UKMO puts the low in the worst possible position for England as it will quickly mix the cold out for everyone -Ireland / Scotland may hang on to the cold air -

The ICON is really what we need for sustained cold -

First set of overnights that have been poor - however if thats what happens then well still 5 - 6 days of special weather ahead of it - would just be a shame to go out with mild southerlies -

Let see what ECM brings - plenty of time for it all to change :)

get the cold air in first and it could be hard to shift - personally I think the models are overplaying the northern extend of the lows at the end of the week . . .

GFS 5 day mean is now @-16 for EA coast

The mean @ day 6 / 7 gets up to -4c for the S/SE with some mixing -8c line around the midlands

Other than the extreme SE its great to be fair :)

Slight downgrade on the longevity as said to maybe a 6 or 7 day event, but I have noticed a lot over the years that the 0z runs normally are Debbie downers only to pick up as the day goes by, so let's see if this is still the case.

Still spectacularly snowy and a small shift to who gets the heaviest of stuff but still pretty much a nationwide event.

The milder air only really gets into the far south on the GFS, after the low has gone. That system would be all snow thanks to the very cold air at the surface and low dew points. Temperatures still struggling to get above freezing for most next weekend. Looks very good to me.

An interesting take above certainly a red warning imminent there....

The models are not shying away from giving us a high risk/high reward scenario for the end of week. Anything could happen but it certainly won't be boring!!!

GFS buries Central and Southern UK with a 2 day blizzard from that low. Thought the UKMO looked similar.

Totally agree...great runs from gfs and ukmo for widespread snow...really tighteing up the isobars later in the week ahead of the snow as it inches north..probably going to be a ot of imby posts over this...those in the east and south east not so keen, but western and central areas it' the best set up for something more interesting than dry and very cold conditions...granted it' a risky set up but it will be spring by then after all.

As some have already pointed out, It wouldn't seem likely for this low to track much further north as this air will be frigid and likely keep it in the channel. Plus with surface cold I still agree unless you're in the far south west, you'd see a significant amount of snow. Either way Monday-Friday look incredible

Question.

am i correct in thinking that the GFS tends to bring in the Atlantic faster that the ECM does

Wheres the low going is the question..

Into the hearts and minds of Southerners. That low might even get a nickname once its payload is realised.

Am not liking this new trend at all tbh 

All 3 agree on bringing the low so close that the cold will surely mix out. Somewhere will get pasted but all of a sudden the synoptic are so so and following the isobars leads to Malaga instead of russia?

Don't they traverse the 'Siberian' bit of the 'vortex' before reaching us?

I still think it's too early. They won't really know until Weds/Thurs once the cold is entrenched. Even if there's rain, it would likely turn back to snow as the low tracked east.I think the models will really struggle with this for the days to come

Just to clarify all is still great at 144h rs but my fear would be if the trend continued to push North it would quickly mix out the cold.

So all good but margins getting tighter at end of week.
