Model output discussion - 7th January onwards
Chris K replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Glad to see GFS improvements going against the ICON... what a ride this winter has been in terms of model watching -

Chris K replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
That Azores high nudging into Iberia has been the bane of this winter so far, it hasn't had the decent opportunity to edge far enough North and instead keeps toppling over or to the SW of the UK as we get closer to T+0. I am still hopeful for something down the line, given the background signals and MetO updates, and await this evenings runs from behind the sofa... The general theme of heights lowering in parts of Europe is still a positive, I feel. -

I have found that in the past, when we get scenarios likes this, there is generally a movement towards a middle-ground solution over the next 4-5 days. However until all main models agree it is difficult to judge. -

Really enjoy these gifs, as it shows how quickly the fluid dynamics of various levels of the atmosphere can change over a period of time. -

Chris K replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Probably just a little too far SW to see much today, but we did just have a brief shower as it develops and trundles NE. -

That band would be where I would favour main activity later. I was more on about isolated surface based storm risk in the SW quadrant of the UK.- 3,835 replies

Some showers seem to be forming across some parts of SW & C/S England on radar. Most likely these will remain isolated in this area, but could chuck out a couple of surprise thundery showers as the afternoon progresses.- 3,835 replies

Can hear that lot rumbling to my South. Pleased we got something as these showers head up the country for what looks like an active afternoon coming up for areas North of here.- 3,835 replies

Reverse psychology worked - Mother nature deciding to give a morning treat - rumbles of thunder here N of Bristol suddenly. Looking good for those N/NE of here this afternoon with how quickly these are developing.- 3,835 replies

Then it reignited as it went into Wales.. Parcels of weaker instability I guess? Might get lucky from the showers developing to the SE this morning.- 3,835 replies

Love how it all faded away to my south only to all kick off about 40 miles North again.....frustrating this storm malarkey. Maybe something tomorrow morning here as the AROME model seemed to do well tonight....- 3,835 replies

Is anything else likely to head towards the W country? The direction of sferics looks promising along the S coast but always seems to die of death by the time it gets here I also think steering flow is forecast to change as the night progresses to a more N/NE?- 3,835 replies

What I initially thought was heading this way now looks like staying just to the South of me as they head West. Hoping something develops a bit later behind.- 3,835 replies

Parts of the W country may get something from the rash of showers developing to our SE. Keeping an eye on the ones around Salisbury at the moment.- 3,835 replies

Yea that is what I was thinking but I guess it always comes down to now-casting in these set ups. Fingers crossed. Does have another batch of thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon further to the NE.- 3,835 replies
