GFS 12z the first run for a while to go all in for a southerly.  Here at T192, T240 and T300:

And +14 uppers into the south:

GEM not interested, brings the high west and we end up with a NW'ly:

Thanks for your thoughts @tight isobar

I for one am really interested in what impacts the exceptional warmth in the Baltic Sea May have as the surrounding land cools. A strong anomalous heat input surrounded by a large sink. Hmm...!

I would have thought abnormally high SST's around the Med would favour low pressure development around that region. Warmer temperatures at the surface and steeper lapse rates when cooler T850s enter the region. Could be a wet autumn for southern Europe.

While we are on the subject of seasonal models, did anyone else watch Gavsweathervids ECM update on the weekend, the H500 +ve anomaly over Scandinavia was quite staggering.

 

Probably O/T but it is pertinent to remember that positive or negative anomalies do not necessarily translate to High and Low Pressure.  It is an anomaly from the mean climatological pressure - so higher than normal pressure to the north does not necessarily mean an area of high pressure there but rather a reduction of the usual westerly flow.  Only when anomalies are significant can we be confident of making assertions one way or the other

That's above average temperatures, well above.

Was thinking the same. Probably either accidentally attached the wrong chart, or he meant cool as in ‘awesome/great’. ?‍♂️

Yes I know, I think people are guilty of that when building their analogues on the NOAA compositing site tbh, because Greenland pressure is usually lower than other locations, you really need a large +ve anomaly to signify a high (denoted by dark orange colours not yellow), less so over Scandinavia because contrary to popular opinion, Scandi highs are not that uncommon although you still need a decent anomaly. Having said all that though, any kind of 3 month +ve anomaly to the North and -ve anomaly to the South, either Surface or 500mb, is almost guaranteed to produce some cold spells for the UK, as don't forget in an average winter you are bound to get some lengthy spells with very low heights to the North (The PV),

According to the GEFS 12z mean next week looks anticyclonic across most / all of the uk, generally pleasant surface conditions by day with light winds, variable cloud and sunny spells and some cold nights with a risk of mist / fog patches forming where skies clear. Beyond next week there are signs that pressure will fall across the uk and that it will turn more changeable / unsettled, especially further n / nw.

A mostly anticyclonic Ecm 12z but with marked variations in temperatures, cloud cover and sunshine amounts as the position / orientation of the high frequently changes, some warm days but also some chilly ones and a risk of overnight mist / fog and even slight frosts at times. The run ends with a cold Northerly gradually digging it's way south.☺?️:cold-emoji:

Please don’t anyone suggest there may be  a possibility of some sort of northerly coming down in early October! I did a couple of days ago and got shot down in flames! Not certain by any means, but it’s certainly appeared a few times.

Slow moving patterns over the UK at the moment, which way will it all drift?  GFS brings up a strong southerly. GEM and ECM favour winds from the northerly quadrant so cool.  

Parallel FV3 sides with GFS here at T240:

I think the question of whether a cold or warm first part of October is in the balance, my view is the warmer option more likely but only slightly.

Morning the squall line did cause some damage in parts of Germany but appears very localised. Now all Central Europe is in a much more seasonal air mass after weeks of abnormal heat. Indeed cold enough for snow falling on the mountain tops around Katschberg this morning. The forecast team this morning expect the weather to improve as the week progresses with temps around normal but have indicted in their model of quite a significant fall in pressure over the Central Med this coming weekend and may influence the position of of the large high pressure zone by then. Possible retrogressive movement of the high centre NW .If that's the case, could turn quite unsettled  in parts of mainland Europe but unlikely to affect the British Isles in the medium term, at least, but something of interest.

Some models this evening firming up on a tropical type cyclone to form on Friday over the Ionain Sea with wind gusts up 145km/h on its SW quadrant.  Next week a general fall of pressure over mainland Europe now showing with some unsettled conditions moving slowly north and west with retrogressive feature of the high. Should get an update tomorrow morning.

Warm for me Mike....change around midmonth to maybe more normal but wetter and more unsettled

BCC updated its long range model overnight and showing the same sort of change in pattern mid-month as CFS /EC46

EPS clusters are showing the change showing up high pressure in the majority at 240 hours:

but in a majority by the end of the run

Things certainly to be firming up on a pattern change past the first 10 days or so of October.

The latest view from here  continues to support a general fall of pressure over Europe next week as now being shown on latest ECM charts. Some strong upper winds in a developing cyclonic circulation. Maybe SE England getting some rain or showers by midweek in the NEly flow for a time. Medium term ECM charts below.

Potent E'ly shoeing late October on CFS, it just shows you what can happen even out of season if you drop a trough even remotely far south enough in Europe first, we've had Easterlies in late Nov before with uppers above 0, for the very reason that the continent hadn't been cooled first.

Another nice cold shot showing on the Gfs 6z operational..hope something like this happens, a very early taste of wintry feeling weather would be most welcome..by me anyway!☺:cold-emoji::D

Models seem to have taken a turn for the colder today in the medium range timeframe. The northerly for early next week looks distinctively chilly for early October if we go by the 00z's.

ECMOPEU00_144_2.png GFSOPEU00_132_2.png UKMOPEU00_120_1.png

It looks relatively dry though that is the main thing and brief although the ECM has us in chillier air a tad bit longer, I don't mind that but I would prefer the less colder weather to go through the whole weekend. Another nice day of fishing on Sunday would be grand.

The GFS 06Z has the high loitering around the UK but interestingly Hurricane Leslie gets cut off again which may lead to retrogression further down the line if it does.

I'd be more then happy with that, but when the clock goes back an hour, the cold ramping switch will be on :cold:

deep FI, 3 months too late for summer fans, only showing 16 degrees here? suppose need winds more SSW'ly for a 25 degrees? not SSE'ly, 324 better

Yes the clocks changing is the point that I start looking for cold rather than warm - location is an issue, I can quite see why those significantly further north look for the cold scenarios earlier!

The drift of the high west or east in the models is still fascinating if slow moving.  All modes drag it west initially but then the GEM at T240 has it close to the UK but slightly west:

image.thumb.jpg.bc72bd254090d52884c469266224a92e.jpg

GFS 12z is more interesting, with a drift to the east at T192, back just west T240, and then going (like yesterday's) for the full on southerly at T288:

image.thumb.jpg.2a1baade8d1721449d07e4c4e34df1ef.jpg

image.thumb.jpg.49fcbd0da36ba676105444b0e7f70aa3.jpg

850s at that point here:

image.thumb.jpg.a3d1094caf6fae3198ccddf97776c7f7.jpg

Edit, GFS T336:

image.thumb.jpg.08f90bd9e5b95ace911c9311fd068ef9.jpg

I think this is a plausible run and the southerly is one to watch on subsequent runs.

@Mike Poole,the gfs has been showing that evolution/scenario a few times but the gfs/p has other ideas though starts fine up to day nine then a couple of cool plungers from the N/NW  from day ten onwards with the -4 isotherm getting down towards S'n midlands and SW england

AT 192

gfsnh-0-192.thumb.png.2d38147f9adc3c47b7c5caac36a5048b.png

then this after day ten at 264 with the high starting to pull west

then at the end of the run,we have this with the high fully retrogressed to southern Greenland:cold:

here is the animated run,looks lovely doesn't it:D

tempresult_qsw4.thumb.gif.d39dbb5f81a365fb03e2634ef8b0f7bd.gif

ok it won't come off but it is something to talk about,in the meantime,what a cracking day it has been today☀️:)

I keep forgetting about the parallel run (doesn't really matter yet), just wondering when it goes GFS operational, or do we have a whole winter of it? it would be a good reference point if there's some sort of model stand off in the run up to an Easterly.

Is it next April or have i got my wires crossed somewhere?
