Well things aren't looking too bad. Next week it rather depends on how far the colder air in the NE encroaches SW and brings colder and unsettled conditions, mainly in the midlands and north. God's country looks okay. Of course this is fairy land at the moment so I'm sticking with the seaweed.

Hmm ECM is again going for no cold snap whatsoever

GFS and GEM do go for something colder though for a brief period

Just for once in the last 4 utterly miserable despairing months for coldies, I would love to see a chart like this from the Gfs 00z op run verify even though it's only shortlived, it's sharp. However, if the anticyclone does become centred further to the west / south west of the uk, it would open the door to reloads of cold air from polar regions.

ECM now has no cold snap, I did say not too get to excited as it's FI. The breakdown of the high pressure is being delayed more and more.

Ext ecm now saying no to any cold spell developing, with everything being pushed further east - as we saw all winter. What is of interest, is how cold the eastern us/canada is forecast into the mid term, with colder air once again leaking out into the Atlantic - and we know what that can mean for the UK.

overall, disappointing for coldies. Seemingly, the ens led us up the garden path, again!

Yes, I noticed that forecasts for the NE USA suddenly shifting from +4 to +10C maxes, back down to -10 to -12C with snow.

Plenty of time yet as the models get to grips with the change to cooler more unsettled weather for the last 1/4 of March, Nothing disappointing  this morning, as timing being another week/10 days away, expect many more variations over the coming days. M.E.T are still very confident in there outlooks, will be interesting watching it unfold as usual.. But im not expecting anything other than a typical March affair.

ECM this morning says what cold snap?

UKMO shows pressure just starting to slip south at t144

As people will have learned with last "winter" until any cold snap / spell comes into the t144 range and lower extreme caution should be take at all times regardless of what agreement we have shown

I'm waiting for the Ecm 00z ensemble mean to see how that is trending rather than paying much attention to the op..hoping for a cold snap beyond the rather cloudy benign anticyclonic interval...yep I'm a hopecaster and proud of it!

GEM flies the flag for cold fans this morning in the further reaches:

 

http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gem/runs/2014031100/gem-0-192.png?00

 

http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gem/runs/2014031100/gem-0-240.png?00

 

The latter would set up a prolonged period of colder unsettled conditions.

 

That said, neither ECM nor GFS are that interested in anything other than the briefest of colder incursions;

 

http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gfs/runs/2014031100/gfs-0-192.png?0

 

GFS at T+192 - the cold incursion heads to the North Sea and points east though it would be chilly here

 

http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gfs/runs/2014031100/gfs-0-240.png?0

 

The OP a long way from GEM at this time with the Atlantic powering up and flattening the pattern leaving the south of the UK in a nice ridge. Control is less settled but not dissimilar but I didn't have to go far to find a chart closer to GEM:

 

http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gens/run/gens-1-1-240.png?0

 

ECM, as has been said, doesn't play at all with a colder spell but the T+240 chart teases as per usual:

 

http://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/ecmwf/runs/2014031100/ECM1-240.GIF?11-12

 

Not completely sure where that would take us to be honest.

 

6Z rolling out but the key for me today is to see if ECM is setting a trend which the other models will pick up at 12Z or if it's an outlier and it will move back to GFS this evening.

trouble is the more the "change" stays out in past t+168 (arguably further today) the more spanners can get thrown into the works in the short term. I always liken it to train journeys. The more changes you require the more chance there is for things to go wrong. I still can't believe we'll go the whole of March and April without at least a two day northerly, surely? that would be ridiculous. Wouldn't it?

 

To be honest, for the soaked south and southwest the ECM and GFS this morning are pretty decent for "dryies" !

Yes Frosty, At worst we could be looking at a few Northerly topplers maybe..

Indeed this settled spell however was picked up quite a way out in FI by the models

Yes Gav, as was/has this cooler unsettled spell for over a week now.

 

The settled spell is now upon us for the next few days.. overcast here 3.7c.

A lot of hardcore coldies have already abandoned ship but I'm not ready to leap overboard just yet. I feel there is still a chance of at least one potent cold snap before the ship sinks beneath the waves and at that point I will happily go with the flow until october..I see potential for cold in the latest models. :-)

There IS going to be a breakdown.

There WILL be some colder/cooler weather.

It is NOT going to be dry and fine until October. Anyone who believes it will is delusional just as I would be if I believed there will be no warm sunny dry weather this summer.

Can we keep this topic to actually discussing the model output please - chat about what weather we want to see (or not) needs to be elsewhere, if it has a model slant then a good place is the model banter thread:
