UKMO , GEM and ECM 0Zs looking broadly similar for the cold shot on 4th Jan.

and GFS 6Z continues in much the same fashion.

 

Could be rather chilly in the NE of the country especially for a couple of days.

Sign of replacement of high pressure,with temperatures on the way down.The next few days will show 

if the pressure rise starts heading north,how far could be crucial for cold lovers.A definite chance of

pressure  rise changing from south east  to northwest.

It's a wonder the GFS ever bothers going out to 384 anyways...Entertainment value at least

Indeed, there has been the rare occasion when there was a strong signal for cold and it picked up way out in fi 2010 springs to mind but it’s as rare as rocking horse poo to be fair

Well I did have an incline that things were indeed ready for a turning point and I'm not let down by that notion! Some real data to get ya teeth into this morning as we gain.   And the temp plots are by far the best yet as we move into January.  And pronounced blocking appears again with some notable 2m temp plots to boot..... has the Real winter ride now begun?!?  ... probably imo!!!!

Just don't get your hopes up too high for a few days!

 

I should say so!  Anyway, nice all the same to see something a little more positive for us poor old coldies!

Just out of interest given we are now 7 days from Christmas lets see how close the models are from 7 days out ( I will revisit with the actual chart for comparison after Christmas)

JMA JN192-21.thumb.gif.b3fbdcf4afe71cd0992bbf8d985eae9d.gif Many differences between them but key areas to me look to be Atlantic / UK and possibly most interesting the differences / struggles with the higher pressure toward Russia / Siberia.

 

 

gfsnh-0-6.thumb.png.ecfdb84aa6fd378c4207749f2763740c.png Looks like the NASA/GEOS5 was closest for the UK but the JMA done well with the position of the lows in the Atlantic, overall the models struggled with the higher pressure over the UK and over done the lower pressure / trough to the east.

 With the MJO going through short spells in phases 3, 4 & 5 and the outlook for phases 6 / 7 upcoming that looks to tie in with what the models are showing DecemberPhase3all500mb.thumb.gif.57d6fda57b54057b4776eadbc566966d.gifimage.thumb.png.49aa86bc5d6801e18ecd75d57eb6dcd4.png1834473907_DecemberPhase4all500mb(1).thumb.gif.f1865ce6845b6a11bed7a68d2a5c13b8.gifimage.thumb.png.ed17e838e671650fc7917d0e200ccc57.png DecemberPhase5all500mb.thumb.gif.ba5c2b1f9c53d25b793ea6f72660a742.gifimage.thumb.png.b903380de042645f458f286eef227e57.png

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. Well we are now in phase 7 MJO although models only want to stay in phase 7 for a few days ( I would say the longer the better should any higher pressure develop like shown in the those phase 7 charts above to give us a better chance at something colder, though I think we are in a slight lag period and still stick with that general outlook above, also the phase 7 for January looks more favourable than that for December so ideally remaining in phase 7 heading into the start of January would be best but not sure if that will happen.)

Looking at the charts for the strat some warming perhaps developing during the first week of Jan and some hints of a possible displacement of the PV toward Scandinavia (though the models have struggled this year with strength of the PV and any warming so caution / low confidence with this)

Some upstream amplification of the pattern showing it's hand,this from the Pacific ridge by day 10 so hopefully something will come of this and we see our high developing further north later.

Meantime it's a pretty much ridge/trough pattern across the Atlantic with the jet to the north keeping any high pressure around middle latitudes.Currently a lot of mild tropical maritime air in the flow and for many of us quite a benign spell of high pressure dominance for sometime-away from the north west that is where Atlantic fronts are currently bringing rain.

It looks like at the end of the week we may well import some colder air from the north west as fronts make more progress south east.

Thursday

We will have to see how this goes but it looks like another Atlantic high builds in which will likely mean some quite cold temperatures at the surface with night frosts again.

Another nicked chart from kind subscribers to weatherbell...

There is distinct interest in this longe range EPS chart.

As you say distinct interest as this is the chart that I see

Looks even more impressive when viewed like this!

Thanks @Mattwolves,Happy new year to you too,and enjoy your break,i am not back at work until the 6th:oldsmile:

just about to mention these few ens but in NH profile as i thought that they would look better:shok::oldgrin:

12 gefs ens shows a clear cold snap around the 4th Jan and possibly another one around the 9th>,one to watch

today's v 26th

Good to take a break from model watching over the last week. The models showing a more mixed picture for the New Year period, than the week just gone, but everything seems to be just coming back on itself - in terms of the positioning of the current ridge. 

New Years Eve looking quite pleasant and a cold frosty start to 2020. Something milder and wetter 2nd then a flip to a cold polar shot on the 3rd, then high pressure back settling into its current position.

I've not been studying the longer term ensembles etc, just focusing on the near term at the moment.

An inkling of hope maybe, after a fortnight of dire verging on direissimo model output?  GEM and GFS at T240:

image.thumb.jpg.c218ab9e579274e8af236e6db1478b12.jpgimage.thumb.jpg.76886a857fe90351ecb95fc1466bb31b.jpg

GEM with the better ridge, no matter that the cold doesn't quite hit on this run, detail to be firmed up, but GFS also suggestive of a northerly at this time.  What's brought this about?  

MJO? Possibly, ECM and GEM ens seem to favour a brief excursion into phase 7 but then regroup and go for it all over again:

image.thumb.jpg.bfd2863a50f5e251f73fad6ae8170fda.jpgimage.thumb.jpg.f51c6ecf2c45dd95a81446a7681dfcff.jpg

But once again that is now a jam tomorrow situation, as much of this waiting for snow malarkey is in recent years.  We've still got a way to go, I think.
