Well as a southerner it's a pretty good update. Much better than most winter's. 

At least things are finally on the move so who knows what will happen. Southerly tracking lows /stalling fronts could bring all sorts of goodies. 

They are talking weeks away anyway.

Which Glosea update is this as the January update had lots of northern blocking?

its flipped, not necessarily to a mild outlook - but to a more average one.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 30 Jan 2019 to Wednesday 13 Feb 2019:

Cold but changeable conditions will be in place at the start of the extended outlook with spells of strong winds and rain, turning to snow at times. Overnight frosts are likely and snow, mainly over higher ground in the north, but with an increased risk to lower levels. The details of any disruptive snow remains uncertain. Milder, wetter interludes are possible, most likely in the south but with these comes an increased risk of snow and ice further north.

Don't Panic there has been a mistake correct version below.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 30 Jan fo Wednesday 13Feb 2019

The period will start cold with High Pressure over Scandinavia Temperatures

By day will struggle to get above freezing with penetrating overnight frost

Disruptive snow will start to affect all Regions and some locations could

Be cut off by severe drifting thanks to the strong Easterly winds these conditions

Are expected until the end of the forecast period and may be beyond..

How do we know it's flipped? Not sure that tweet the other day was from a reliable source...

I thought it only updated once a month though?

There's not much point in looking at the ECM, UKMO, GFS, GFSP, GEM, EPS Ens, GEFS, EC46, et al. if a paragraph of vague words with attendant uncertainty is all that's needed. 

It shouldn't be dismissed, but nor should it be considered the one true path to enlightenment.

Really ?? You deduced that from this outlook ??

Er yes. They talk about fronts spreading South East, indicating the "weather" is coming from the North West or the polar maritime Atlantic, I doubt that direction deliver widespread cold and snow across the country.

ECM 0z questionable in the lower strat - see bluearmy's post in strat thread, its over for this next few weeks - its not over for the rest of winter but if we dont get a scandi high in early - mid feb then we are looking at last knock ins - i don't mind a belting in March but most people on here don't like those.

Only in its latest op run

The 46 was run on yesterday’s 00z 

fwiw, glosea is the best model re the strat but is it the best re lower strat ?? 

The reaction to that update is pretty over the top imo —- the ec46 looked a bit less deep on T2m cold weeks 3 and 4 but they are mean numbers and if anything, this brings the likelihood of big snow events more into play- I would rather see two or three of these over a two week period than two weeks of dry cold continental flow or sunny frosty conditions 

Note the phrase

Milder, wetter interludes are possible,

Hardly is ‘game over ‘ comment from Exeter. 

Everyone - hold your nerve .......

So if this is correct looks like the much championed EC46 from last night is a bust. Great

Not necessarily, it's just that perhaps our interpretation was wrong. The anomalies may turn out to be just not anomalous enough that's all.

People’s reading of these updates is bewildering. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, if you want cold and snow. It’s little change from previous updates, just more detail, and it does match the ECM seasonal model.

Absolutely stupid reaction to it from some in here.

If you’re in the west then you may take an imby viewpoint on it .... fwiw, these 15 dayers generally only reference to day 10 unless they specifically talk about ‘late in the period’ 

to day ten, the general flow of fronts is north to south 

anyway - there seems to be a lot of ‘hysteria’ around these Exeter updates today so best to ‘retreat to higher ground’

I think too much faith is given to LRF models . GLOSEA may be one of the best , however since October its flagged Feb 19 as having a strong HLB signal which it held onto throughout Nov , Dec and upto 2 weeks ago. Now 2 1/2 weeks to Feb it downgrades that signal , we just arent there regards how computers model chaos , My fear is that EC46 may be leading us up garden path as we know ECM tends to do over amplifaction

Proper indication of the drained  Sister lobe being upon us in a cold air mass.

Could be fun and games Midlands north

So you have links into Exeter? How do any of us know exactly what Exeter are using at any time to produce any forecast.

Given the uncertainty, the MO are just covering all bases. They have always maintained that milder air may make inroads to parts of the south - usually indicative of waves of low pressure moving along the channel. This is a good thing if you want frontal snow... 

indeed! could give big snow amounts in places central belt at least

Hanging on the slight wording differences from one update to the next isn't going to do anyone any good!
If you want to get upset and lament the lack of snow opportunities you've had, or ramp up the snow potential, the chat, moans banter and ramps thread is the one for you.
