MODEL DIAGNOSTIC DISCUSSION

NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD

1131 AM EST THU JAN 21 2016

VALID JAN 21/1200 UTC THRU JAN 25/0000 UTC

...SEE NOUS42 KWNO (ADMNFD) FOR THE STATUS OF THE UPPER AIR

INGEST...

12Z MODEL EVALUATION WITH PREFERENCES/FORECAST CONFIDENCE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CYCLONE SWEEPING THROUGH THE SOUTH/SOUTHEAST...TRANSFERRING TO

COASTAL LOW SAT...TRACKING UP MID-ATLANTIC COAST BY SUN

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PREFERENCE: 12Z GFS AND 00Z ECMWF/CMC BLEND

CONFIDENCE: AVERAGE

OVERALL SYNOPTIC SPREAD LOOKS QUITE AGREEABLE MAINLY DRIVEN BY A

SLOWING OF THE GFS TOWARD THE MEANS AND A QUICKENING OF THE ECMWF

TOWARD ITS MEANS EARLY ON. HOWEVER...DIFFERENCES/SPREAD INCREASE

AFTER 24/00Z MAINLY DRIVEN BY THE HANDLING OF THE PIVOT/SURFACE

OCCLUSION STRENGTH NEAR THE MOUTH OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY AND/OR

TRANSFER TOWARD THE NEW TRIPLE POINT...MOSTLY AFFECTING THE TIMING

OF THE EXIT OF SENSIBLE WEATHER OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC AND NEW

ENGLAND. GENERALLY THE 12Z NAM WAS A BIT NORTH ACROSS THE SOUTH

AND TRANSFERRED TO THE COAST FASTER AND QUICKER THAN MUCH OF THE

OTHER GUIDANCE...BRING PRECIPITATION IN FASTER AND FURTHER NORTH

ACROSS THE TIGHT GRADIENT OVER S NEW ENGLAND...MAKING IT A BIT

MORE OF AN OUTLIER. THE 00Z UKMET ALONG WITH THE 12Z NAM ARE ON

THE WESTERN SIDE (SLOWER) RETAINING THE SURFACE OCCLUSION A BIT

LONGER THAN THE 00Z ECMWF WHICH RAPIDLY TRANSITIONED TO THE NEW

TRIPLE POINT BY SUNDAY. THE 12Z GFS HAS BACKED OFF THE WESTERN

SOLUTION TRANSFERRING INSTEAD TOWARD THE TRIPLE POINT/NEW

LOW...TRENDING TOWARD THE 00Z ECMWF AND QUITE SIMILAR TO THE 00Z

CMC AND MUCH LESS LIKE ITS 06Z GEFS MEAN. WILL CONTINUE TO

SUPPORT A GFS/ECMWF BLEND THOUGH INCLUDE THE 00Z CMC BUILDING SOME

INCREASED CONFIDENCE PARTICULARLY AFTER 24/00Z; CONFIDENCE OVERALL

IS AVERAGE IN THIS BLEND SOLUTION.
