INGEST...  
 
00Z INITIAL MODEL EVALUATION INCLUDING PREFERENCES AND CONFIDENCE  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
 
...LOW OVER EASTERN KANSAS TURNING NORTHEAST AND LIFTING OVER THE  
GREAT LAKES THROUGH TONIGHT...  
...ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS, REACHING  
THE EASTERN SEABOARD FRIDAY...  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
PREFERENCE: NON-CMC GENERAL MODEL BLEND  
CONFIDENCE: AVERAGE  
 
GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE INITIAL LOW OVER KS SWINGING NORTHEAST  
THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES THROUGH TONIGHT. THE TRAILING TROUGH THAT  
DRIFTS EAST ACROSS ONTARIO HAS DIVERGENT SOLUTIONS. THE 00Z GFS  
HAS SLOWED ITS PROGRESSION OF THE TROUGH AND IS NOW IN GOOD  
AGREEMENT. THE 12Z CMC IS THE MOST PROGRESSIVE WITH THIS TROUGH  
AXIS AND THOUGH ITS LEAD COLD FRONTAL PROGRESSION TO THE EASTERN  
SEABOARD IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH CONSENSUS, IT IS NOT NEARLY AS  
POSITIVELY TILTED BACK OVER THE GREAT LAKES AS THE REST OF THE  
GUIDANCE AND THUS MISSES OUT ON MIDWEST PRECIP ON A REINFORCING  
COLD FRONT ON DAY 3. THEREFORE, A NON-CMC SOLUTION IS RECOMMENDED.  
 
...CLOSED LOW OFF BRITISH COLUMBIA AND ASSOCIATED LONGWAVE TROUGH  
DIGGING AND REACHING THE WEST COAST BY FRIDAY NIGHT...  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
PREFERENCE: NON-GFS GENERAL MODEL BLEND  
CONFIDENCE: SLIGHTLY BELOW AVERAGE  
 
GOOD AGREEMENT ON REINFORCING WAVE DIGGING A TROUGH OFF THE CA  
COAST THROUGH THURSDAY WITH THE 00Z GFS SPED UP EVEN MORE WITH  
THIS WAVE, KEEPING IT OPEN AND EJECTING IT ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN  
FRIDAY NIGHT WHICH IS WELL AHEAD OF THE 18Z GEFS MEAN. THE  
CONSENSUS IS TO CLOSE THE LOW AND SLOWLY BRING IT INTO  
NORTH-CENTRAL CA FRIDAY NIGHT. THE 12Z ECMWF IS THE SLOWEST WITH  
THIS LOW WHICH IS TYPICAL FOR THE MODEL AND THE 12Z UKMET/CMC AND  
00Z NAM ARE ALL IN A SIMILAR POSITION ALONG THE CA/NV BORDER BY  
13/12Z. THERE IS A SIMILAR DAY 3 PRECIP PATTERN AMONG THESE  
MODELS, SO A NON-GFS BLEND IS PREFERRED.
