Snow event Sunday looking likely 

A chance of some snow, especially if you live over 100m ASL I imagine. Freezing level at around 200-300m for the south Midlands, uppers at around -5c!! 
I’d say the Northern Cotswolds would do ok with this if it happened , a long way off yet though.

Imagine that - -36c uppers about to move over the Great lakes.

Christmas Eve/Day is repeatedly being shown to feature a very mild S'ly with upper temps approaching 10c! At this rate the daffs will be out by mid Jan.

It's fast becoming clear that any early season optimism for a cold winter is quickly diminishing by the day....blocking nowhere to be seen.  A SSW likely in order to save this winter would be the favoured call currently.

Getting nearer and nearer to neutrally tilted advection into the pole though with that scandi high, just need some help from the other side of the hemisphere, i am still going for a late Jan SSW - whether that would have effect on the trop quick enough to rescue it for you is entirely another matter though as i know you have strict criteria in terms of not liking cold spells that are too late in season.

reasonable based on current fi ens guidance (though more sceuro than scandi i'm afraid)

GEM and GFS very different by day 7 with regards heights over the Arctic, GEM more like the UKMO I think.

I think the most important word in that post was 'if' 

Given we're 14 days (336hrs) away I think it's amazing that anybody would hang on a one model forecast alone..    

hi

it isnt 1 model run though, these charts have consistently suggested a retrogression of the mean upper trough sited initially to our east, then over us , eventually  to our west on a series of consecutive charts. As such their consistency suggests a strong likelyhood of pretty high accuracy  as John Holmes discovered when he studied the accuracy of these charts a while ago. It is now the method i employ myself as i want to know what is actually most likely to happen and not get lead up the garden path by inconsistent operational FI predictions.
I guess though if these charts were suggesting a cold spell, theyd be believed more...lol..

Good things can come from a sceuro high Blue

 

Of course proceedings across the pond will have a bearing.

Indeed Crewe. If T+333 verifies (like I'll win the Lotto without even buying a ticket!) I might even volunteer, for the farm, on Xmas Eve!:shok:

JFF - A HP cell somewhere close to the UK for Christmas Day the last two runs:

Other things of note are a more organised PV and ATM mild chances>cold chances. The regrouping of the tPV seems like a product of the Arctic wedge dissipating after D10.

Of course all subject to change and unlikely, even assuming the GFS has the Arctic wedge modelled well. This verification is even a more doubtful assumption looking at the D10 GEFS:

So we are heading for a potential pattern change and hopefully something more promising showing up in the next few days?

Isn't that the PC way of saying (in a non-binary way) convection, feb?:oldlaugh:

I agree, although i sympathize with anyone thoroughly fed up of the wind and rain.

FWIW i recommend people don't take GFS runs post 120hrs too seriously.

Its difficult to see a bona fide cold spell for christmas but a dry cool/surface cold spell is not out of the question IMO.

Yep. We need the raising heights from day 8 to be more in our vicinity as opposed to our south east. There is time for very favourable adjustments. Here's hoping.
