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.

What next? Tracking a thundery low drifting toward the South coast before March starts?

That's probably possible, I can see several major weather types hitting us in the next several weeks

I wish we did have the climate of siberia.

Well you wouldn't get much snow with it either. Very very dry especially in winter. - 40 - 50 common. Sounds lovely not. Aomori City Japan receives 26ft of snow per annum and not that cold.

Not a bad ending from the 18z para, much better than the 12s. Let the momentum continue

The anticyclonic northerly type on the 18z OP appeared on a few of the 12z ensemble members so it might be an emerging trend....

It also appears a bit more on the 18z ensembles also. We have had a few scenarios in recent years were a warm high in Spring shifts towards Greenland.... the end of March 2012 being a good example of this.

Now that would be exceptional! Very strange it would be to see thunderstorms from warmth in February! As much as I like thunderstorms, it is the wrong time of the year for them! I want snow!

Thundersnow? let's hope the models latch onto this "Potential" in the next few days

There’s a small patch of 13/14c uppers over the W/sw. Madness.

GFS has a disturbance in the high that isn’t there on the ecm....so perhaps we need to wait before making any bold predictions. I would expect the ecm op is at the top end of outcomes.

Without fog cover, February temperature record busted. 

The uppers for the UK are the same as during parts of the heatwave last year!

This high is beginning to remind me of that limpet that appeared earlier in the winter.

The ECM spreads show its going nowhere fast .  Frustrating to have the last few weeks of winter eaten up like this .

I think it’s safe to assume barring a miracle that any cold weather now will have to appear in March . I’d say this winter has been one of the absolute worst in terms of expectations  falling flat . The PV lobe of death over ne Canada hasn’t relented.

Its remarkable that once again a winter passes by without a proper Arctic blast northerly .

As for the EC 46 and other longer range Met Office products clearly something has gone badly wrong. We’ve seen a lot of spin but put bluntly they have been epic failures !

The problem has been the Azores high (the bane of the UK winter!).

Mobile limitations so just a link but it confirms the 14*C 850 hPa temps over the far SW at +216 with 15*C grazing the coast.

That really is bonkers - I’m not sure how ECM manages to strengthen in-situ the pool of warm 850s in late Feb; it becomes largely cutoff from the more southern resources. In fact I think the UK has the highest 850s at its latitudes in the entire N Hem?!

GFS keeps introducing a disturbance in the flow to limit the initial draw of upper warmth and like with cold spells this is the more common form of outcome.
