ONLY MINOR TWEAKS MADE TO THE FCST AS LATEST GUIDANCE IS SIMILAR TO
PREVIOUS GUIDANCE AND INHERITED GRIDS. A REPRIEVE FROM THE WET/WHITE
WX ANTICIPATED WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY AS HEIGHT RISES/SHORTWAVE
RIDGING ENSUES BEHIND TODAY'S POWERHOUSE SYSTEM. WEDNESDAY WILL
START OUT MAINLY CLOUDY (ESPECIALLY EAST) AND BREEZY...WITH CLEARING
AND DIMINISHING WINDS BY AFTERNOON. WAA ALOFT WILL BE OFFSET BY
SHALLOW MIXING AND SNOW COVER OVER MUCH OF THE AREA. WITH THIS OPTED
FOR COOLER GUIDANCE EACH DAY.

MORNING WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWS A POTENT NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE
TROUGH NEAR 145W IN THE NE PAC. THIS FEATURE WILL DIG INTO THE
WESTERN CONUS BY WEDNESDAY...WITH ENSEMBLES CONTINUING TO INDICATE
AN UPPER TROUGH FRACTURE BY THIS TIME. THE MOISTURE STARVED AND
SOMEWHAT SHEARED NRN PIECE OF THIS WAVE LOOKS TO PROPAGATE RAPIDLY
EWD THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES BY THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY MORNING.
ECMWF/GFS 5-3H Q-VECTOR PROGS POINT TO A BRIEF PERIOD OF LARGE SCALE
ASCENT BYPASSING MAINLY TO THE NORTH DURING THIS TIME. AS A
RESULT...NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN THE WAY OF PRECIP BEHIND THE
ATTENDANT CDFNT LOCALLY. OPTED TO LOWER POPS TO SLIGHT CHC FOR THE
POSSIBILITY OF A FEW LGT SNOW SHOWERS.

GREATER AMPLIFICATION OF A NE PAC RIDGE WILL SUPPORT DOWNSTREAM
AMPLIFICATION THIS WEEKEND...ALLOWING ANOTHER POSITIVELY TILTED NRN
STREAM UPPER TROUGH TO DIG INTO THE CENTRAL CONUS. THIS GREATER
AMPLIFICATION WILL HELP FORCE A SRN STREAM LEAD SHORTWAVE NEWD
TOWARDS THE GREAT LAKES BY SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY...BRINGING WITH IT
A BETTER CHC FOR MORE WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION BY THIS TIME. AS
EXPECTED THIS FAR IN ADVANCE...STILL LOW CONFIDENCE WRT TO DETAILS
(TRACK/TIMING/AMPLITUDE/ETC) SO WILL RETAIN CHC POPS AND FAVOR THE
MORE CONSISTENT ECMWF WHICH HINTS AT A FARTHER NW TRACK AND MAINLY
RAIN LOCALLY. OTHERWISE...TEMPS FOR THE ENTIRE PERIOD ARE FCST TO
