Model output discussion - The Hunt For Cold

Message added by Paul

If you're hunting for cold potential in the model output, this thread is for you. But if you'd like to look more widely at the models, please head over to the general model discussion thread.

EC mean looks quite solid, don't think Exeter will be making much change in their update later.

Dry and mild becoming dry and increasingly colder after mid month looks a good shout ..

Well what can I say we have JMA strong heights around UK Scandinavia into iceland with jet stream into Africa this is exactly what we need with some real southerly tracking low heights into Europe and the Mediterranean.

Amazing to think the Scandinavian heights have been very robust.

There is a signal ATM for something wintry even if it's dry frosty cold.

But seasonal gem ECM very similar the GFS and gefs is not so keen.

Ukmo ATM is not much use unless your looking at the next few days.

Stormy tomorrow in the west and south.

The GFS Det might not be quite as good as yesterdays but the overnight ensembles are trending colder in the extended so for me, the signal for a colder end to the month is only strengthening.

Indeed, and i think we ought to note the 850s will not be the be all and end all in this set up.

Morning all, this chart below from ECM is the favoured development but our experts think the development of a Mid Atlantic developing trough undercut to be a little bit sharper than shown on the chart below. Possibly, what UKMO are showing out at this range with their post 144t charts.

Really enjoying your “insider information” posts of late, so thank you! 

So if I’m reading this right, they’re expecting more of an Easterly element rather than a South/South-Easterly?

So while the models improve the MO have moved away from it. Disappointing update today mate

ECM certainly caught my attention with a block that appears capable of sustaining itself at a high latitude. Some cold air would be filtering towards Europe you can imagine in the later frames.

However yesterdays ECM was pretty benign as shown below (left), the GFS 6z OP (centre) and Parallel (a bit better,right) also look pretty underwhelming.

So keeping my expectations low at this point. What looks certain is that we will see a very mild first half to November in most areas and low pressure forming to the west or over Spain next week. Will this encourage northern blocking or will we just end up under mild southerlies? I'm not getting my hopes up although the ECM suggests it may yield something interesting further down the line.

Looks like they going for a slow sinking high looking at the update, which is a suprise to me too - esp after looking at those EC ens.

T360 ECM clusters

That majority cluster though.. 

The word "beast" comes to mind!

41% of the ensemble set - a decent figure but not something to place a bet on - yet

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone has a link for those ECM clusters?  I've had a look at the Icelandic website a few times but haven't been able to track them down yet.

The GFS appears to agree?

They could well be a few days behind the curve. Funny how the models flipped to a flatter pattern for a day or two a few days ago and now we see this update. It could well be that we see the outlook revert back to what they were saying originally. I wouldn't be surprised.

they don't tend to be like that any more CC. if MOGREPS changes then their forecast tends to change. this update fits with Tuesday evenings EC46 so i suspect they were waiting to see if MOGREPS headed that way before changing their output

remember, this is 16-30 day we are speaking about

Strong Scandi High potential, heights not particuarly strong over Europe ... 

OK "beast" as in a repeat of last March is a wee bit of a exaggeration ;) , but still could be cold enough for snow if this scenario were to happen in late November.

1 in 10 chance though atm I'd say

Indeed, that may well be the case. However what we're seeing from the ECM and GFS ops/ensembles atm is not supportive of that prognosis into the further outlook, YET, so I guess we wait and see. 

I recall the metoffice being led by the ec46 and MOGREPS in 2016, constantly calling for wintry weather at the back end of November and into December. Turns out the shorter range modelling trends were closer to the mark... In fact I think we all remember that wintry weather fail! 

I've just read the update. I think a bit at the end saying 'there is a smaller chance that the UK may experience a more notable spell of below average temperatures towards the end of this petrod' would have covered another base for them.

not completely in agreement  - if the blocking establishes similar to the ec clusters/gefs in the 13/18 day period and then sinks away se then that would fit ok with the broad wording of the 16/30 dayer

As I said, guess we'll wait and see. The pattern shown in the closer time frames is conducive to cold further down the line IMO. The only way I envisage the HP slipping SE is with a coupling of strat and trop.

Yes,clearly they expect any anticyclone to get pushed away with the jet to the north...

Not what i was hoping to see today but hey ho.
