Well, if something is 'a foot', the 12Z is the Achilles' heel!:shok:

Hardly a surprise the op has gone with mild when there wasn’t really any consensus on the 6z run with the mean going for above average 850s! Also with Ecm firmly in the mild camp and the UKMO in no mans land!

Don't worry about the op - it is more or less a synoptic outlier - perhaps would be more correct to say its right at the very edge of the envelope as it isn't impossible that it could verify but it always happens where the op jumps around the suite at that range when you have a potential pattern that is advertised in the suite.

I see your 7 and raise you 19 on the GFS ensembles 

GEFS are the best they have been in a while let’s hope it’s the start of something more blocked and not just another garden path

Effectively it is not part of the ensemble suite as they are different models, so we will see whether the old GFS or the new GFS has a better handle on the background signals. 

Certainly I remain an advocate of the old GEFS in FI, so am hopeful that we may see something of a better synoptic as we end 2019. JFF at D16 the GEFS members:

They have to keep banging the drum now, of course there will be downgrades along the way but what you cannot afford is 2 or 3 suites on the bounce downgrading as it tries to break the T240 barrier, i have never seen a recovery in those circumstances where an E'ly then goes on to verify, what to look for now in the next few days is flatliners between -10 and -15c in quantity - still odds against this for me but at least there is interest.

Day 14 means are about as useful as a chocolate teapot, the low res just won’t be picking up the usual spoilers that stop heights building too our north. One thing that is remaining strong is that PV around eastern canada and IMO whilst that is there it’s going to be very difficult.

Happy that heights appear to be building over us over the festive period, some nice dry days over Christmas will be very welcome!

FI ECM image posted from Weatherbell on another forum has the same Canadian pattern as the GEFS we have free access to. Westerly momentum, with apparently another torque thrown in for good measure, creating a ridge over Alaska and dropping a strong trough in a SE trajectory over Canada and US. Consequent ridge support over Greenland and with luck momentum from a southerly tracking Pacific jet to aid in ensuring any -NAO isn’t too west based. Note also a convection signal in the MJO charts I posted a few mins ago for westerly momentum in the central Atlantic certainly in week 1....and that should keep the door open to a southerly tracking Atlantic jet.

Im thinking today we might see NWP upgrading for cold between Xmas and NY as we move through towards the weekend 

that's next Wednesday courtesy of missing data  …………..

as a one off, you are right.  if it begins to gain continuity then you are wrong ….

Just for interest purposes only obviously but the Gfs in the extended unreliable time frame shows a very good example of explosive cyclogenesis with an area of low pressure exiting to the east of newfoundland rapidly developing into a violent storm system and tracking quickly northeast to the north of the UK producing a long stretch of 80+mph gusts with the central pressure bottoming out at an incredible 923 milibars! Worst of the winds stay to the north of Scotland, Ofcourse this is unlikely to verify but it's a very impressive system and would certainly give Scotland a dramatic start to the year as big Ben chimes!

The GFS ensembles are looking very good, much better for blocking and potential cold than the raw 850 temps would suggest.

Here are the 2m temps for Central England - that is a very strong signal at that range.

GFS hasn’t got a scooby past day 7. Look at the difference over Greenland in FI between 06z and 12z. It goes from 1035mb to 995mb! £10 says it’s a mild outlier

The graph form looks good towards the end as mentioned above but here are the mean 850's and height anomaly's

gensnh-21-0-384.thumb.png.3e8b065aa877ff0258081d4d8c5e0da5.pnggensnh-21-5-384.thumb.png.476aaea75d1cfccdc6376008a5b6d9ee.png

a mean of -4 into most of the country and that +ve height anomaly in a perfect position to our NW and -ve anomaly to our south.

ECM rolling out now.
