Very true Col! The 06z was probably an outlier, but the interruption
to the consistency begs a couple more runs and agreement from the ECM
before a forecast.

Yes, I am beginning to understand how you approach these10
day forecasts. It's all about consistency and ultimately 'confidence'.
If you get a run that suddenly goes against what the recent runs
have been showing then that confidence is shaken and it takes a
few more runs showing the original sceanario to get that confidence
back to it's original level.
That run *could* be an outlier, but then it *could* depict what the
weather actually does!

Of course professional forecasters don't have that luxury. Customers want
forecasts and they want them now!
