MODEL DIAGNOSTIC DISCUSSION NWS HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL PREDICTION CENTER CAMP SPRINGS MD 228 PM EDT THU JUN 21 2012
VALID JUN 21/1200 UTC THRU JUN 25/0000 UTC
MONSOON DEPRESSION OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO... PREFERENCE: 12Z CANADIAN/12Z ECMWF COMPROMISE CONFIDENCE: ABOVE AVERAGE IN TRACK/BELOW AVERAGE IN TIMING
THE 12Z GFS IS ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE MODEL SPREAD WHILE THE 12Z NAM/12Z UKMET LIE ON THE WEST SIDE WITH THIS SYSTEMS LOCATION BY SUNDAY EVENING...WITH THE 12Z CANADIAN THE STRONGEST. THE 00Z GLOBAL ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE IS WELL CLUSTERED ON A 12Z CANADIAN/12Z ECMWF COMPROMISE SOLUTION. DURING THE SHORT RANGE PERIOD...THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BE MOVING NORTH-NORTHWEST WELL TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE COL IN THE DEEP LAYERED FLOW /WHICH IS LOCATED ACROSS FLORIDA/. WHILE THIS SHOULD MEAN AN EVENTUAL STAIR-STEP TRACK TOWARDS TEXAS /WHICH THE DETERMINISTIC AND ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE HAS ONLY OCCASIONALLY EMBRACED DURING THE PAST COUPLE DAYS/...THE GFS HAS OTHER IDEAS PARTICULARLY IN THE MEDIUM RANGE PERIOD. FOR NOW...PREFER TO STAY NEAR THE BEST GLOBAL ENSEMBLE CLUSTERING TO MINIMIZE ERROR WHICH FAVORS A SOLUTION SIMILAR TO A 12Z ECMWF/12Z CANADIAN COMPROMISE WITH A CENTRAL PRESSURE CLOSE TO 1004 HPA WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT ONCE THE RIDGE TO ITS NORTHWEST STRENGTHENS/EXPANDS EASTWARD TOWARDS THE END OF THE SHORT RANGE/BEGINNING OF THE MEDIUM RANGE PERIOD...IT SHOULD BEGIN TO PROGRESS AT A DECENT CLIP TO THE WEST OR WEST-SOUTHWEST. WHILE CONFIDENCE IS RELATIVELY HIGH ON ITS EXPECTED TRACK SHAPE...CONFIDENCE IS BELOW AVERAGE IN THIS MODEL PREFERENCE DUE TO POTENTIALLY LARGE ALONG-TRACK TIMING ERRORS. SEE THE LATEST NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER /NHC/ TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOKS FOR CURRENT INFORMATION ON THIS DEVELOPING SYSTEM.
