Leaving aside the potential for snow - isn't it remarkable to see both the GFS and ECM consistently producing this runner low at beyond D8? 

ECM1-216.GIF?03-0

Typically the models struggle with height rises / separation over the Atlantic but even so, the key profile means a rising chance of a short sharp injection of cold from midweek onwards. 

Great to see an agreement on a deep trough close to the U.K. with secondary systems running south of the U.K. 850s don’t need to be amazing away from coastal areas.

i guess the danger at the moment is a slight westwards shift and it is a wet U.K. trough instead of a snowy one.

ECM vs GFS at T240:

ECM not as extreme with the southerly tracking jet, and I know which one I'd want for UK snow potential, ECM every time.

We're three days in to Winter...

Yes and well below average.....And most have gone for mild December.......so as I said....at this rate meaning ‘if it continues’, most will fail.  How on Earth will Jan and Feb be more accurate than Dec?

A  couple of posts already moved across. If all you want to do is post a chart with one word, head over to the banter thread. 

Cheers.

I know, I know, it's day 10...HOWEVER a cracking northerly looking increasingly likely. The pattern will just flatten out though at day 11-12 if we go by this frame as gospel.

THAT ECM?

No, THIS ECM.

We've got 2/3 of the big hitters going for broadly the same evolution here, with the trigger occurring around +120h.  And to be frank, if I was told that 1 of the "big 3" were showing a less promising set up, I'd be hoping to God that it was the UKMO at this sort of range.

Game on.

Well, what is showing in the output hasn't happened yet, and it's quite some distance away, But as usual, you're coming out with unjustified scrutiny.

Zooming into the UK thats snow showers feeding down all of the East coast with a trough popping up here& there

The perfect Northerly? Day 10

Also the alignment of the jet similar to GFS 

Atlantic well to the west aligned towards Azores & Canaries means day 11 & 12 are default cold as well.

And with that ~512 dam air...the instability...the possibilities!  Absolute banker.

Exactly the UK remains on the cold side of the Jet (East and North) and that jet profile through days 10-12 on GFS and ECM is very conducive to Scandi height rises which means if we get past the initial  trigger phases then cold should be locked in for a while.

What a story the ECM could be telling here: Godzilla eats Meadowlark Lemon and becomes the greatest basketball-star the world has ever known...? Or, alternatively, the TPV is looking a wee bit stressed, at T+192.:cold:

All hypothetical at that range but at 240hrs I don't see the pattern collapsing, there's to much troughing and cold air into Europe. 

The next low would just slide with an already meandering jet displaced further south.

To add heat to the fire so to speak long-range forecast from the BBC mentions snow showers and bitter winds next week. Northerly look like a really good bet.

Game on ....

EC ext awaited with interest...

Could be some drama on Election Day given the ECM and GFS outputs .

However the UKMO is much flatter at day 6 and doesn’t have that wedge of heights to the north which is needed to evolve in a more wintry way past that point .

So lots to keep an eye on over the next few days .

Incoming buzzwords..

North sea SST's...

Haven't look at them myself...
