POSITIVE 500 HPA HEIGHT ANOMALIES ON THE ORDER OF NEARLY 2 STANDARD
DEVIATIONS ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTH-CENTRAL CANADA. CLOSED UPPER LOW
NEAR PITTSBURGH WILL LIKELY PROVIDE THE FA WITH ONE MORE DAY OF
OVERCAST SKIES AND POSSIBLY A FEW SHOWERS ON THURSDAY...AS VORT
MAXES CONTINUE TO PINWHEEL AROUND THIS CIRCULATION. THERE STILL IS
UNCERTAINTY WRT TIMING/TRACK OF ANY MID LEVEL IMPULSES ROTATING

PROPAGATING THROUGH IN THIS FLOW...COMBINED WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
NEARBY WOULD BRING A RENEWED CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
LATE SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY. THE ECMWF ON THE OTHER HAND CONTINUES
TO BE MUCH SLOWER IN ERODING THIS RIDGE...WHICH WOULD SUGGEST A
MILD/MAINLY DRY PERIOD. PREFERENCE LIES WITH THE CONSISTENT GFS/GEFS
SOLUTION AS IT HAS SOME SUPPORT FROM THE UKMET AND GEM.
HOWEVER...DID HEDGE A LITTLE TOWARDS THE SLOWER ECMWF BLOCK
