The hunt for cold - Model discussion (late November)


Paul
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.

This is a model related thread, so a general, frequent theme of the model output is a given, but it will not be strictly enforced:

  • Some topic drift, humorous responses etc are fine
  • Posts likely to lead the thread off on an entirely off topic tangent are not ok. For example (but not solely limited to): Posts entirely or mainly about Met Office, BBC or media forecasts with little or no model context, and posts solely asking for a weather forecast in a specific location.
  • Posts which start with something like 'I know this is off topic but ...' are not ok.
  • Posts which break the forum guidelines are not ok (eg trolling, troll-hunting, weather guilt tripping, overly defensive/aggressive, abusive, disrespectful to others)

Clusters interesting - the slightly less amplified ridge now 50/50 against the op amplified - the less amplified doesn’t allow the undercut   but it is scandi ridge blocked - there is a 30% cluster that pushes the Atlantic through at too high a latitude with the scandi ridge too far ne. The op undercut cluster is 45%. Beyond day 10 there is still plenty of fun to be had .......

Most important chart of the day,  this one here T384 on the pub run:

I know I've banged on about this, but if this happens this early it will be massively significant for the rest of winter, looking hot to go at the moment! 

Genuine question here. Why are these strat charts always at 384h?

Firstly, the models are much more reliable at predicting the stratosphere than the weather  down here, so that kind of means two possibilities when charts like this show up:

They will prove incorrect and disappear in the next day or two.

Or. They are correct and will chase the SSW down to T0.

All the (few) SSWs I've seen have shown up T384 and counted down, Sure there have been some false alarms, I reckon this one is for real.

Good to see the EC deterministic for T2m for London tanking along with average for a change when it goes cold, apart night time min at the end

Safe to say the GEFS set are a bit of a joke post 11th. That spread.

 

Scandinavian high pressure is consistent throughout so far however.

With the Scandi high now certain as can be in D5-D8 timeframe. Eyes turn to 10day and this may indicate where we go for remainder of month especially with the background signals almost all falling in our favour at the moment - GFS 18z possibly showing where we go and inline with GP thoughts. Interestingly, press release tomorrow from MO for 10 day period with further update, this could indicate what the MO/UKMO would see in this timeframe - quite unusual for press video release I am thinking or I may have picked it up wrong.
