No. A strongly negative NAO is highly indicative of a Greenland high.

Thanks mate, I thought it basically showed stalling of the normal oscillation not a swift reversal towards the area mentioned.

Cheers.

At the end of the day, based on the 12z runs, all coldies across the uk should be winners, the South of Britain from the Easterly and the North from a Northerly following retrogression..the only losers in all this are those looking for a return of mild!:)

Just going through the ECM ensembles run by run,currently upto 00z 27th and alot of very good runs, at least in terms of pressure distribution many look roughly in the same ballpark as the operational run, maybe just a smidge higher on average.

Anyway still got a large amount of runs thrusting cold air westwards onthe 27th, though with the note that there are some runs that disrupt the easterly early,.

You have mis - interpreted my comment, Its a positive because its represents how vast the cold pool is!

I’m worried....worried that the wife doesn’t believe me and won’t have the higher tog duvet out for Sunday night.

Who wouldn’t be happy with GFS precipitation charts.....something for all where the white fluffy stuff that falls from the sky is concerned.

I am looking forward to next week never mind the warming occurring again and the consequences of such

Evidence that the poorer eps cluster is strat driven?  (and therefore probably due to the second warming causing some issues which the GFS suite probably won’t clearly see quite yet (as per last week)

comparing the T180/T192 from the 12z/00z run clearly shows the increased pressure on the polar ridge on the earlier run compared with the noon one at 50 hpa

The first warming was harder for the models for the models to get a grip of compared to the second. The second warming is similar to a wave 1 on the residual daughter vortex over Hudson Bay.

The first warming has helped produce the synoptic pattern over Eurasia assisting with the formation of the Scandi block. The retreat of the Hudson Vortex is very much related to the second warming. The benefit here is that a Greenland block can set up and prolong the cold spell. The risk - that it drifts too far west and a -ve west based NAO sets up.

Could the second warming cause the high to drift further north next week, allowing the deepest cold and instability to affect the UK? Or would the response be somewhat slower?

Presumably, the more messy output the past couple of days is a result of the second warming throwing the models into chaos.

The fact is, the GEFS mean / ECM 12z ensemble mean are fantastic if you're a coldie, a horror show if you're not!..I already posted the GEFS 12z mean earlier so below is the Ecm..very very cold!:cold-emoji:

Two things I'm seeing in terms of what the ECM ensembles areforecasting past 144hrs:

1: Quick shift westwards of the high pressure towards Iceland/Greenland, very strong agreement on a 48hrs easterly followed by an attempt to shift the focus northwards...

2: deepening of pressure over Iberia, much more noteable on the 12z suite overall. 

Such a NE flow would be VERY likely to have embedded LPs within it and given the depth of cold at the surface, likely big snow possiblities. A risk of course milderair crops up from the south.

I've lost it here. So the 41% cluster (poor one)was related to the increased pressure on the ridge.(Strat driven)

Then came the  noon one with less pressure on the ridge  and a better ECM run.

Where does that leave the poor cluster?? Higher % or lower because I read it as lower for some reason

Pleased to see snow showers streaming a long way inland according to the ECM for Monday.

There is sharpening evident already on the ICON. One thing we need to keep an eye on us any upgrades in the nearer time frame from Sunday because I dont think this period is even done yet. Could still be upgraded 96-120 in my opinion

Those strat charts are derived purely from the ec op. The clusters are ensemble driven. 

I wouldn’t have a strong opinion on what percentage the poor cluster will be later. It’s clearly still there.

Here's hoping the cluster reduces massively. I will add for newbies that the EPS clusters are not the be all and end all, but we would like the poor cluster to do one.

I think my gut would be it is lower having eyeballed all the ensemble runs, though as you say its very much still on the table. I'd say though there is decent ensemble agreement on the broad synoptics through to 28th now, but there is still variations. (easterly from 26-28th, followed during the 28th by a shift into another airmass) Less inthe way of flabby UK highs this run (just a few).Beyond that and you may as well throw a dart, I suspect the biggest shift maybe towards lower pressure over Iberia this suite.

Cold and Easterly driven for the foreseeable/reliable

The pub run - well it's the new going out, isn't it?  What do we want from this one, it has got a hard act to follow after the last few nights, but I'd settle for broadly following the ECM 12z, and then maybe some outrageous snow charts in the latter frames, just for fun.

given ECM ens I expect a good one!

ICON rolling, similar to the last run so far:

You are going to have to explain further (for me anyway) regarding the poor cluster from those charts. ( a Rolph Harris job) as this is really over my head.

Thanks.

I would like to see the Azores low moving east instead of North in the mid-range. Not a crazy request seeing as winds reversed by 30m/s just a few days ago.

Early stages of ICON showing a larger/bigger continental cold pool and better alignment for the cold to advect West faster.
