00Z MODEL EVALUATION INCLUDING INITIAL PREFERENCES AND CONFIDENCE  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
 
...CLOSED LOW OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST SWINGING ACROSS THE  
NORTHERN ROCKIES LATE TODAY...  
...ASSOCIATED UPPER TROUGH MOVING FROM THE GREAT BASIN TO THE  
GREAT PLAINS TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
PREFERENCE: NON-GFS/NAM BLEND  
CONFIDENCE: AVERAGE  
 
WHILE THE GENERAL PATTERN OF THE UPPER LOW SWINGING EAST FROM THE  
PACIFIC NORTHWEST TODAY LIFTING ACROSS NORTHEAST MONTANA INTO  
SASKATCHEWAN ON MONDAY THERE ARE STRENGTH ISSUES. THE 00Z NAM AND  
GFS KEEP A CLOSED LOW ACROSS THE ROCKIES INTO MT AND THE GFS/18Z  
GEFS FURTHER STRENGTHEN THE LOW OVER SASKATCHEWAN ON MONDAY WHILE  
NON-NCEP GUIDANCE OPENS THE LOW OVER THE ID/MT ROCKIES TONIGHT AND  
KEEPS A TROUGH AXIS OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT  
BEFORE ABSORBING CRISTOBAL REMNANTS. THIS STRONGER LOW/TROUGH OVER  
THE NORTHERN PLAINS IN THE NAM/GFS PUSHES THE TROUGH FARTHER EAST  
WHICH MAKES FOR CONVERGENCE/PREDECESSOR RAIN FROM CRISTOBAL  
FARTHER EAST OVER THE NORTH-CENTRAL PLAINS ON DAY 2 THAN NON-NCEP  
GUIDANCE. PARTICULARLY WITH THE GFS, THE EASTERN FAVORING BRINGS  
CRISTOBAL REMNANTS FARTHER NORTH QUICKER. WILL HAVE TO SEE WHAT  
THE NON-NCEP GUIDANCE DOES WITH 00Z RUNS TO HAVE A FULL-HANDLE AND  
THE FINAL PREFERENCE MAY CHANGE.  
 
   
..CRISTOBAL  
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
PREFERENCE: 03Z NHC ADVISORY  
CONFIDENCE: REFER TO NHC PRODUCTS  
 
THE 03Z NHC TRACK IS ON THE FASTER SIDE OF THE GLOBAL SFC LOW  
CENTER PROGS WITH ONLY THE 00Z GFS OUTPACING IT THROUGH THE DAY 3  
TIME FRAME. AS NOTED ABOVE THE GFS IS THE FASTEST SOLUTION WITH  
CRISTOBAL, LIKELY DUE TO A STRONGER LOW OVER THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES  
MONDAY SHUNTING THE TROUGH FARTHER EAST WITH AN EARLIER  
INTERACTION WITH CRISTOBAL THAN THE REST OF THE GUIDANCE. THE 12Z  
UKMET TAKES THE SLOWEST TURN ACROSS THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY  
TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES. THE 12Z ECMWF HAS SHIFTED EAST AND SHOWS  
GOOD AGREEMENT WITH OTHER NON-NCEP GUIDANCE, JUST A LITTLE SLOWER  
THAN THE NHC TRACK.
