Thanks for letting us know

If you're thanking someone for relaying their weather-related thoughts on a weather forum, you will have a lot of thanking to do... 

On the other hand, if you are just throwing a bit of sarcasm about, a Model Forum Host is probably not the best person to aim it at...

You know it's bad when the CFS gets pulled out... so that's exactly what I've done lol.

Not without some interest at least. A straight northerly followed by a UK high would at least be seasonal for later January. Perhaps February will be the month when some of the cold up north gets let out, at weekendly intervals. A possibly rather cold and stormy start to March too - nothing unusual there.

In the short term however, all rather bland. Again I hear myself saying - at least it will be much drier than September-December...

Loves a "break from model watching" does our Damian. As if it's gonna magically make things better on his return.

It probably won't but why depress yourself watching the same old rubbish churned out by the models. It does change, it can take time, so why not concentrate on real life in the meantime? Weather/model watching can become an obsession. It's good to take a break sometimes...

The models could be underestimating the amplitude, given they seem to be playing catch up on the MJO's progress. Clutching straws I know, but a possibility. 

However, given the lag of 10 days or so of the impacts of more favourable 7-8-1 for HLB, we are unlikely to see the models showing anything for a week at least.

In the meantime, not a good look from the operationals if it's snow you want.

I the end, the MJO didn't get near 7-8-1 and now looks to come out in 4-5. 

So more Westerlies likely.

The Atlantic is hitting the buffers here towards day ten and looking a bit more amplified than previous run.

Yes, but next time round might be a stronger signal,

Admittedly that adds days and pushes us towards the the end of Jan for any significant influence.  NH view as per 18z T192:

Southerly tracking jet, everywhere except the run up to the UK off the Atlantic. Throws hands up and then throws up in my hands...

A colder northwesterly feed still shown in the wake of a low pressure system moving southeast over the top of high pressure out West around the 3rd/4th this high then like I said yesterday shown to sit to the southeast of the UK.. This would bring a spell of rain southeast over the country with wintry showers for Scotland.

EUROPE_PRMSL_ZERO_102.thumb.jpg.4608da8e6d5c6089d05b42f817e49288.jpg

The Gfs also showing colder conditions for particularly England and Wales from around 5th of January until the end of the run really with a slack feed off the continent this would bring very Frosty nights with daytime temperatures staying in the low to mid single figures for central and southern parts there would be fog too in places perhaps freezing fog and mostly dry for these areas as Atlantic disturbances are kept at bay to the Northwest of the country with milder but not particularly mild conditions for Ireland. 

5th..

EUROPE_PRMSL_TEMP2M_216.thumb.jpg.b1b96f71a5b9aa7ae00bda9e51ee9783.jpg

That's the Gfs but Gem and Ecm very different surface wise with a more established strong west or northwesterly flow across the UK, bringing eventually some rain to most parts during the time period after the 5th which is when the Gfs keeps things settled and increasingly cold from stagnent conditions and no source of mild air except for northwestern areas. Strong winds would also be a feature too with the ecm and particularly the Gem as increasingly active low pressure systems move across the Gem in particular showing a very unsettled 6-10 days with heavy rain sweeping through even a little snow to some places but the emphasis would be on increasingly stormy conditions going by the Gem with milder then colder intervals alternating at first then colder generally as a southerly tracking jetstream takes place. 

Ecmwf..

Ofcourse its important not to get hung up on any particular model when there are various scenarios best looking at the average especially for the time period I'm showing and putting the average output of these together we have this..

Around the 5th or 6th high pressure still in charge for southern areas but a more unsettled pattern beginning to take place for northern areas this at first would be mild but then as more unsettled weather becomes more established more widely we would see colder incursions from the Northwest behind systems bringing the threat of wintry showers and perhaps back edge wintriness on occasion to any active frontal systems moving southeast. But this output is 7-10 days away so not to be taken too literally but the average is consistent atm.

not quite correct as still in phase 7 and a few go into phase 8 (though some also go toward phases 4/5) but as I mentioned in my last post I still think we are in a bit of a lag period in terms of feedback of conditions. CFSO_phase_small.thumb.gif.6fe84a98c77c68b04be6534610f7d695.gifECMF_phase_MANOM_51m_small.thumb.gif.3d9228ec464f6ff86152be06c3e328e8.gifJMAN_phase_51m_small.thumb.gif.f5e64bc9c87b90abd753f8e987e3f4e5.gif http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/mjo/graphics/rmm.74toRealtime.txt

Just looking at the latest runs and  i see there are still some differences around days 5/6 as to where the Atlantic high develops it's centre as it topples towards us.

The 18z run from GFS settles the high a little further north at the weekend which would help to trap surface cold after the main wedge of colder uppers passes through.Night frosts and colder days would ensue especially away from the far north.

Nothing dramatic but for maybe a few days feeling more like Winter if it can ward off the raging westerlies to our north-and at least prolong the drier spell for many of us.

Very different FI on GFS 18z.  Attempts to build a Scandy High but it sinks too far south.

At least it's trying!  GFS T348:

I'm actually quite surprised by this run, as it is not overrun by the vortex at all, pub run?  I'm never sure about this is it the 18z  that has been down the pub or us?

Then again, we might just all be chasing unicorns? As the winters of 1947 and '79 and '81-'82 clearly had nothing whatsoever to do with Solar minima, could it be that Solar minima are somewhat overrated phenomena?

That said, of course we'll get another cold winter eventually --- it's just that no-one can reliably say when...If I'm wrong, will that millionaire-genius please stand up!:oldgood:

Again....no.  It is nothing to do with Schwabe cycle minima....it’s the grand cycles

Very cold run for england wales from friday night i think on the 18z!!frosty nights and cold days!!better than nothing!

GFS seems to want to prolong that too all the way to around 14th January and the cold conditions would of been aided a fair bit by the preceding northerly or northwesterly wind progged for this weekend where the high essentially builds over the top of the country keeping the cold air in place but ofcourse thats only one model showing this and there are other options on the table atm and a stronger more unsettled westerly flow with milder conditions are more likely atm for the time frame of 6-10 days atleast anyway thereafter a colder version of unsettled conditions perhaps taking place. :oldgood:

Roll on spring, Oh it is Spring "where the frack did that winter go? Answers on a postcard please, diabolical ain't it not the same as it used to be back in the 20th century to much pollution and climate change, (SNIPPED)

Climate change has nothing to do with the flat northern hemisphere pattern we have at the moment so don't link the two together. This is a normal weather pattern for winter, not weather patterns which sends WAA all the way to the pole bringing 20 to 30C above average temperatures which in turns bring the phrase of Arctic amplification into play. 

It's frustrating as a cold snow lover too see the charts at the moment  but it's what it is. It can change but if or when that will be then who knows. Chance of some polar air heading down via the toppler but how much heads southwards is up for debate. Either way, snowfall looks very limited by this set up.

Just when one thought it couldn’t get anything worse the 0z Ecm dispels that myth. Euro and the Azores high even more prominent in this latest run with any Atlantic onslaught looking far less likely now next week as weather systems merely brush the far northwest.
