12Z GFS/NAM EVALUATION WITH PREFERENCES & FORECAST CONFIDENCE  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
ANY NAM/GFS INITIALIZATION ERRORS ARE SMALL AND DO NOT APPEAR TO  
DEGRADE THEIR SHORT RANGE FORECASTS.  
 
DEEP UPPER TROUGH MOVING INTO THE WEST THURSDAY  
SOUTHERN STREAM TROUGH MOVING INTO CA BY WEDNESDAY  
DEEP CYCLONE EJECTING OUT OF SOUTHEAST CANADA  
SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE PLAINS/MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES WED-THU  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
THE GUIDANCE IS IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE DETAILS OF THESE  
SYSTEMS, SO A MODEL BLEND OF THE 12Z GFS, 12Z NAM, 00Z UKMET, 00Z  
CANADIAN, AND 00Z ECMWF IS PREFERRED WITH ABOVE AVERAGE CONFIDENCE.  
 
TROPICAL STORM ISAIAS  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
THE 12Z GFS, AND TO SOME DEGREE THE 00Z UKMET, ARE QUICKER TO  
EJECT ISAIAS NORTHWARD THROUGH THE EAST INTO CANADA AND BEST MATCH  
THE 15Z NHC TRACK FOR THIS SYSTEM. FOR QPF PURPOSES, THE 06Z FV3  
SAR/GFS PARALLEL AND 12Z ARW HAVE ASPECTS THAT APPEAR USEFUL FOR  
THE RAINFALL FORECAST FROM MONDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. SEE THE LATEST  
ADVISORY FROM NHC FOR THE LATEST ON THE TRACK AND THINKING  
REGARDING ISAIAS.
