Cold hunt - models and chat


Paul
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.

Id have thought that anyone with enough interest in weather to be browsing this forum full of lunatics would be more than aware by now that the BBC don't know their a*se from their elbow 

 

The BBC produce their forecasts from data provided by a professional meteorological company with access to data far in excess of the scraps we feed off.

Yes. Obviously not hallucinating as much as @bluearmy thought!

Where is the Siberian high?

looking at the clusters, I reckon could be as much as 50/50 on the op being not far away .......hopefully we fall the right side if it pans out like that .....

needs no comment

Great run.

Could be even more interesting down the line again, maybe an attack from the NW followed by another pressure rise towards Greenland a the PV lobe moves up and out.

FWIW those 850hpa temps are pretty comparable to the Feb/Mar 18 cold. I'd suspect that is at the extreme end of what is possible in this pattern, certainly maxing out what we have on this run for sure!

Your kidding!

252, 264 and 276.  High is sinking now, but a terrific run overall.

It amazes me that even with the 'scraps' , the amateur forecaster on this forum produce more accurate forecasts than the BBC manage most of the time...

With all their 'progressional' data, they said that for most of the country it will be entirely dry at first for today.. then they changed it to 'rain showers, with snow at high ground'. This is despite many in the forum with the idea that it was within the realms of possibility of snow falling to lower levels. 

I praise many great weather commentators in this forum who interpret the weather in my opinion, much better than the BBC are doing right now.

AO going quite positive again and PV reforming quite rapidly near Greenland again by 348hrs. That is no certainty and its quite possible that we get another reload of the pattern instead of the flattening out upstream.

Still no complaints from me, that's a cracking run!

And all because of subtle change within the first 120 hours. The high over Siberia sends the cold to Scandi early on.... and then it is just waiting in the wings when we get a low sinking over the continent.

Which model ???.

GFS, maybe others... it was a Chris Fawkes comment on a tweet somewhere, relayed via a colleague.

Seems models just can’t wait to try out some responses too.
