIMING IS MUCH BETTER AMONG THE 00Z SUITE, SO  
A GENERAL MODEL BLEND IS PREFERRED.  
 
   
..CRISTOBAL
 
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
PREFERENCE: 03Z NHC ADVISORY  
CONFIDENCE: REFER TO NHC PRODUCTS  
 
THE OFFICIAL TRACK FOR T.S. CRISTOBAL IS CLUSTERED WELL WITH  
GLOBAL GUIDANCE AND SLOWER THAN THE OUTLIER 00Z CMC FOR TIMING  
INTO THE CENTRAL GULF COAST THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. THERE IS TIGHT  
CLUSTERING OF THE LOW POSITION WITH THE 00Z 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 WAS  
JOINED BY THE 00Z ECMWF AS THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE DAYS 1-3  
FORECAST TRACK.
