Looks like it wants to send the high slightly eastwards, potentially northwards, too. Wouldn't it be typical if we got a solid Scandi high when there is almost no residual cold air left over Europe to export over here.

Nooooo

 

If anything ruins a spring in the East it's Easterly or North Easterly winds.

 

Warm enough to give us horrible misty or cloudy days

don't  look deep fantasy world Atlantic  gearing up  late march  20th  onwards http://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/gfse_cartes.php?mode=2&ech=204

I did look but I'm more interested in getting the high building in first and seeing how long it could last.

My thoughts over the past few days have been for a settled mild period giving way to a flow from the north as heights are forced west accompanied  by scandi trough formation, and the models today are certainly hinting at such development as we move into the middle part of the month. The key is the ridging of heights north over the country and elongating in a west-east position enabling trough formation to the NE.

 

In the reliable timeframe a very pleasant spell of weather away from the far NW but it will take until Monday for much of the northern half of the country to join in.

I think you may be correct in your thoughts. N Atlantic blocking/Scandi troughing seems the logical evolution towards mid month.

As much as I like cold and snow, I think it's strutching at straws to say it will turn 'cold' during the end of March when it's the 5th of March. The cold in FI never materialised all winter.

A N/NE'ly flow in March/April is more than capable of producing snow showers if the source is cold enough. In fact, some of the cloud structures that such a flow can produce are very picturesque.

Hmm these retrogression signals very often get toned down by quite a margin, usually to simply transferring core surface heights from the UK/East of UK to somewhere close to Ireland and bring cooler cloudier weather into the east... saw this too many times last summer. Any big movements tend to appear at close range. At the moment I'm happy to enjoy a week or so of pleasant sunny weather with heights close to the UK.

Looks like a solid week of settled weather, perhaps longer in the south, then after that we look to be seeing a changed to a more mixed and average setup with heights to the south west occasionally ridging towards the UK between more unsettled periods of weather.

The high looks to be well positioned with a light south easterly flow for the south and south westerly for the north, looks like there could be plenty of sunny days to come as we never really pick up a flow which can bring plenty of cloud in off the sea.

Captain, 

 

You recon after the warm weather we could pick up any snowy weather or we looking at a return to average conditions with wet and windy weather?

Another superb run from GEM this morning as it continues to live up to its name in producing a gem of a run again with no sign what so ever of a mid month breakdown

 

Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image

 

UKMO remains settled

 

Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image

 

ECM and GFS remain settled till around mid month before a gradual breakdown of the high allowing more unsettled weather to gradually return from the north

 

After a 14 week wait high pressure is going to dominate our weather rather than low pressure the long long wait is almost over

Looks like a nice warmish and dry period in store

Indications of a drift towards average temps and rather more unsettled conditions as the month moves on.

 

Broadly similar farther north apart from the precipation spike in the next days.

ECM concurs with the mean @ 144hrs

trending more zonal @ 249hrs

Nothing dire so pleasantly Spring like for most with a few cool / cold nights possible. Posted Image

All signals from the GFS pressure ensembles continue to point to pressure falling from the 15th across the UK

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 .

Ensembles suggest no real chance of a breakdown until the 15th-17th but as the GEM shows that is by no means guaranteed and could be pushed back. I'm very interested to see how high we can push the CET.

The GEM has really taken to this high pressure thing, hasn't it?! It was being praised a while ago for showing a trough-dominated pattern continuing but since it realized this was wrong it's really gone for it. 

 

this is how it thought sunday was going to pan out:

it's fair to say it's backed away from that now. So, i don't think i'll be buying it's high pressure domination idea now either. GFS and ECM both have a more unsettled outlook in the longer term and that's certainly the way the met office are headed so i think i'll be going with that.

Spring snow is a possibility every year. No reason why this would be any different - that would be fairly typical. To my mind the ridge next week has got to go somewhere and providing it doesn't just sink into Europe it will always open up the possibility of something more unsettled and colder or even properly cold. 

 

Mind you, i'd be happy if it hung around until October now.

t96 unavailable at the time of posting but t120 and t144 from UKMO remain settled with high pressure dominating

GFS remains very settled till mid month before things gradually turn more unsettled and potentially cooler

After this things gradually turn unsettled and cooler

Chilly and potentially wintry FI for 12z GFS, more especially for the North.

Scary how much this is reminding me of 2012. We saw the high slip away West and the jet drive round from the North and dig down. We all know what followed on from then...
