12Z MODEL EVALUATION WITH FINAL PREFERENCES/CONFIDENCE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGHING OVER THE NORTHEASTERN QUARTER OF
THE U.S. MONDAY TO WEDNESDAY...
PREFERENCE: BLEND OF 12Z NAM AND 00Z ECMWF
CONFIDENCE: AVERAGE
A MID-UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CROSSES NY/NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT AND
MONDAY, EVENTUALLY MOVING OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST ON TUESDAY.
WEAK WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT
FROM THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC TO EASTERN NEW ENGLAND.
SLIGHT TIMING DIFFERENCES PERSIST AS THE MID-LEVEL CLOSED LOW
MOVES FROM EASTERN NEW ENGLAND INTO THE COASTAL WATERS. THE 00Z
ECMWF IS THE SLOWEST WHILE 00Z CMC/12Z NAM IN THE MIDDLE, WITH THE
12Z GFS FASTER TO MOVE THE LOW OFFSHORE. THE 00Z CMC/12Z NAM ARE
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CLUSTER OF SOLUTIONS AND THUS FAVORED UNTIL
BETTER AGREEMENT DEVELOPS.
...LONGWAVE TROUGH AXIS MOVING THROUGH THE NORTH-CENTRAL U.S.
THROUGH WEDNESDAY ..
PREFERENCE: BLEND OF 00Z CMC/00Z ECMWF
CONFIDENCE: SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE
THE MODELS SHOW GOOD OVERALL AGREEMENT WITH A BROAD 500 MB TROUGH
AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES AND NORTHERN PLAINS TONIGHT AND MONDAY, THEN OUT OF THE
NORTHERN PLAINS TO THE UPPER MS VALLEY TUESDAY. SOME MINOR TIMING
AND AMPLITUDE DIFFERENCES WERE SEEN, WITH THE 12Z GFS A BIT FASTER
AND 12Z NAM SLIGHTLY MORE AMPLIFIED TUE. THE 00Z CANADIAN GLOBAL
AND ECMWF REPRESENT THE MIDDLE GROUND, BUT THE DIFFERENCES AMONG
THE ARE SMALL ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A GENERAL MODEL BLEND FOR THE
PREFERENCE.
THE 12Z GFS APPEARS TO LOWER 700 MB HEIGHTS/SEA LEVEL PRESSURE
NEAR WHERE IT PRODUCES CONVECTION IN SOUTHERN WI/NORTHERN IL. THE
GFS MIGHT BE SUFFERING FROM A BIT OF CONVECTIVE/GRIDS SCALE
FEEDBACK, SO THE LOW PRESSURE FURTHER SOUTH DEPICTED IN THE 00Z
CANADIAN GLOBAL/09Z SREF MEAN/00Z ECMWF/12Z NAM/00Z ECMWF ENSEMBLE
MEAN IS PREFERRED.
