The UKMO is just stunning! Amazing upgrade compared to what it was showing 24 hours ago.

A comparison between both the 06Z and the 12Z GFS below at 168 hours. Almost virtually indentical, although the 12Z GFS does have slightly better penetration of colder 850 hPa temperatures filtering in from the North and North-East, plus the Atlantic High Pressure is a tad further West. A slight upgrade in that respects, and maybe a chance of a few wintry/snow showers in the East :)

GFS 12z looking much better on this run. You can see the high sitting further west over the Atlantic. Amplication better too as stretching up to Greenland. As the high has a better tilt the winds sit more NE than E bringing the risk of snow showers, possibly colder too. Good consistency I must admit.

You can also see a slightly weaker jet to the north of the high on the 12z. So better in every sense!

I must say, that is an absolute perfect placement of the High-Pressure cell there too, couldn't have drawn a more perfect chart for the start of a new weather year. If such charts are still being predicted in a couple of days henceforth I'll be very interested, just not getting too excited yet.

Yes, the 12z GFS really is the cold-pornographer out in FI at the T200+ plus mark. Though what that really suggests in terms of a significant change in upstream signal, remains to be seen.

Loving the charts at the mo, but not getting sucked in, need another 2+ day's and if we are still seeing great charts for the 1st of the month onwards, then maybe just maybe this is our time!

lets see what the models look like in 2 days time been on this roller coaster for to many years

 

Yes, indeed. I think a toppler northerly is pretty much nailed-on, though its a question as to how quickly the trough ebbs away and is filled in by height rises from the west. 24hrs? 48?hrs I'm going for a slightly more extended toppler than yesterdays GFS charts were showing, as opposed to the previous ECM. What happens after that, with the High directly over the UK or slightly to the North of it; remains very much in the balance. But with significant cold trapped under that high, it could still produce some significant ice-days in some places.
