Let's just remember with the charts if they look too good to be true then they probably are. If it does all come crashing down towards the weekend don't get too disheartend. Still plenty model output to come over next few months.

Ian Fs thoughts would be good to hear, hard to get a good idea of most likely outcome as so many options. Long term nothing particularly great seems to be a possibility just yet, the best shot of cold does seem to be Xmas day or just after.

Potential for our first proper cold snap next week is growing and a white Christmas is a strong probability if we are in a cold NWly airflow mid to late next week which currently is the form horse. Let's not forget it will turn cold later this week too so mild weather is not bossing the outlook at all..could we have our first white Christmas for 4 years..fingers and toes crossed.

No Turkey for you now aj  :wink:

 

The Models continue for a cold spell around Christmas, And are much keener to push aj's 'ridge' further North, There will be many variations over the coming days so Model watching at it's best.. Lets hope it builds to a prolonged cold spell, Or at least put's us somewhere for a better push. Tonight's runs will be interesting, Let's hope it keeps the theme. Nice to see the thread buzzing again  :)

The recently updated Meto 6-30 day forecast regards next weeks cold interlude as a snap followed by a return to a milder zonal flow. They also advise of temperatures around or Slightly above average and have removed the possibility of a colder incursion in the new year . Quite bizarre given the latest 12z cycle runs but emphasising again the need for monitoring trends rather than focussing on every run.

Some clarity from "those in the know" would be most welcome at this juncture however ?

Nice one Old Met Man, hope your hunch comes off against all odds. The fairly strong Baroclinic zonal developing to the north of the Azores high looks like creation of convergence and ultimiately the formation of low pressure system into Southern Britain that the GSF (PARA ) has aspired too over the latest runs. Not too un similar to what your instincts were a few days ago with a resultant NEer. Its a start.

Thanks Carinthian. Such situations can be very finely balanced. Quite rare are the classic setups like the one I mentioned the other day from 1978 - hell of a blizzard that was! Too often the warm Atlantic air will push into the cold air and win, not before dumping a load of snow. It's a shame they don't last longer!

I'm curious really as to why the GFS keeps producing these kind of scenarios, even though they change run to run. Let's see how the models deal with the run up to Christmas, which is still itself a bit open at this stage.

Do you work for Weatherbell Knocker?

 

Anyway a messy potentially wintry outlook ahead, the GFS looks shortwave mad and not particularly conclusive for snow further south. All dependent on the track of these features but going by past experience its rarely the south benefits from these setups, we definitely need these features to track as far south as possible for the south to get in on the fun but until then its Northern UK that may take the brunt of any wintry potential.

We can see how the vortex is placed in a much more favorable place for us

Some previous EPS members showed similar developments (to NCEP-ENS) around 26-28th. Being watched, of course, albeit westerly mobility - with some NW (possibly more N'rly) phases as signalled across all suites, some more pronounced than others - characterises the anticipated broad closure of December. GloSea signals for reduced zonality by end of month has weakened, thus less confidence (which was already fairly low anyway) re early Jan. Nonetheless, we do expect some evidence for this (zonality waning) to remain but whether blocking per se emerges by/into early Jan is very unclear. That's it in a nutshell.

 

 

Hi Ian, thanks for the update.

Could you tell us how GloSea  has performed re Atlantic based blocking signal in recent past events?

For example did the signal wax an wane at similar time-frames or was it stronger and more consistent?

I am not in the know but the ensembles are basically showing the current pattern continuing till the end of December at least. However variations in the Atlantic/zonal flow may allow for more amplified ridges & troughs. The hi-res runs are hinting at that at the moment for around xmas week with possibly a Northerly/NW'ly, but at this range and with only some support from its ensembles, it could all change. In fact some of the op runs are showing (IMO) nearly the best case scenario for this setup, so downgrades are very likely.

omeone asked me did the anomaly charts show the start of the cold spell in 2009 or was it 2010, can you tell me which one please, lost your post, I 'think' I have found the data for 2010 in my files for a pdf?

cheers
