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.

Could this be the death knell, for this year's cold and snow?

I've a feeling that southern Europe will warm up very fast, come Spring... image.thumb.png.350beca7d2674d8cd1e446e2f2b50ecd.png

Yes thoroughly accurate don't you think?

 

Do we have signs of a split with the Siberian vortex allowing cold to filter

No, but they tied in with a lot of the cold ramping that went on in here which people find acceptable but moan when people post mild charts.

In this thread, please feel free to discuss the model output with a cold slant, but should other weather types be showing in the output, discussing those is fine too.

You should read the original post so!

Yes but its the hunt for cold thread, there is nothing wrong with saying you are gutted because non is in the offing, agree that posting warm south westerlies and then putting:yahoo:afterwards is not for this thread but i don't see the point in lying.

Agree to a point Feb, but there are some pointing out now that there are no background signals to bring a cold spell!! Pretty sure a good many have been banging on about the great background signals that would bring us one hell of a cold spell!! So when the signals are there, it doesn't deliver, and when the signals are know longer there, that also fails to deliver, bloody hell doesn't leave us with much to go on does it  perhaps next year we should rename this thread. 

THE HUNT FOR THE PERFCT BACKGROUND SIGNALS

Morning, a few people discussing the NAO I see. Thought I'd clear up this argument.

First there are different definitions of the NAO, each with varying levels of relevance to our shores. The most relevant I think is the SLP gradient from Gibraltar to Reykjavik which goes all the way back to 1821. I thought I'd look at the correlations between the NAO for one month and the following others. Here is what I found.

image.thumb.png.1ed914fc482da6cef878041bc5786696.png

So any relationship between the NAO from 1 month to another following winter month is weak at best. There appears to be some correlation between November and December NAO but it is not statistically significant and the same can be said about February and March.

However there is a strong correlation between North Sea SSTs from one month to the next (much stronger then other times of the year) and low SLP can be persistent in the far NW Atlantic during late winter and spring if the January NAO is positive.

Back to the model output and the swingometers for February 20th and the models were firming up on a milder picture persisting until the 20th. The 06z was a little more varied but nothing much in the way of cold. No charts of note really for this time period to post (if its cold you are after).

 image.thumb.png.74ce47cc2054822ac87f42f6556da702.png

By February 25th a very mild picture, the swingometers are a Sarri sight indeed, like watching your football team lose 6-0 if its mild you are after. Still a long way out but the prospects of this winter are rapidly falling it seems. The 00z parallel is our only hope

The global temperature anomalies show that our best hope of getting some decent cold is a block to our north given our east is so mild. The western side of North America is hogging the cold again...

I was looking at the daily records not that long ago maybe Saturday could be the best chance?

I fail to see how temperature records could be broken, with average temps ranging from 8-11 degrees throughout the week!

Chance of an isolated 15c later in the week subject to cloud cover it's certainly unlikely we'll see daily records go but maybe an outside chance on Saturday

Well, at least the background signals are still looking ppppotentially good as we go into early spring!

I think the Fohn effect might have something to say about that?

Aye, Fohn effect, could be higher in prone spots, N Wales/E Scotland, only expecting 13 or so here

Temperatures are going to be above average maybe 3 degrees above average. according to that chart

Max average in Feb is 6.6 not sure that equates to 15.

And again i asked which model showed 15 and as it stand there isn't one. (which is not saying there won't be either)

Two words for that chart from a coldies perspective.  Absolutely horrifying!

That's a four-day mean, it's not a daily forecast...

Pretty sure the models take that into affect I've seen it plenty of times.

Looks pretty sluggish to me not 

Warm air looks to the south away from the high areas need for the affect

Remember its already 11c in the SW...under 850hpa temperatures of 0c roughly. By Friday we are upto 6-8c widely. So no reason why we can't add at LEAST 3-4c at the surface based on that...Then you have Fohn effect and your getting mighty close to daily records.

I don't think we will get there, though Saturday is possible, but I think your badly underdoing the potential here.

Expect thlose highs to nudge up further as we head towards Friday.

PS - high resolution GFS has 14c for N.Wales on Friday. As I said, maxes typically underdone in this set-up, so probably add 1-2c again. Probably will get a local 17c based on that 06z GFS.
