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.

CfsV2 for the 23rd of Feb .what's everybody worrying about it's bound too verify .honestly the output to terrible for cold tonight in reliable may I had. Which is probs 96hr. Something is lurking for cold round the corner I'm sure if it.

Ext EPS -  no change. Trough (mid Atlantic), ridge (Euro), trough (western Russia) pattern.  Very strong anomalies for a 12-15 day mean.

Very little to show a phase 8 MJO pattern.  In short, they are pretty ghastly.

Looking at tonight's Ecm 12z ensemble mean, nothing cold in the week ahead..the opposite in fact as it becomes increasingly mild / spring-like with temps around 11-13c 52-55f but somewhere may record 15/16c 60f later in the week ahead, generally settled too under the influence of high pressure to the SE. Beyond that, the high sinks and the atlantic cranks up a bit, especially further N / W.

You been reading the tea bags again barnsleylad. Careful with those cfs charts though, folk may think your losing it. Seriously glimmer of hope, many a cold spell follows an unseasonably mild one. We have some very good knowledgeable posters on here, who still think there is hope for the final 3rd. I for one are one of them, apart from the knowledgeable bit!

I can actually see a sensible route to an easterly at the back end of the month but it’s so tortuously slow getting there I can’t really be bothered ........

Would it be a cold uppers Easterly or the one showing on the GFS 12z suite?

I think the ridge is so strong it will cut itself off over s scandi and the Azores trough will undercut to the Russian one. A murr sausage high the result ........but it’s going to take two weeks+

Early March then - a glimmer of hope perhaps....

Exactly my thoughts ref cutting off and getting in situ over scandi, it would be the strongest Scandi HP/block for a while.

I can’t see any WAA which is why I mention the sausage .....in what is likely to remain a mobile pattern, it’s the only shaped ridge that will probably survive at a high enough latitude to bring us cold. we could then see a fast retrogression aswell to a west based -nao

Don’t give up now. We’ve been looking since November and now we are only two weeks away. Let’s be patient

No obvious route to anything especially cold in today's synoptics - but that certainly doesn't mean its off the table.. The last 12 months has seen high pressure ruling the roost - and this looks like continuing with the atlantic only being able to make temporary inroads - what we've tended to see are long periods with heights remaining in situ in the same place - lots of omega blocks, we had one for 3 weeks late Dec - mid Jan, are we about to see another one.. and one once again more conducive to milder conditions than cold - a theme of the last 12 months with the exception of March. 

There is much energy programmed to move out of the NE Canada/USA seaboard this is likely to sharpen and deepen the long wave trough over mid atlantic - helping to aid WAA but the jetstream is not aligned favourably to allow disruption of the trough and building of heights N-S, hence I suspect the ridge will collapse temporarily with an atlantic feed from around 17-19th. Less energy in the atlantic thereafter, may then allow more favourable ridging of the euro ridge into a position conducive to colder conditions, but might take a good 2 weeks which might be too late for some.. but as we saw last year, certainly not late enough to deliver notable cold. Another winter with a sting in its tail perhaps?

There are three well-documented stages of model madness:

#1 is posting a CFS chart and expecting it to verify; #2 is posting a CFS chart and hoping it'll verify; and, #3 is image.png.adbd61c53fff46e82419e46865ca8e07.png

Do we really want a west based -nao though?

No, like many things we’ve not wanted this winter!

Not likely.

Early spring much more likely. 

The mildest air still looks like it'll peak on Friday with a gradual drop afterwards (consistently shown for a number of runs now) temps as a result are likely to fall away but obviously nothing really cold in sight (unless the op is a trend setter at the end!)

London

Maybe something a bit cooler (colder?) for Scotland by D8 with the mean and op both going below the 0 line so here we do still have the chance for some snow especially for the high ground

Southern Scotland

Remarkable stuff from the Ecm 12z with a real early taste of spring in the air during the week ahead and to think I was stupid enough to believe the met office in January about Nor'eastely blasts and enhanced snow falls for february..still this will feel very pleasant.:gathering:

Lol anybody else think that all the deep oranges are a little extreme? I mean we are talking temperatures of between like 7-11c but looking at them you would think we are about to get some summer weather
