WESTERN CONUS. NAM WAS ABOUT 2C TOO WARM WITH 850MB TEMPS FROM KTOP-
KABR-KBIS. 300MB JET ANALYSIS LOOKED GOOD WITH GOOD DATA COVERAGE.
DPROG/DT OF 500MB HGTS AT 29/12Z SHOWED THE MODEL RUNS OF 27/12Z AND
28/12Z VERIFIED QUITE WELL WITH THE EASTERN CONUS TROUGH...WITH EDGE
TO GFS. 27/12Z RUNS WERE TOO WEAK WITH THE TROUGH OVER THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES...WHILE THE 28/12Z RUNS WERE QUITE GOOD WITH THIS FEATURE.
THRU 36HRS /00Z SAT/ MODELS HAVE TRENDED TOWARD A COMPROMISE OF
THEIR 28/12Z RUNS. FOR 36-60HRS...NAM/GFS CONTINUE TO TREND FASTER
EXITING THE UPPER LOW EAST OF THE AREA. IN THE 60-84HR TIME-FRAME...
MODELS MAINTAIN DECENT CONSISTENCY WITH THE EARLIER GFS RUNS...BUT
HAVE TRENDED A BIT SLOWER WITH THE NEXT TROUGH INTO THE CENTRAL
CONUS...OPPOSITE THE 29/00Z ECMWF RUN BUT CLOSE TO THE 28/00Z ECMWF
RUN. AT 18Z...A COMPROMISE OF NAM/GFS LOOKED BEST WITH THE SFC MASS
FIELDS AND 12Z-18Z PRECIP ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS. WV IMAGERY
SHOWED BOTH NAM/GFS WITH DECENT DEPICTIONS OF THE SHORTWAVE ENERGY
OVER CO/WY. NAM LOOKED BETTER WITH THE SHORTWAVE ENERGY FROM
SOUTHERN CO TO THE CA BAJA. WITH MODELS PRESENTING RATHER SIMILAR
SOLUTIONS THRU THE PERIOD THIS CYCLE...SHORT-TERM FORECAST
CONFIDENCE IS GOOD. OVERALL FAVORED A NAM/GFS COMPROMISE THIS
CYCLE...WHICH LOOKS TO HAVE VERIFIED BEST THE PAST 12 TO 24HRS.

FOR THE SHORT TERM...DEEP LAYERED DYNAMICS/FORCING/LIFT AHEAD OF AND
WITH THE CO/WY SHORTWAVE AND CENTRAL PLAINS LOW SPREAD EAST INTO THE
AREA TONIGHT THEN ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FRI. BOTH MODELS TRACK
THE SFC LOW AND SHORTWAVE ALMOST DUE EAST TONIGHT/FRI...TO
NORTHEAST IA BY 00Z SAT...THE AXIS OF STRONGEST/DEEPEST LIFT/
DEFORMATION BAND TRANSLATES ACROSS THE NORTHERN 2/3 OF THE FORECAST
AREA LATE TONIGHT INTO FRI AFTERNOON. INITIAL DRY AIR ABOVE THE
STRATUS DECK TO ABOUT 700MB ALLOWS PRECIP FALLING INTO IT TO
EVAPORATIVELY COOL THE WARM LAYER NEAR 850MB TO BELOW 0C. BROAD
ASCENT/LIFT OF THE COLUMN HELP COOL THIS LAYER TOO. MODEL SOUNDINGS
CONTINUE TO INDICATE POTENTIAL FOR SOME SLEET TO MIX WITH THE SNOW
AT TIMES ACROSS NORTHEAST IA/SOUTHWEST WI LATE TONIGHT/FRI...WET-
BULB ZERO IN AN ELEVATED LAYER HOVERING AROUND 0C. BOUNDARY LAYER
TEMPS ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH ON FRI ALSO INDICATING -RA/-SN MIX.
ADDED THIS MENTION FORECAST GRIDS ACROSS THE SOUTH. MODELS PRODUCE
1/3 TO 2/3 INCH QPF ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA...
WITH BUFKIT COBB DATA INDICATING SNOW-WATER RATIOS OF 10 OR 11 TO
ONE. GIVEN THIS...DECENT MODEL CONSISTENCY SINCE 29/00Z AND MODELS
DOING QUITE WELL AT 18Z...ISSUED SNOW ADVISORY FOR ROUGHLY THE
NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA STARTING LATE TONIGHT WEST OF THE
MS RIVER AND CONTINUING INTO FRI NIGHT ALONG/EAST OF THE MS RIVER.
APPEARS LOCATIONS ALONG NORTH OF INTERSTATE 90 TO SEE 3+ INCHES
SNOW. LATER SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO MONITOR LOCATIONS NORTHEAST OF I-94
FOR POTENTIAL UPGRADE TO WARNING...AS 29/18Z NAM LINGERS THE DEEPER
DEFORMATION BAND FORCING/LIFT ACROSS THE NORTHEAST END OF THE
FORECAST AREA WELL INTO FRI NIGHT. WITH THE SFC-700MB TROUGH AXIS
LINGERING OVER THE AREA SAT...ADDED FLURRIES TO FORECAST GRIDS.
SHORT-LIVED SHORTWAVE RIDGING ALOFT ALONG WITH A WEAK RIDGE OF SFC
HIGH PRESSURE MOVE ACROSS THE AREA SAT NIGHT. DUE TO THE TRANSIENT
NATURE OF THESE FEATURES ALONG WITH THE PERSISTENT LOW LEVEL
INVERSION...APPEARS WHAT SUBSIDENCE IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RIDGE
AXIS WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO BREAK UP/CLEAR OUT THE CLOUDS. MID/HIGH
LEVEL MOISTURE AHEAD OF THE NEXT TROUGH INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS
ALREADY ARRIVES SUN. STRONG LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM SPREADS ACROSS THE AREA SUN AFTERNOON/NIGHT...WITH LOW LEVEL
THERMAL PROFILES INDICATING A MIX OF PRECIP TYPES WITH THIS SYSTEM.
CHANCE -RA/-SN IN FORECAST GRIDS FOR SUN/SUN NIGHT CONTINUES TO LOOK
GOOD FOR NOW. WITH ALL THE CLOUDS...FAVORED WARMER OF GUIDANCE LOWS
TONIGHT/FRI NIGHT/SAT NIGHT...AND TRENDED THESE UP 1 OR 2 DEGREES AT
MANY LOCATIONS. FAVORED A BLEND OF GUIDANCE HIGHS FRI...THEN WARMER
MAV/MET-MOS VALUES FOR SAT. WITH PLENTY OF CLOUDS ON SUNDAY...
TRENDED HIGHS TOWARD GFS ENSEMBLE-MOS VALUES. WITH THE LOW LEVEL
WARM ADVECTION AND CLOUDS SUN NIGHT...FAVORED WARMER GFS MEX-MOS
LOWS.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

29/00Z GFS/ECMWF SOLUTIONS /AT 500MB/ REMAIN REASONABLY SIMILAR
TO EACH OTHER AND THEIR PREVIOUS RUNS THRU 168HRS...WITH THE GENERAL
TIMING OF THE STRONGER TROUGHS ACROSS THE CONUS. MODELS DO DIFFER
QUITE A BIT WITH THE SHORTWAVE DETAILS. GFS SHOWS THE BETTER RUN-TO-
RUN CONSISTENCY THIS CYCLE...WITH ECMWF ALREADY SHOWING RUN-TO-RUN
DIFFERENCES AT 72HRS /00Z SUN/. GFS ENSEMBLES START TO BECOME
VARIABLE WITH THE SHORTWAVE TIMING DETAILS AT 72HRS...WHICH
INCREASES THRU 168HRS /00Z THU/. ENSEMBLES DO MAINTAIN DECENT
CONSISTENCY OF THE LONG-WAVE RIDGE/TROUGH PATTERN ACROSS NOAM/
EASTERN PAC TO 00Z THU. THE ENSEMBLE LONGWAVE PATTERN THEN BECOMES
QUITE VARIABLE BY 00Z FRI. THE ENSEMBLE MEAN TRENDS TOWARD A
COMPROMISE OF THE 29/00Z GFS/ECMWF OPERATIONAL RUNS IN THE 00Z MON
TO 00Z THU TIME-FRAME. 29/12Z GFS HAS TRENDED A BIT TOWARD A
GFS/ENSEMBLE COMPROMISE BUT MAINTAINS MUCH SIMILARITY TO THE 29/00Z
GFS RUN. FORECAST CONFIDENCE REMAINS ABOVE AVERAGE WITH THE TIMING
OF SYSTEMS ACROSS THE REGION NEXT WEEK...AS MODELS CONSISTENT WITH A
STRONGER TROUGH PASSING ACROSS THE REGION MON...THEN ANOTHER ON WED.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE LOW IN THE DETAILS WITH ALL THE MODEL/ENSEMBLE
VARIABILITY AT THE SHORTWAVE SCALE. LOW LEVEL THERMAL FIELDS SFC-
850MB TEMPS REMAIN IN CRITICAL RANGES FOR MIXED PRECIP TYPES WITH
THE SYSTEMS NEXT WEEK...BUT DID LEAVE WED SYSTEM WITH CHANCE SNOW
FOR NOW WITH THE LOW DETAIL CONFIDENCE...AND FOR CONSISTENCY.
PREVIOUS FORECAST GRID DATA BASE FOR DAYS 4-7 IN DECENT SHAPE AS
MODELS MAINTAIN THE TROUGH TIMING...WITH GENERALLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS
MADE. TRENDED MON-THU LOWS TOWARD WARMER GFS MEX-MOS LOWS WITH
MOSTLY CLOUDY TO CLOUDY SKIES EXPECTED TO PERSIST. FAVORED COOLER
GFS ENSEMBLE-MOS LOWS MON-TUE...THEN WARMER MEX-MOS HIGHS WED/THU
WITH THE WARMER OVERNIGHT LOWS.
