A new model thread as we near a new season. Now we're out of the winter rush, we're onto a single model related thread again, so please keep it to the models in here. 

There's a fair bit of interest currently with some unusually mild air on the way later this week and into the weekend. Looks like temperatures records could be threatened, at least the daily and regional ones, the UK record of 19.7c seems quite unlikely at the moment. 

Beyond that, lots of uncertainty - take your pick from more of the same, a colder still mostly blocked picture or the return of the Atlantic - so plenty to be keeping an eye on as we end the winter.


Thread Moderation
The team will moderate this thread to keep it on topic and focused on the models. Please only post model related discussion.

Rain from the warm front of the approaching system is already into Northern Ireland and north western coastal regions, This will track east through this evening and overnight effecting all areas, apart from the far south, but the heaviest of of the rain will be in north western regions, particularly south west Scotland The warm front will clear into the North Sea in the early hours but the waving cold front will bring further rain to western Scotland, in particular, and N. Ireland, tomorrow morning. As it's cloudy and quite breezy no frost

00z out to 168 in broad agreement with 06 run and possibly heights to Greenland and maybe a cross polar flow from the Pacific side incoming. Cold start to March if it’s transpires!

I'm truly overwhelmed ba. Well no doubt I will be!

Anyway back to the record breaking jet and associated extra-tropical cyclone tomorrow and Thursday and another sneaking into the Atlantic on the jet that has dipped more southerly on Saturday

Looking at the Gfs 12z operational it's a prolonged predominantly settled / anticyclonic outlook extending into early march,  daily temperatures above / well above average for most of the run but returning closer to average early next month..also becoming a bit more unsettled with atlantic frontal systems eventually making inroads but slowing down and disrupting due to a large blocking high further east.

The GEFS don't look great for cold at face value, but if you look right at the very very end they are a  stonker, a decent cluster cold enough for snow.

High pressure moving back west over the next few days so after the blip over the next day or so things will settle down for the weekend and becoming increasingly warmer with temps for some in the high teens

Decent shot of cold air from the NW later on in the run from the GFSP, not to shabby set of ensembles, with quite a lot of dip in the latter stages. Basically I've seen better, but compared to the current, big improvement.

The new GFS release scheduled for March 20th might be delayed as it has a “cold bias”

Scatter on the Reykjavik ensembles says it all, total bedlam. To be honest unless it’s similar depth of cold to last year I’m really not overly interested in a cold spell, down here(South coast) March can deliver snow but not long lasting snow that I desire.

interesting article it certainly seemed to perform badly on face value since the new year ...

After what I have just read I will not be taking to much notice of the cold shots the GFSP

Increasing potential for colder conditions with a chance of snow towards the end of the GEFS 12z❄

Loved by many in here, the GFS-FV3, has been awful this Winter in modelling non-cold events. If it had been correct half the time we would be six-foot under most of mid-Winter. 

I was fearful without the old GFS, the ECM and new GFS coming up with those winter wonderland charts, it would be a nightmare getting any sense on this forum. At least we know the old GFS and we can extrapolate its nuances, and with ECM, the opposite side of the coin, we could get some clarity. But the two biggest models cold ramping would have been a monster!

Hopefully, they correct it.

Duely noted, some teething issues by the sound of it, but does have its positives also, looks like focusing more on its older brother and the European models till things get sorted!

I suppose a 'cold bias' might explain why so many of the FI 'cold shots' ended up damp squibs?

I'm hoping this current FI 'return to colder' will be gone by the end of the weekend and a less cold solution begins to show up as we head into the 5 days out time frame?

Either The Atlantic will neuter the cold or the cold lobe will move ever north with each run leaving it skirting N.I and the NW of Scotland?

I’m sure it will get sorted, thankfully we are coming to end of winter so plenty of time for them to work on it.

Only 12 hours between runs, but at least a 1000 miles apart!! Unreal!

Unsurprising really the 00z was a clear cold outlier

No signs of anything cold on the ECM op tonight, in fact quite the opposite- well above average right the way through! Quite a lot of straw-clutching tonight from those hoping for a colder spell. Then again I would probably be the same with regard to warmth in late August if I knew that my chances were almost over! 

Hard to remember quite such a prolonged mild/warm spell as this upcoming one in February. We could potentially see 6 consecutive days above 14C here, which we didn't see in 2008 and there were only 5 consecutive days above 14C in these parts in 1998.
