I see a sub -15C ensemble member has appeared. Anyone know which perb this is as my eyesight isn't what it used to be.:sorry:

 

You mean the one that has got it spot on Dave? ?

  • There have been quite a few January 1987 style GEFS perturbations during the last few days..I'm in no way saying it will happen but we must be in with a chance..for me it's nervous excitement wondering what we will end up with from this SSW.:):cold:

I know it has (quite rightly) been posted about (and drooled over) several times already but here it is again. P15 really is something to behold.:cold:

I'd much rather the ens keep on showing (as they have done) favourable HLB set ups than the Op being consistent with no ens support.

It would be nice to see a bit of consistency now with the ECM Op over the coming days. That's a big ask though with a setup like this but it will be interesting to see which model op nails it first with the trend to the eventual initial set up, as the upper warming starts to influence the troposphere.

I think you will find that the problem is the smaller daughter vortice which splits on the Asian side. One chunk rotates clockwise around the polar block and instead of heading towards Europe (which was originally modelled on gfs fi - remember the consistent ops showing HLB)  it heads closer to the pole in the mid strat (and obviously lower down too) and phases with the Canadian vortex extension. hence, no room for high heights over the pole within 7/8 days and possibly a few after that. 

 

Thanks for that assessment.

So now I remain surprised but for a new reason; that a vortex lobe is able (or at least modelled as able) to head poleward so soon after a major SSW.

I don’t think that fits the script of the most similar SSWs (in terms of position of peak warming) of past. Most puzzling.

 

Edit: Using 30 hPa as guidance I can see that it remains more separated on the GFS 06z compared to 00z at +8 days:

Differences are then more considerable a day later:

npst30.png npst30.png



There also seems to be a link to the strength of the attack on the Canadian vortex which is stronger on the 06z, so hopefully the migration of the weak Scandinavian vortex was just a wobble.

Of course a greater bridge of higher heights than what the 06z shows is desirable but there's enough time for such adjustments.

so... we're looking for the low thats over us here-

gfsnh-0-132.thumb.png.575e7df907266bf7cfa343222c99675e.png

to split from the main vortex and not drag another one with it around the 144-168 timeframe. if that happens we can at least briefly breathe a sigh of relief...

Whilst we impatiently wait to see what the SSW delivers our little island, we will see nationwide sub -8 850's from Sunday evening into Monday... from a Westerly !! :shok: With it will be plenty of wintry showers!

 

In need I would urge folks to occasionally look up from their computer on Sunday while they are looking at T240 T384 charts and SSW.

Sunday 6pm

Those who were excited by p15 on the gefs 06z, that chunk of low heights is an actual piece of discarded e Asian vortex - work out the chances of it arriving on our doorstep from many thousands of miles away in a neg AO environment

Think we would see the Atlantic ridge developing at 168 so I will be interested to see that when someone posts it.

GEM getting there.

i would agree that sunday is when we should start to see a clear path. by tomorrow, we see a complete stratospheric split-

gfsnh-10-30.thumb.png.85e5ebbe6e6f27b0b20ef605f1aa343c.png

then on sunday, zonal winds are slammed into reverse-

u_65N_10hpa_gefs.thumb.png.dce28836416d3fb9740b76d1eca80bd6.png

and the polar vortex meets its final oblivion of the season.

if that doesn't get us a decent end to winter then...

avoox.thumb.jpg.0e84ae30cacbe1bf3019e20a8791d036.jpg

And according to this Tweet from @MetmanJames, it’s the most significant reversal at this time of year on record. 

“If the GEFS ens mean is to be believed (and the spread is small enough to support this), this will be the most easterly the stratospheric winds have been on the 10hPa layer in mid February in the period 1980-2016.”

GFS12z looks pretty poor to me, everything seems to be getting messier and messier on the GFS. Troughs phasing across the Atlantic...

Ian F retweeted this yesterday so make lf of it what you will. 

 

Highlighting for part about cold pooling from Asia.

I actually found that gif rather underwhelming in terms of depth of cold that comes west when i saw it.

This is worth the entry fee alone the lump of PV across the ARCTIC may feed and support our HLB as the weather starts flowing in reverse in the NH

Here you go it's a recurring theme the Eastern Asian lobe feeding under the block westward

Distinct lack of low heights to our North East, WAA to the Pole , opportunities for height rises to the north east perhaps...
