Given the number of 'popular' posts, it would appear the happy boat to the arctic is about to set sail!

i wouldn't say i was as bullish as many in here, but the chances of a period of colder weather has increased this evening, no doubt! Wont labour too much re snap vrs spell, as that's almost irrelevant!

I still consider a return to a more west-east flow the favored long term route towards end of month.

in saying all of that, these scandi blocks can prove to be stubborn, and i suppose its longevity could be sustained! Models have been too progressive in the past to shunt heights too quickly after being established!

the great news from the ens tonight is a westward correction in terms of trough disruption, so hopefully we wont see a huge volume of water being dropped on us! Hugely welcome!

Ignoring the OP, the Control is lovely.

 

 

 

actually glenn, it isnt much different than the op for us. and then it goes all less cold post day 10 and eventually settled under an mlb.

last winter, when we saw these scenarios unfold, we took bets on the precip not making it to the east coast. given the strength of the atlantic, we are not thinking this way. however, it wouldnt take too much westward correction from the cold to our east for this to begin to look possible.

Yep thats true ba... But it's well into the future and all it takes is a little tweaking and who knows what will crop up. Certainly the first time of real interest to be viewing the models non the less.

We are on a really good trend now, with the high pressure to our north and northeast being increased run to run and the Atlantic lows being squeezed further south. Let's hope it holds up through the next few days and all of a sudden we could have a good cold spell starting next week!!

If this low goes under then it's going to be a good run to say the least!!

Am sure even though uppers aren't great on that chart we still have cold conditions at the surface which would mean snow on the front of that shortwave!!

Turns to snow on leading edge likely to stall.

Winter was just on the phone. Said sorry for all the delays but was on his way. Also asked to have COBRA book a reservation through to end of Feb.

Warm air will eventually get mixed out, I'm expecting a Midlands North event, the band will sink SE with rain turning to snow on its back edge.

Important not to take any details in these runs to heart.

 

It is the broad trends that are of importance at the minute.

 

Going to be an interesting few days no doubt. I wonder when the Express will catch wind of the potential??

If we could keep the 18Z and add a little more chill from the east, there would be a snow mountain somewhere in the UK next week. As it stands, most of the snow will be on the mountains and the mountain of flood water will just keep coming further south.

But synoptically, this run is the best for snow potential yet.

A very pertinent post by Nick F earlier this evening about one plausible scenario that could lead to even more rain. To that effect the 18z is very much the way we need to see the output trending, taking the low as far west and south of the UK (within reason) as possible as it heads se.

 

EDIT: Just seen you have quoted the same post above Tamara Posted Image
