THE EAST COAST SUNDAY NIGHT...LEAVING US WITH A NW FLOW ALOFT INTO
THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK. A SHORT WAVE WILL DROP DOWN TO OUR N
LATE MONDAY OR MONDAY NIGHT...BUT MOISTURE WILL BE TOO LIMITED EVEN
FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT CLOUD COVER. INSTEAD...A LARGE DRY HIGH PRESSURE
AREA WILL CONTROL OUR WEATHER WITH A FLAT UPPER RIDGE BUILDING IN

BEYOND THAT TIME...CONFIDENCE IS LOW AS THE GUIDANCE DIVERGES
SIGNIFICANTLY. THE GFS AND PREVIOUS ECMWF WERE IN DECENT AGREEMENT
WITH ANOTHER SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM THE WEST TUESDAY NIGHT AND
MOVING IN ON WEDNESDAY...BUT THE NEW ECMWF APPEARS RADICALLY
DIFFERENT...CASTING DOUBT ON THE FORECAST FROM TUESDAY NIGHT ONWARD.
THE FORECAST GENERALLY FOLLOWS THE HPC SOLUTION WITH MOISTURE
RETURNING EARLY WEDNESDAY AND A CHANCE OF PRECIP BY AFTERNOON. WITH
SURFACE TEMPS BELOW FREEZING WEDNESDAY MORNING...THAT COULD RESULT
IN A MINOR PTYPE PROBLEM OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN IF PRECIP BEGINS
EARLY ENOUGH. CONFIDENCE IS VERY LOW...HOWEVER...SO EXPECT CHANGES
OVER THE NEXT FEW CYCLES.
