.LONG TERM...VALID FOR THU...FRI...SAT...SUN...MON...

UPPER RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS FOR THURSDAY AS A
TROUGH IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE PACNW.  THE TROUGH IS THEN
FORECAST TO MOVE TROUGH SOUTHERN CANADA AND PUSH A WEAK COLD FRONT
THROUGH THE CWA SATURDAY. 00Z GFS WAS A LITTLE DEEPER WITH THE TROUGH
THAN THE NEW 12Z RUN.  GFS ENSEMBLES ALSO HINT THE WAVE MAY BE WEAKER
AND THE ECMWF KEEPS THE WAVE WELL TO THE NORTHWEST. SO THE FORECAST COOL
DOWN MAY BE TOO MUCH...BUT VALUES ARE CURRENTLY AT OR ABOVE MODEL
GUIDANCE. WILL LEAVE THE NUMBERS ALONE...BUT LATER SHIFTS MAY NEED TO
NUDGE THE VALUES BACK CLOSER TO PERSISTANCE.  MORE ZONAL FLOW IS
FORECAST BY THE GFS/ECMWF INTO MONDAY...BUT AGAIN THE ENSEMBLES INDICATE
A WEAK RIDGE AND WARMER TEMPERATURES. FORECAST FOR SUN AND MONDAY ARE
STILL FOR ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WHICH IS REASONABLE. CHANCE OF RAIN
DOESNT LOOK THAT GREAT THU THROUGH MONDAY. BEST SHOT SEEMS TO BE FRIDAY
WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...BUT MOISTURE LOOKS PRETTY SLIM. WILL KEEP
POPS OUT OF THE FORECAST...BUT COULD SEE AN ISOLATED STORM OR TWO
FRIDAY.  MOORE
