Also UKMO chart looks a bit strange at T72 with a void of synoptic features over the Central North Atlantic. Surely some features will form in this region? I've never seen it look that featureless before.

Gfs 12z just getting the signal divergence!

Miss dynamics at present-and varient of ups and downs, are fraught.

Ecm deals with minor exactions in current time range more easily.

So for me ec-12z needs taking on a serious note this evening.

A direct full frontal hit(easterly) mid country...

So it did flatten the ridge, but not as progressively or as far as recent GFS runs or the 12z runs of UKMO and GEM.

This seems more intuitive given the background of weakly reversed winds and GLAAM mostly neutral to very weakly negative plus a quiet MJO; what reason could there be for the troughs to power through with little resistance? 

It makes for a quieter route to the mid-Atlantic ridging setup that the models have been keen on for next weekend onward. After so much rain lately, I'm all for that, so here's hoping GFS is onto something here.

Big improvement on this evenings UKMO compared to yesterday's and slight improvement on GFS with the high further NW and stronger Easterly feed.

Hopefully ECM follows suit and we can get further corrections NW which would give more areas of the UK a chance of snow and prolong the cold somewhat.

Based on current output it doesn't look like we will get a proper retrograde pattern still with too much Atlantic forcing but it would nice to see the models keep correcting the high further NW to allow a reload from the NE

UKMO becomes more settled as we move into next week still a chill in the air leading to some sharp and widespread frosts overnight but given the stronger sunshine now days wouldn't be feeling too bad cloud permitting and with shelter from any breeze

Mucka im really surprised you have not mentioned the 72 hour chart from today to yesterdays 96 hour chart!!the differences are massive and todays 12z for the same time brings colder air in way more quickly and also the easterly is much further north all the way up to scotland!!i would not be surpised to see things upgrade even further!!

Are you joining the dark side Gavin - LOL :D

Great runs so far with GFS / IKON prolonging the cold right the way through the runs virtually..

After a brief 'less cold', not mild, midweek look at the following weekend

Hopefully tonight’s outputs so far will cause some to refrain from the wrist slashing which has been evident over the last few days .

You know who you are! :D

The UKMO has a wider area of instability and a stronger flow, having been the least interested it’s now on board .

The GFS manages to hold the high further north for longer as some trough disruption upstream feeds the Euro trough .

 

 

 

Yes it's always re-assuring when the UKMO comes on board at this stage Nick.

Looking at the 00z ens and comparing 12z outputs so far there could be up to a 3 day window for snow fall in favoured locations where we have some effect from that upper cold pool plus any streamers that crop up.

Yes definitely the UKMO is always the decider in these set ups. I’m intrigued to see whether a bit more trough disruption might occur upstream in future runs.

GFS has the same idea just a timing issue whether it will be Monday or Tuesday for cutting off the easterly still plenty of chilly air about either way but the feel would be slightly better by if you had some sunshine

GFS mean and UKMO at t144

Interesting GEFS.

Within that there are some solutions which extend the cold. The key is that upstream trough disruption though.

At this stage the odds are still on a slow warm up as the ridge topples but I don’t think it’s as set in stone as this time yesterday.

Its inevitable after the sub -10 air departs that there will be less cold conditions but still cold against the average.

Its whether it turns milder in the medium term,  I think we’d need a few more runs to see.

So from a brief look at the models before leaving work, it seems the position is:

ICON upgrade

GFS upgrade

UKMO significant upgrade

GEM upgrade

ARPEGE not so good, sinks the high early Monday.

So my interest in this spell is renewed, certainly.

i'm still struck by the depth of cold reaching the UK, GFS has -14C or -15C at T90:

gfs-1-90.png?12

Maybe worth noting how cold the North Sea actually is at the moment:

We await the ECM with interest.

Interesting indeed, time to update the swing-o-lol-o-meter

image.thumb.png.0c6c33ffdbed50a2af7f5ba2581bc773.png :D

A very noticeable shift north when all seemed to be heading south. Quite the turnaround and some go for a clean easterly passing right through the whole of the UK. The purple runs are where somewhere in the UK has -5C uppers right until next weekend.

Given the cleaner easterly the potential for for energy slipping uunder the high is there which would in turn keep the Atlantic at bay and perhaps set up a northerly.

Still a bit tricky, however don't rule out a comeback of the fabled purple line...

So does that include the weekend or say upto Friday? 

Your cold extension threshold is quite high . :D

Lol if that’s dry there’s something seriously wrong
