The 120hrs chart looked great from my viewpoint, writing was on wall, 140hrs looks superb!

Whilst I agree with most of what you say where are you getting a 1060 Greenland high from?

The ukmo has a mid atlantic high that barely ridges towards Greenland. Though of course it may get there if they did a 168 hrs 

 

 

Hi I think others may have covered it but I'm getting it from the 12z GFS. Admittedly I'm cherry picking a bit but I can't recall a 1060mb GH showing up? Anyone? And with all the right thicknesses too. This is a beaut, and from this everything else (well almost) flows. Or maybe Steve Murr would say that it's the first building block for any sustained cold in the UK:

 

I'm sure this has been referenced many times, but just in case anyone needs reminding, it's well worth a read:

My slight worry now is the potent cold is getting put back with every run, it is now in line with Met Office thoughts re- wed onwards, a few runs ago on some models it was progged earlier, will future runs now start backing the Met office text forecast in terms of longjevity on subsequent runs?

In terms of the disagreements still at day 4, JMA and ECM are almost identical at +96

Good news the ECM is close to the UKMO upstream at T144hrs. It engages the energy off the Azores low further east which is much better than the GFS.

ECM is an okay enough run but the UKMO is firmly on its own and because the 00Z UKMO run showed the trigger low being slow moving and with the GFS persistence of making it a very slow moving low then I would bet strongly on the trigger low being slow moving and tomorrow morning's UKMO run will back down. 

That will mean the cold air is a bit delayed and when it does arrive it will be less potent than the UKMO run. I think unless things are different by morning, its safe to assume this afternoon's run will be wrong.

And it is a fantastic reference too...often use it for guidance in what model output to look for regarding a wintry set up! 

Jeez just shows how time flies!!

Nick the T168 is beautiful...:cold::D

I still prefer the UKMO as it brings in the cold and snow all within T144hrs. The ECM is better than its morning run so far. It will be interesting to see the ECM postage stamps later to see how much support there is for the UKMO output.

I've seen enough here to know that we're OK. The rest of the run is LaLa land anyway! 

 

Its coming folks!

Yes. But only a run or two before that it was a week on Saturday!

Still some big differences between the UKMO and the GFS/ECM with the troughing over the UK at T96hrs.

Strange to see that at just T96hrs. We await the T120hrs, I can't watch!

Yes the UK model gets the cold flow in around 36/48hrs sooner by the looks of it.

UKMO at T96hrs raw chart very similar to the T120hrs fax from last night.

Rukm961.thumb.gif.5562431aaf790eb816f86afax120s.thumb.gif.41d6ced03ea3efb636a9aa

getting that low into the north sea by Monday with the colder uppers into the north earlier than the other 2.

GFS in particular very messy with the complex low pressure area over the UK .

We will still get the colder air eventually but like you Nick i would much rather see a cleaner evolution before any further complications pop up to halt progress to establishing the pattern nationwide.

Now that is a decent chart with a decent block which seems just in the right place over Greenland. Not to west based either which is good news. Now all we need is this chart at T72 not too much to ask is it?
