00Z MODEL EVALUATION INCLUDING INITIAL PREFERENCES AND CONFIDENCE  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
 
...POSITIVELY TILTED TROUGH OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES TO  
INTERMOUNTAIN WEST THAT SPINS OFF A LOW THAT CROSSES THE CENTRAL  
ROCKIES MONDAY NIGHT AND LIFTS OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST WEDNESDAY...  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
PREFERENCE: NON-GFS BLEND  
CONFIDENCE: AVERAGE  
 
A REINFORCING SHORTWAVE MOVING ALONG THE POSITIVELY TILTED TROUGH  
OVER THE GREAT BASIN SPINS OFF AS ITS OWN LOW THAT CROSSES THE  
CO/NM BORDER MONDAY NIGHT AND PUSHES INTO THE SOUTH-CENTRAL GREAT  
PLAINS TUESDAY TRAILING THE REMNANTS OF CRISTOBAL THEN THROUGH  
MIDWEEK AS IT TURNS NORTH AND CROSSES THE GREAT LAKES WEDNESDAY  
NIGHT. THERE IS DECENT AGREEMENT ON THIS PATTERN FOR ALL GLOBAL  
MODELS EXCEPT THE 00Z GFS WHICH IS MUCH MORE PROGRESSIVE AND HAS A  
GREATER INTERACTION OF THE SPUN OFF LOW AND THE CRISTOBAL REMNANTS  
MAKING FOR A MUCH DEEPER LOW WITH A FARTHER WEST TRACK OVER THE  
UPPER MIDWEST THAN THE REST OF THE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE GUIDANCE.  
THE NAM/ECMWF/UKMET/CMC ALL HAVE A SLOWER LOW CROSSING THE CENTRAL  
ROCKIES ALLOWING CRISTOBAL TO GET FARTHER AHEAD. THE 00Z NAM  
DEVELOPS A DEEPER LOW OVER THE SOUTH-CENTRAL PLAINS WHICH IS  
UNDERSTANDABLY SLOWER THAN THE 12Z ECMWF/UKMET/CMC. AS OF NOW A  
NON-GFS SOLUTION REMAINS THE RECOMMENDATION.  
 
   
..CRISTOBAL  
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
PREFERENCE: NON-GFS BLEND  
CONFIDENCE: REFER TO NHC PRODUCTS  
 
NON-GFS MODELS ARE WELL-CLUSTERED THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT FOR THE  
CRISTOBAL REMNANTS TRACK UP THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER THEN TO THE  
UPPER MIDWEST. THE 03Z NHC ADVISORY REMAINS ON THE FASTER SIDE OF  
THIS CONSENSUS SOLUTION THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. ANY INTERACTION  
WITH THE LOW APPROACHING FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS ON TUESDAY WILL  
NEED TO BE MONITORED, BUT AS OF NOW IT IS THOUGHT THE GFS IS TOO  
AGGRESSIVE WITH THIS INTERACTION.
