Surprised no one has commented on the GFS ensembles, a LOT of them are showing a channel low undercut (or at least close to), here are all of them!

Anyway the thing that strikes me about a lot of these runs is the number of them which leave the UK in a slack cold air mass because the Atlantic is too weak.

Is it onto something? or will the ECM make me look silly?

EDIT: I see the control has been discussed above however.

Would this be an indication that Russia would be under high pressure ? 

To me that would indicate, northerly flow over western Europe and a southerly flow over Russia ie low pressure over Scandi or a trough to our east.

Happens in spring when we get a northerly flow, sometimes eastern Europe can get a heatwave at the sametime.

I think the idea of lows sliding southeast into our in-situ cold pool at the end of next weekend into week 2 is increasing..but before that..a potent arctic blast develops from the north during thursday and then fri and sat we are in a true arctic flow with snow showers and frosty, icy conditions..lovely stuff!☺???:cold-emoji:

I know things are not desperate but I thought I’d post the mighty Navgem. ?

Thank God it's the NAVGEM - rain for the majority on that run.

Has the BOM gone-off yet?

If GFS is right with the undercut and if that low does track SE as we might expect then that snow storm that was in the output might creep back in just for a later date.

Yep, it may not be prevalent on the ops right now, but it would take a relatively small shift in flow upstream to reintroduce this scenario. Certainly one to watch.

I also agree with your thoughts regards the GFS handling on the Atlantic low. It looks plain wrong the way it drops south as it does, I posted earlier why, should it transpire, it would be a bit of a spanner in the works for us. Short term at least. There is so much potential, the next opportunity won't betoo far away by the looks of things.

Yes, tracking too far north and east

Absolutely!

But, before we all get over-excited, forecasting northerlies with possible slider lows has always been fraught with danger...

I think it was New Year 1980, when the old Farmers' forecast predicted a week of sometimes heavy, drifting snow for pretty-much the whole country...Of course it didn't pan-out quite like that: by midday Monday, the cold air had been displaced by the very 'slider low' that was supposed to cause much of the snow. Instead of 'sliding' it just wended its way from west to east!:cold-emoji:

Clear mild sector moving from the north on GFS, Thursday night, only places to see snow off this are 500m plus, but FI yet, so hope better charts to come, but this is ugly!

Lol it will be back edge snow and possibly alot of it.

ECM is much cleaner and likely now.

Gefs is phenomenal incredible run.

This could be a very interesting very cold spell and fairly close to Christmas.

Heights building in the right areas north for cold to extend

things have moved on a fair bit in the 37 years of forecasting if i can remember right this area had some 6 feet drifts at that time but it does look good this time for at least 3 days of snow even at lower levels further south

ECM 12z at 144 hours. Very cold and probably dry for many as high pressure nudges in from the east. Snow showers continue in the east. A low to the north west hopefully going to slide south east.

And it slides!

looks great alignment for central/midlands UK

Uppers aren't great. Might be ok with the cold at the surface having built up for a few days though?
