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.

I know I dont really like the 06z however its fairly in Sync with the other models-

Interesting @186-192

Slight pressure rises south of Greenland mean the jet is being steered south...

Awsome run-

It's not bad at all, and an Arctic high has appeared at 192

Put it this way if we get the deep low and it coming in at a better angle then we could be looking at a very serious snow situation next week!!think of this morning ecm run but every so slightly further south

Left exit to be fair and converging at least somewhat. Though yes, I would tend to back a UKMO/Euro blend for strength as the GFS and GEM enjoy blowing lows up. That would suggest say 975mb right now, probably weaker as we get closer.

Yeah, I can definitely something in the 970s for sure, even high end 960s. I'm not convinced its going 955mbs like the ECM 00z, and even less than some of the ensembles going down to 949mbs.

Broadly with little lows forming in the subtropics they tend to be quite poorly forecasted (Having watched numerous ones this hurricane season, the models weren't the best) and that in itself has to for now put a big question mark on it. Of course it could well be right and I'll be finding my rowing boat and umbrella!

I hope so, shaky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!If the low doesn't deepen quite so much, and travels along a more southerly track, we could be in for a real treat!!!!!Shame those 'oop norf' would have to miss-out a bit!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, having also watched the models on hurricanes they seemed really poor with them this year. Often reeeaaally overdoing it or reeeaaally underdoing it in terms of pressure. Maybe it’s a similar scenario here just for a winter storm rather than summer.

Looks like us in the North West could be in the prime position. That’s if the Irish Sea plays nicely

Agree on current models , Our area will be buried . I tend to agree with other members though, The Low at the end of the week will likely correct South . Im concentrating on Tuesday as the Snow signal has been persistent for nearly a week.

Snow could be coming to a lamp post near you according to the Gfs 6z operational..best week of this winter so far in terms of cold and snow potential!!:cold-emoji: 

things must be looking good when a page fills up every 3 minutes!:crazy:

I hope you're right Frosty. I proper love your upbeat posts when the snow is due but I won't be really happy until the first flake falls lol

Indeed, a very encouraging NH profile is about to show itself in FI.  Something to keep an eye on.

If it does end up less deep, then presumably it would be more likely to take a more southerly track. Probably end up too far south knowing our luck!

GFS para still giving a good snow event for the south unlike the op. Looks similar to the UKMO at 78hrs.

Still as I said earlier, the models have struggled with systems de eloping on frontal boundaries down in the sub-tropics, so any solution is to be taken with a huge pinch of salt still.

Anyway ensembles will be out shortly for the important time period, so lets see where they go!

Yup it would which would mean far south of england gets the action!!anyway gfs para deeper low to the southwest and further north at just 78 hours!!could be delicious for central southern england!

Yes was just posting this

Both AM GFS trended North into the channel-

ICON/UKMO/GFSP go for more of a channel low/North France feature that would bring snowfall to many Southern parts on Tuesday. 

ECM further South taking it more through Central France which would probably be a little too far South

I think your in a cracking place by the way, should be far enough south that unless it really shifts south you'll get something, but far enough north that you'd have tp be unlucky for the low to pump that much mild air up.

Can't blame people for being a little more focused on their area, though it doesn't help people who are new for sure!

Indeed, and possibly for snow showers from a Cheshire Gap streamer, but I don’t want to sound too biased towards my own area after my previous comment

Also a bit confusing for those in central areas when people talk about the north and/or the south, but then it’s not really possible to predict the northern or southern extent of anything in this setup at this range and central parts will always be the ‘battleground’ and area of highest uncertainty I guess.

Looking no further than Tuesday at the moment and even that's up in the air due to the exact track of the possible channel low. Interesting times.

Of course ppl will be more interested in their own areas, but either keep that to the regional thread or state that a comment regress to a specific area.  Too many comments yesterday said things like much better run, or, might in the right direction, when they clearly represented downgrades for many areas.
