One has to move quite fast to keep up with the continuing pattern changes at the moment. The intense high cell continues to move west and weaken and becomes a strongly anomalous ridge over north east N. America into Greenland whilst to the south east and south of this upper trough and negative anomalies dominate the eastern and central Atlantic. Thus quite a complex and very slack upper flow to the north west/west of the UK whilst the stronger westerly flow to the south into Iberia resulting in a south westerly flow over the southern half of the UK. Albeit there is not total agreement on this

So essentially this would portend low pressure fairly static over, or very adjacent, to the UK so tending unsettled with systems likely to track up from the south west but the detail of all of this will need to be sorted by the det runs, As also the temps but the percentage is still generally below average but not excessively so.

The 0700 analysis, even in a sparsely populated chart, shows snow showers a fair way west in the north and the Midlands

Edit

I see I don't know east from west again :wallbash:

Thanks very much for the above.... can you post a link to a " snow accumulation/ over time " out to 72 or 120 hrs so I  can see what to expect  over the  course  of this event

Euro 4 from 00z Tuesday to 00z Wednesday

I still think around the Hull area will be the sweet spot for some heavier snow tomorrow morning

I'm afraid I don't know a link for this, others probably do, apart from RBs site

http://www.met.reading.ac.uk/~brugge/web_snowdepth.html

Or this but I've no idea whether it is working

Thank you Knocker for posting in here. You seem to be keeping this thread going almost single handed which is a shame at times like this.

I'll second that. Makes such a pleasant change from the childish hysterics in other sections to have something informative rather than what "we" want/need to happen. Thank you Knocker.

Thanks for the comments above

The uncertainty regarding the end of the week is illustrated quite well booking at last night's fax for 1200 Thursday and this morning's update for the same time. The updated 12 Friday chart may well be  the key. :)

I'll third that - despite the relatively low traffic to this thread I hope that the mods keep it going on a permanent basis.

I’ve learned a lot from you Knocker and also hope this thread will become permanent.  Thank you for the professional way you present your regular posts and for the time and effort that must go into producing all this information - I notice you always seem to be up to greet the 0z outputs and have often wondered if you can survive on very little sleep.

I too would like to thank Knocker for this thread; I'm sure I'm one of a multitude of lurkers who value his input

Although there are some very good correspondents on the main Model thread - John Holmes, Tamara, Singularity come to mind - in general there's far too much traffic from folk passing confirmation bias off as measured analysis

Very surprised to see ARGEPE miles off with the convective showers at just T6! GFS and even EURO4 similarly not picking most of them up:

arpegeuk-1-6-0.png?26-11

Looking through all of the models on Meteociel, the only one really picking them properly is the HIRLAM. This looks much more like the actual radar (except it's wrong in Devon I think):

hirlamuk-1-4-0.png?26-10

This is the state of play on HIRLAM by Wednesday morning - a covering of snow for virtually the whole country to add to the more substantial snow in the east. Will be worth checking in 48 hours time!

Was just looking at 6z arpege and thinking the exact same. Euro4 the same really but we know already they struggle with showers. Arpege been very good with frontal snowfall though recently so worth seeing it’s output for Thurs/Fri

As mentioned earlier the updated fax today for 1200 Friday should be interesting given the difference between last night's and the 0600 GFS

So the little wave/low swinging in tonight off the N/Sea is a Polar Low. Should be interesting watching it's movements & developments this evening as you say K.

That's interesting Polar, has it been officially identified as such?
