Latest fax pushes this weekends front well out west with a very cold easterly flow into England and Wales by Sunday. The front pivots around Liverpool Bay and Welsh border country before its retreat to Ireland. Probably light rain turning to snow to lower levels as the colder flow cuts in. Maybe Wales and Northwest England could see a  covering from this especially at elevation.

Bye bye Gulf Stream

When I last looked the Gulf Stream was an ocean current - not sure how you are seeing it in that chart - unless the weather expected to give you a downturn in fortune, leading to goodbye personal jet - in which case, commiserations!

Great output again tonight from the gfs and ukmo -10 sub minimum across large areas of the uk. But there is a but coming here to if we look at the gfs 114 chart the Atlantic doesn’t even get past Ireland. Now if I was a betting man I would say ice days with a few wintry flurries near the east facing coasts. Think the air will be that dry and cold we will see some harsh frosts. But I’m certainly not seeing widespread snowfall for large swathes of the uk just yet. :cold:

UKMO is stunning bitterly cold across the SE in particular and EA the T+72 FAX chart with the all important human input is mouth watering. Dare I say maybe Thames streamer territory.

I was wondering this too. Models look very cold with severe frosts and cold but dont show much precipitation.

With the trough there looks more like a channel streamer to be fair, however may be it travelled over us on the way Southwest.

It’s not that. The trough progressed S it looks like it originated from the north. East of IOW generally possible snow band sweeping its way southwards.

So the most major doubter of the reload idea - UKMO - has backed down big-time. Great to see.

Agree with points regarding potential dryness. Possibly best chance is any lingering activity on the boundary moving across as the Azores extends NE and either the easterly reloads again or things go very slack.

If the latter occurs with clear skies and even a slight covering snow on the ground... need I say more?

;)

Strange seeing comments about next week looking dry when actually the models show plenty of wintry potential. Experience may tell you that fronts tend to back westward nearer the time, which could leave some areas high and dry but to actually say it is looking dry on that basis when the models aren't showing that all seems incorrect.

I think it's a fair assessment. Here's the cumulative precip on the EC up until Friday next week. Sure you get your usual coastal showers in the east, and fronts edging into western fringes. But for the majority of the central and southern parts of the UK, there ain't much precip to talk about...

I do think this is underdoing it a tad from any snow showers that do drift in from the east, but my point still stands.

Look at PTB 8! The altlantic at 114 doesn’t even get to Ireland !

With the current trending this is where I reckon we will end up.  Everything shunted slightly further west, High pressure more defined and more northerly placed with a proper easterly wind.

Surely that depends on how much of that precipitation falls as snow though? And things do crop up unexpectedly, so I wouldn't get too hung up on precipitation amounts when the cold spell has not arrived (if it even will).

Yes, if no PPN falls at all, how can it fall as snow?:D

Not denying that things won't crop up unexpectedly. But the point I was responding to was someone disputing that the models aren't showing it dry, they are for the majority. Of course, disturbances may well pop up, but at the moment the output is showing it mostly dry.

I just want to try and keep things level headed in here. It's looking bloody cold yes, but it's certainly not looking like as severe a snowy spell as some are hoping/expecting...yet!

Troughs will pop up from nowhere in any unstable air mass. Far too soon to start looking for any detail regarding snow, surely!!

Well.. further upgrades from the ECM too with a push for Scandi Heights far more evident. Eastwards comes the cold air

Well I can't agree. The majority of models don't look largely dry for the majority of the UK to me. Only the ECM, which is the least progressive with the Atlantic fronts pushing in.

Most of the cumulative precip on GFS in the areas I've mentioned is from Saturday's front which will be rain for the majority. It gives it a lot more oomph than the EC.
