Model output discussion - Post SSW - Will it turn cold?

[frosty ground]

The Icon brings a front over the UK then sends it back west.

It really does come to something when a cannon fodder model is far more consistent than the big 3 have managed combined. The fact ICON still takes that shortwave and drops it Southwards is encouraging and something we want to see the other models begin to pick up too. 

GFS is rolling out but I've lost all interest in that model now, it's been more useless than a rock sat in the garden.

Yes, the 850's are colder (slightly) by 108hrs.

 

And within that time frame...is a significant route'ing!!!

Yes, but if it comes into line with ICON it will ease a lot of tension in here!

Surely the cold weather is coming now as the met office update  this afternoon is still the same with it turning much colder with snowfalls end of next week

 

they are obviously going with their model and mogreps must be showing the same signal ,ignorne the gfs and ecm then it seems

It wouldn't even be mentioned if the big 3 were showing what people want to see happen. 

The ensembles are solidly behind a blocked cold pattern though, it's only really the OPS that aren't showing it.

So compared to the 06z that little low had adjusted south, bringing it in line with the 00z JMA for example. That run then sent the system into C. Europe to act as the 'trigger low' for a quick route to the cold easterly.

Will GFS do the same? It really should...

...and you know what, it just might be on the way to doing so!

[weirpig]

Was it Michael Angelo  or Leonardo  that once said Kowabunga         Icon a peach on it 12 z run  

[bluearmy]

GEM is less ridgy to our north and less shortwavy to our east - still middle ground but less enthusiastic than the 00z run by T100

 

[SMU]

finally a pidgeon step from the GFS

trigger low appears -

the first steps...

Bitterly cold -10 Uppers in parts of the country at 162 hours on ICON

[BlueHedgehog074]

Don’t particularly like to cherry pick charts from the Model tree (been guilty of doing it before, mind), but the 00Z NAVGEM seems to be another model (just like the 00Z UKMO) that unearths an Easterly/North-Easterly within the 6+ day period. Examples used from 120, 144, 168 and 180 hours.

Apologies if these charts have been posted by others already. But the NAVGEM can feel left out at times and can do with a bit of attention... despite it not being the best performing model.

Unless stronger support occurs within the 6+ day timeframe for a Polar Continental Easterly to occur, then I’m gonna resist all forces from the likes of the 00Z UKMO, 00/06Z ICON and 00Z NAVGEM to knock me into the whirlpool of continental cold and snowy excitement! ?

[Singularity]

 

Such a tiny bit sharper with the ridge.

Yet that's all it's taken to get the shallow low edging into Europe.

Admittedly this is as 'only just' as the model could possibly have managed - the low is so shallow and in no rush to get to Central Europe - but as a trend it's good to see .

At this point it's most similar to the 00z ECM and GEM. So either a tragic or a fantastic run coming along depending on what happens with the US and Atlantic troughs.

Improvement of the high on icon at t165. Better easterly and colder uppers.

Seen worse charts   Icon 180z  

[SMU]

So then for the haters, The IKON is going to own the GFS here around the s/wave

[SLEETY]

Ice days on the icon it looks like ,gfs ecm credibility on the line this afternoon,especially after the met update

[bluearmy]

From a coldie perspective

I’m going to say that the ukmo will not be as good as the 00z run was 

i’m going to say that the ec will be better than the 00z run was 

There is your envelope !

a good day for ukmo to be delayed !!

So GEM has that little low splitting away from the trough by the Azores that recent ECM runs have used to really shove at the blocking high. It's also been a lot more progressive up to this point than the 00z.

Trough disruption N of Scandinavia should allow the blocking further afield to linkup and start sending the deep cold across, but will the blocking by the UK hold on far west enough for us to benefit within the working week?

Perhaps not.
The US-Atlantic trough interaction has failed on this run so it's heading down the ECM 00z route. Oh well! All we can do now is see what GFS comes up with while considering the UKMO once that shows its face.

ukmo  is out at 96 on wetter sorry can't post links but its not like this mornings run- sorry was yesterdays

Surprise surprise, GFS doesn't want to know

Shortwave still going E/NE and not South as per ICON.

[radiohead]

Very poor consistency from the GEM

 

[Met4Cast]

UKMO 96hrs has the shortwave to the East of the UK, it's following the ICON

[WalsallWeather123]

UKMO 12z T96 follows GFS 12z
