yeah but in these situations , features do usually seem to turn up at the last minute , such as secondary lows creeping down the irish sea , polar lows in the north sea , or even lows originating from the azores bumping into the cold air from the SW . as wella s the confection potential with the rather higher than normal ssts .... I never take ppn charts serious out of 48 hrs ...

Model Output Discussion 1200 hrs 15/11/14

Longer term , the main difference between the gfs 6z and the 12z , is the 6z weakens the block to our East , where 12z keeps it 1055mb .The longer we can keep that block to our East , the more time we will have for low pressure systems to dig South East and get an eventual retrogression . -

Going back to this , As I think what the Models have done is what I spotted on Friday . Them uppers are really building to our South now and any Southerly flow will draw them closer .I am leaning towards a Warm start to May now , let's just hope some Warmer weather get's here in time for the bank holiday . -

Sorry Frosty , although I am a fan of your comments , especially in Winter , all I am seeing is the same thing that has happened with Cold shots all winter , it is getting more and more Watered down , and High pressure is moving in from the West. Only good thing I can see is that another Cold spell that could rapidly end up being another hot and Sunny spell , which at this time of year is good, The 6z is starting to look much more like ECM in the reliable . -

Well the GFS continues this morning , with what can only be described as the Coldest Northerly for at least a year , and it now creeps further into High Res .Snow even for the South from some of the GFS charts this morning , if it comes off quite a spell for late April.. -

Well it is looking like this settled spell is now coming to an end , but I have to say for us in the South West it has been the Coldest spell of the Winter so far , Max temps of around 4-7 deg and Fog lasting most of the day . We got one nice day , last Sunday and that was that , Fog and cloud ever since , The difference was sometimes over 15 deg between South East England and South West. Going by current charts , we need better ones than are currently on show to see any meaningful Snow South of the MIdlands , and am also mindful that the P/V energy is still very strong and imagine the Pattern currently shown will end up further East , HP just does not want to establish over Greenland this year . All we can hope is we do not return to a flooding situation . -

There is still a fair few ensemble members wanting to bring Colder air in as early as the 15th , I expected them to lessen by now, but if anything signal getting stronger ... Would enjoy the next 5 days as any longer will be a bonus, but needless to say no support for the Warm weather to carry on past 10 days . -

Massive dip in the 850's on the GFS Ensembles from Mid Month , many reaching the -10 line again, Remember Northerly's and Easterly's are more common in March / April , so a chance of some late Snow may still be a possibility this year . -

Well no comments on the Models , Can see why , settled spell not looking as good this morning , with both GFS and ECM bringing back unsettled conditions. Usually the case as soon as the METO update changes , so do the Models. -

I wish the Gem would come on side, It is still insisting this settled spell isn't done and dusted -

Well have a good feeling about it , 3 months is plenty of time for PV domination , time for a change ... Would love to live in the Midlands over the next few weeks . -

Yes you could almost be mistaken for thinking a Cold outbreak is round the corner .. Will check the CFS in a minute to see what it thinks ... Hope this doesn't turn into Euro's V GFS as IMO Euro's look much better from a Cold point of view. Maybe we can still squeeze 1 more wide spread Snow chance out of this Winter , it is just about possible under the right conditions. -

Well IMO UKMO and ECM have taken the Colder route, and first week of March looking quite Wintry compared to recent weeks ... -

Current trend seems as per Met Office, Cold NW'ly with Snow showers , NW / Cheshire Gap sort of area , with sunshine in between. Followed by low pressure systems trying to come in from the West after a brief ridge crosses SE . Only half trend of note this weekend , is the PV seem's to want to move East again during week 2 . -

6z Continuing with a blocking signal , now in Early Fi , with the NW probably feeling the effects first , be really interesting to see how this plays out .... -

Maybe being a long range model it was just a month to early , You got to admit were due a pattern change after 3 Months of Atlantic dominance . Just will depend in what form this takes , although I suspect any Cold spell that does start to show off will start off with High pressure building over the UK , Drying things out . -

Have noticed CFS keeps trying to give us the Coldest Spring on record , Be something to keep an eye on as it keeps coming up with it over and over again , with plenty of -10 850's about even mid April . -

Yes and it wouldn't sustain anyway. just look at the strength of the PV again , until that calms down were not going to get anywhere from a Coldies point of view. -

Interesting ECM +240 , although im not quite sure how it manages that going by the rest of the run ,
