00Z MODELS INITIALIZED WELL AGAIN AGAINST THE 00Z ANALYSIS AS WELL

DIFFERENCES ARISE BETWEEN MODEL TRACK AND EVOLUTION IN THE

CONTINUES TO REALIGN FROM A NORTH SOUTH AXIS TO A NORTHWEST TO
SOUTHEAST AXIS OVER NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA...THE YUKON AND
ALASKA AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE TROUGH OVER THE CENTRAL
BERING SEA TAKES ON A SIMILAR TILT. THE BLOCKED PATTERN REMAINS
INTACT INTO NEXT WEEK WITH THE AMPLITUDE OF THE RIDGE EXTENDING

BRING A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES NORTHWEST OUT OF THE GULF OF ALASKA

STRENGTHEN AND REMAIN STRONG IN INTERIOR VALLEYS. THE EASTERN AND
CENTRAL INTERIOR WILL REMAIN DRY WHILE THE WESTERN INTERIOR AND
WEST COAST WILL CONTINUE TO SEE PERIODS OF MIXED PRECIPITATION.
