The trop response varies . Sometimes the reversal propagates down quickly , it’s also effected by the current state of the AO.

Theres a stronger response in terms of the NH pattern if you’re in a more positive or neutral AO state which does seem logical because you in a sense have more explosive energy.

If you’re already in a negative AO phase you have less energy to play with .

The current state of the AO at onset of the SSW looks around neutral so hopefully a bigger shuffling of the NH pattern.

It’s certainly showing  positive around 12th  

But there is a clear direction of travel post SSW

Worth keeping an eye over France too to see if the system over there throws a trough north - November 2010 style

Well noted MWB- And for once micro mild sector could do us a favour(south east).. to give precip a nudge and

I think that one would expect an almost immediate trop response. After all the vortex in the strat has been weakened by a typical wave 1 top down process. However, the wave 2 cut is trop induced with the surge of warm air right into the heart of the Arctic as demonstrated below:

ECMOPNH00_24_1.thumb.png.cd0090db8f18c660a42ffabfbc93d92c.png

 

This propagates splitting upward into the strat starting at the lower levels first - day 4 at 100hPa (lower strat) the split is evident 

ecmwf100f120.thumb.gif.4b82937e97a07c7ad66278448792c2c9.gif

 

But at 10hPa only the beginnings of a split are in evidence

ecmwf10f120.thumb.gif.3854229f3f208c093897c005aac1c92d.gif

But by day 7 the split and warming are well underway at this level too

ecmwf10f192.thumb.gif.b7941b4afdeb3c3bf1aa72f6706c26f6.gif

 

And look at the contrast between days 7-8 with the mean zonal mean winds as the upper strat vortex gets ripped apart

ecmwfzm_u_f192.thumb.gif.f8b735b8b0b13786c3bd68bef0a7a87a.gif

ecmwfzm_u_f216-1.thumb.gif.123874f59c00bf9077c8837c1dfaa8f8.gif

 

And by day we see further descending of these negative u anomalies suggesting an immediate trop response from day10+

 

ecmwfzm_u_f240.thumb.gif.69284411d01a9271a7bf130b371c8dd7.gif

If the MJO stays aligned and the NINA dips then we are in as good as place as any to benefit from any subsequent high lat blocking.

 

 

Very interesting. Probably good for somewhere in Europe. Thanks.

On the 12z Thursday's front looks a bit further east, with the cold air ahead of it further east. However, the air behind the front is colder (-8 uppers more widespread). 

Blimey. Where is everyone?!

That’s even better news then. Should be a bigger trop response.

Some 148 members viewing the chat right now!

On topic you're right, even though the timing of the front is a good 6 hours in front of the 0z, the warmer uppers seemed to be more efficiently mixed out bringing quite heavy snow to central areas. If we can see the warm uppers mix out a little earlier we could end with a widespread event.

The South-East contingent is busy radar watching and running to the window every 30 seconds. 

That and the fact the 12z GFS has barely changed at all from it's previous run, there's not a whole lot to comment on.

Quite amazed how few changes there are up +180. Here we begin to see a much deeper low develop near Newfoundland bringing greater WAA into Greenland which could benefit us later on; in the realms of FI tho.

There's a definite trend setting that is showing the storm track being pushed further north than modelled a couple of days ago:

gfs-0-168.png?12gfs-0-198.png?12gfs-0-222.png?12

As such it may not even end up being that unsettled - a bit wetter and windier in the NW, but nothing too noteworthy. After mid-month is when the real fun and games may begin, just have to take one step backwards in order to take two forwards!

Looking on ukmo nothing wintry after Tuesday ,Icelandic low and Azores High look to be in charge bringing Westerly winds and only snow on high ground.back to chasing rainbows.Pass me a bucket:nonono:

 

 

 

 

We will be chasing obliterated PV blobs soon enough, fear not

With the ‘warm sectors’ still evident, I suspect most will end up watching week 2 with more interest than week 1

Definitely watching the second half of GFS runs now with interest to see what may happen.

OK, 15th February.  Let's make a note of the date and see how this pans out over the next few days.

Oh go on then, why not.  How about this at 384.  A mere 16 days away.  Damn, Day 10 beat me to it.
