No suprises with the 00Z ECM this morning. Backs up the last MOGREPS run with the cold affecting majority of NW Europe inc. UK through to second week of March. Solid support as per last half dozen runs.

Any milder interlude in the South would only be temporary with the colder uppers quickly returning post-low.

Do you know how far north they see that system progressing? Obviously will chop and change at this range but would be interesting to know.

Hi mate ^^ see my post above-

The UKMO track was appearing to go North @144 however if its just doing an orbit like ECM where it comes up & kisses the SW then is pushed back SW again thats fine as long as theres eastward energy over France holding the continental flow ahead-

UKMO 144 is slightly warmer @144 than ECM but margins are fine for all-

Thank you for taking the time to answer. Living in the Heads of the valley I'm actually getting a little bit excited now. It's been a pretty decent winter here thus far but if it plays out as the ecm suggests we will be rivalling Dec 2010 where we had just over a foot of level snow!

As well as the SW you got places like the NE who are also under deep snow & continues @168 - !

Agree Steve, a lot of focus on the low pressure system at day 5-6  (understandably so) but the North Sea snow machine is in full effect in NE England and E Scotland with deep lapse rates creating heavy showers and strong winds blowing these well inland ... non stop for over a week !

Depends for what timing, but the charts are showing you remaining very cold (and potentially snowy) for some time

Thanks for replying !

from my little knowledge of the charts I don't expect much / if any snow accumulation for my location 

Am I correct in thinking if snow is to reach inland ( 80 miles inland from the wash ) the "low" needs to move a lot further north ?

Models are poor with shower distribution. Expecting heavy snow showers to push further west than the charts show given the parameters. Only really areas to the west of high ground missing out, but even there a few showers are possible.

GFS ensembles are on viagra this morning with a fast rise & 'warm up' after a 96 hour or cold spell, I simply do not buy the GFS in these situation, time and time again it's been proven dreadful in these sypnotics and given the ECM consistency in keeping cold in place this is more likely IMO.

 

Not discounting it completely as that would be silly but I feel given it's bias to smashing cold air out the way with ease and overdoing northwards progression of lows it's unlikely.

Yikes. ECM looks the best possible run yet for the south and southwest of England.

Surely the ECM would see snow right upto South Wales and central England from that low pressure?

The gfs control is about as good as it gets for balancing the track of lows and keeping cold enough 850s for everyone. Will it be like that?

Yes, South Wales would be in the sweet spot, as per Jan 82, I was there?

No further north than Coleshill was mentioned on the earlier briefing.

Sorry. To clarify, is that the centre of the low or how far the precipitation gets?

Well, the GFS operationals continue to be determined to end the deep cold across the south later in the week / next weekend, however, the  ECM continues the deep cold flow across all the UK.

GEFS postage stamps show a range of positions of the low next Friday and Saturday, the GEFS MSLP has the low just south or over the far south of UK in the means:

Still way off getting confidence in where the low will track. ECM the best solution for those in the south, GFS better for those in the north in terms of snowfall generated by this low.

Nearer in time, not often one sees an upside down low (kink in isobars) and frontal configuration, as shown just east of Scotland / NE England on the T+72 fax for 00z Tuesday

Morning each :)

Things look very nice this morning for the next 5 days with no downgrades for what could be a repeat and best setup since Feb 1991,maybe better as that one was cut short by low pressure moving in from the southwest

Also dam line of 510 will be over us by Wednesday which is very rare indeed ,as for snow ,moderate falls for most and heavy falls where the troughs and streamers form in the very unstable air which will be over us by Wednesday

Weather will be stealing all the headlines next week

Love the look of the cold front on the Fax at +48 rolling in behind the 528 dam

Reminds me of Feb 91, that had a band of snow moving west with the push of cold air, I remember it well.

Such is the UK weather!! 

While the first bit of our cold spell has counted down on the models beautifully for two weeks, the part after Thursday is going to be uncertain until probably T48!

Such incredibly fine margins whether the low stalls more against the block or whether it alligns itself to push the cold away from southern areas at least but maybe all within a few days after.

My bets are the GFS will slightly back off but might have to wait a couple of days before this shows. It almost always overdoes lows between D5 and D7, and that's why it gets the mild so far north. It's ensembles will probably do the same.

Prefer the ECM ! Our local forecast is snow Tues, sun Wed,  and sleet ( nearly did a Violet Elizabeth when I saw that it had been looking good last night) on Thursday for CI seems they follow GFS
