I think TETIS mentioned yesterday that the easterly being forecast does not look like a "classic" one and I have to concur with that to an extent, never looks like its going to be a particularly cold one(e.g -10hpa not making an appearance) and I think some eastern coastal areas may be dissapointed with the ECM 144 hour chart because the uppers are very marginal to say the least. 

 

That said details will no doubt change and there is still uncertainty how the slider low will act so still a lot to play for.

Those are not for the UK.

 

But in the current setup any model output past 36 hours is not cast in stone.

I am quite aware where the De Bilt are for,it was the swing in the output that i was pointing out   :) .-7 to +7 in 12 hours.

 

Cheers West i thought as much and gather that had moved down the country.ECM still fine for you but a tad too far west for me :cray: BUT we all know we will have to wait until Sunday for exact path.Good luck.

Very interesting! ! That biscay low is slightly deeper and further north on the 18z!!

These situations must be very tricky to forecast , 30 miles south and no snow in UK, however if precip is upto the M4 then 10 million people effected (ie poss covering) - hard to tell on these charts coming through now though.

Uppers are NOT everything, if you have dewpoints at or below 0 snow can fall even at -1 850's and there is evaporative cooling as well....

 

Best go and see how the ECM went :)

A mixed bag of EC clusters.... any pronouncements of a secure and swift return to 'mild' conditions need to be taken with pinch of salt. Meanwhile, nearer-term focus needs to be on the late Sat-Sun high WBPT plume curving atop the low running off down into Biscay. *Could* get interesting on N flank of this feature, but wide spread in PPN envelope (e.g. MOGREPS has this anywhere from N France to S Midlands!!)....

 

I always find in these situations with a wide spread its best to take the middle  ground solution,  so that'll be the south coast of England then.

Crikey that's where I live. LOL

But you have chosen one of the mildest charts out of 50 or more possible choices.

However the Northerly is being toned up in terms of cold since yesterday so that will help in sqeezing that "mild" sector. 

 

Regarding the Northerly, it would certainly hold more potential if the Northerly was more NNE'ly than NNW'ly which is the case at the moment, not much time for the orientation to change either but as you can see, there is sometimes some small upgrades in terms of cold.

Slider pretty much idnetical to the 12z!! Think ecm will shift slightly east tomorrow! ! Doesnt necessarily mean a bad thing cos it could be more widespread frontal snow from the ecm; )

I now live on the east coast and how to put this politely?

 

First, I don't want a 'classic easterly' whatever one of those is. The long draw across the north sea is a pain in the proverbial. I'd much sooner have a more continental flow.

 

Second, there doesn't look to be too much marginal about the T144 ECM chart for the east coast. It's a deep freeze:

 
 
 
If between -6C and -8C 850 hPa is now the new marginal we may as well all pack up and move to Iceland.

 

 

Deep freeze for me is when you see more widespread of -10hpa like we are now seeing with the Northerly but each to their own on that one.

 

With winds coming in from the sea, then from experience tells me uppers of -6 to -8 is quite marginal but the details are subject to change anyways 

 

Edit: Too illistrate my point to WiB, at 144 hours the uppers are around -6 with a strong wind off the sea and despite being PPN being over Northern areas, the GFS temp shows 3C! Now he's living on the East Coast maybe he will get to realise that uppers like that are quite marginal especially if your close to the coast.

surely DPs would have a big influence . as long as they are sub zero   -6 uppers would be o,k

True, but my location is not typical in that it struggles with lack of elevation and is sheltered from heavier precipitation and the benefit of evaporative cooling regardless of which direction the precipitation comes from, meaning that it requires everything to be spot on in order to get lying snow. Mild sectors messed up what would have otherwise been good snowfalls from frontal attacks from the NW by washing one away in Feb 2012 and keeping us on the wrong side of a snow line in Jan 2013 from NW to SE England.

so this is your surface cold ahead of the front on the 18z-

 

At this timeframe the front is crossing the W & SW-

 

http://modeles2.meteociel.fr/modeles_gfs/runs/2015011518/102-580UK.GIF?15-18

 

Whats clear is if the euros are correct & it slides through its ALL snow on the NE flank, if it slides east the S & SE will turn to sleet & rain.

 

Im still set on a sliding track more SE through the UK....

I agree there are colder charts, but that one shows the earliest key interaction between Atlantic weather fronts and polar air.
