Cold hunt - models and chat

Message added by Paul

Please ensure that the majority of your posts in this thread are model related - a theme of model discussion needs to run throughout.
Some off topic chat and reactions are ok, but please use other, more relevant threads for entirely off-topic chat (such as snow reports, met office forecasts and general chat/moans about the weather or this winter).

For more no banter and just model discussion please head to the new focused model thread - this is also a great place to post (or cross post) your longer model summaries or thoughts around the models.

USA forecasters prefer the ECM MJO forecast .

They said the GEFS can overdo Rossby wave activity which effects it’s progression .

Are they trolling us and just putting the same images up every few days?

My hope is the signals for hight lat blocking are correct, and it's just a case of the downwelling being much slower than expected.

LOL yes it does feel we are being trolled!

I think that could well be the case! At least once this propagation has happened, a clearer picture should start to emerge.. *hopefully

No, he's saying the ECM operational run was wrong, not the MJO forecast.

Possibly good news as the GEFS have been getting more and more keen on that Atlantic low taking hold and rotating in SW air in early Feb despite upper ridging occurring further north.. There is the same signal on the ECM but its a much weaker signal compared to the 12z GFS

....and quite ironic when i thought i may have some input to this forum (following from 2010) and i then discover that i am the only member logged in! tomorrow is a new day - and no doubt the models will have picked up on a new trend...

Heights starting to increase to our north slowly at Day 9.

The blues coming lighter north east of Iceland.

wirh the ridge to the east building, GFS has been showing the possibility of Atlantic heights joining up to this to our north. Let’s see if it happens again.

Edit: huge ridge into the Pole too pacific side

Fairly similar 18z to the 12z on a broad scale out to 192hrs, though obviously there is a weather difference to the locations of all the LP features. Maybe a touch flatter?

No, I'd say it's all further east, which is what we need to keep the core of the cold over us?

By the way as I mentioned on the other thread, ECM ensembles actually do seem like they are honing in on a possible snow set-up between the 29-31st of the month, that maybe a time period just to keep an eye on and see if other models start to clock the same thing.

Now why did I break out and start smirking when I read that Darren

8-10 days away

Saying no more on the subject until its T2 away

Although we’ve been here before, I understand the lack of excitement that this update may bring. 

But I’d rather it showed this signal than comfirm what some of the more sceptical are possibly thinking! ☺️

At least it’s now showing higher pressure to our north east as well, seeing as it seems impossible to build high pressure to our north west, no matter what, thanks to the pain in the backside Canadian PV.

The ops we see won’t be effected by the current MJO situation because of the time lag .

These the same forecasters that had 100% confidence in the GFS initial handling of the winter storm?

Tongue and cheek BTW

Well we get a GFS special from 300hrs onwards with about a textbook +ve NAO look as you can get.

I'm not convinced by the way the GFS is handling the arctic at all on this run though...

Also, the pattern its showing from 300hts is vastly different from the 12z GFS ensembles and also very different than most of the ECM ensembles as well, so GFS probably going off on one of its occasional wanderings to default so to speak.
