So … do we have much faith in model output after T+144? Is it worth getting all down in the dumps over another poor GFS run? Maybe not for now.

GEM backtracked towards the GFS at T144:

The UKMO looks odd with that low where it is, more indicative of algorithms going awry than a likely feature?

It does look like it:

An example at 216 hours where the 12Z GEM goes for the Northerly (looks like it would topple, possibly with some cut-off heights left over Greenland).

looks nothing like the ECM both GEM and GFS are near identical to each other is this another let down?

I guess one could say that any attempt at weather-forecasting is inherently probabilistic?

There has been absolutely no decent support for the northern arm to relent enough to allow anything other than a toppled ....... sorry coldies .....mind you, a decent topper would be something this winter!

spacer.pngUKMO 12z @144

At least we are now actually discussing 144 charts ( as opposed to just 384 charts ) !

The UKMO 12z @144 is significant (IMO ) because it is the first time we have seen any amplification at all at this range recently.

In addition the UKMO 12z @144 is not that dissimilar to the ECM 12Z @ 216 that we saw on Thur evening 3 days ago ).

GEM gets there in the end. Don’t forget it’s outperforming the GFS still. Hopefully the ECM will follow suit ...

True BA it's becoming NNW wind would suffice a decent winter outbreak!!!,,

The gem solution is one which the eps control has sniffed last few days with the next system sliding se against the remnants of the ridge .....

GEM/GFS a world apart at 168....

And they are both totally different to UKMO at 144..

Clear as mud this evening.

Yes, agreed, and that is what we should be watching as the ECM rolls.

First, does the ECM show the low SW of the UK at T144 with amplification upstream, UKMO T144:

If it does not, does it show retrogression of the high as per GEM at T192:

Popcorn, anyone?

Yes, weird, the GEM moved towards the GFS then still managed to find a route to that ridge and trough. Usually when that happens I think that background signals are in play? Time will tell if that is the case or simply the models are spitting out representations of the clusters per run, to hedge their bets!

Anyway the GEFS suite is unashamedly awful right out to D16 offering little cheer or hope, so hopefully that is not where we will land. Even the cluster that are close to the ECM take, few and far between, end up not worth the computing time.

ECM 12z op needs to defy its mean and show some consistency within the reliable...

Some interesting outputs for over a week away have been appearing but the chance of a long lasting cold spell in the next 8-14 days from now is looking unlikely so while the output from various models have shown higher pressure to the west with a northerly that scenario is currently looking unlikely but Woudn't rule it out obviously atm.

Anyway back to the short term, a very deep area of low pressure set to move to the west of Scotland during tomorrow ofcourse and some heavy snow for higher parts of Scotland especially the mountains from the weather front associated with the storm which will be very active with a squall line developing within the back edge of the rain, wind gusts widely for England of 45-50mph later in the afternoon but perhaps 55mph in places on the back edge. Gusts over 60mph for the far West of Wales and southwest England possible. 

gusts of 70-80mph likely for the Irish sea. 

60+mph for many parts of northern Ireland and Ireland, 80-90mph is possible for the western isles of Scotland later tomorrow depending on the exact proximity the area of strongest winds are around the low centre.

06_38_ukpreciptype.thumb.png.0b71c470535af94ddfef217c7f9be3db.png

Anyway that all moves through tomorrow night with heavy wintry showers for parts of western Scotland this may fall as snow to some lower levels too. 

Then for tuesday we have this vigorous system here..

This system bringing a stormy afternoon and evening on Tuesday for many parts of England and Wales with gusts of 50-60mph inland this accompanied by rain that will be heavy and persistent in places that pushes into England, Wales, Ireland and fringing into northern Ireland, southern and possibly central Scotland with snow on higher ground here on the northern side, then we have the cold front that is set to try and move to the east during Tuesday night but ripples moving along this keep the rain continuing for England with some very heavy rain in association with another squall line possible this perhaps taking until after dawn on Wednesday to clear the far southeast along with the very strong winds. Tuesday is looking much quieter with lighter winds for Scotland and Northern Ireland.

I'm not sure about the background signals, there looks to be agreement now on MJO  phase 7 albeit briefly..

GEFS not great-

I suspect EC might show a toppler day 9 this evening...

Well already I think the UKMO option is off the table on the ECM, T96, ECM first:

image.thumb.jpg.3cecbf1f9136d681a0f7b9fe516034fe.jpgimage.thumb.jpg.97627ccda01c1f0905e0ec8f86b7333b.jpg

That low at the extreme SW of the jet it is just a kink in an isobar on ECM, so it will hardly become the key low at T144.

T144, well now that ECM is not following UKMO, what about GEM, here's both ECM first:

ECM much more amplified upstream, put the red eyes in and it is a Terminator skull!, so while I'm not sure it will follow the GEM it could certainly produce an interesting evolution from here, let's see.

Edit: hint at retrogression T192, not as clean as GEM, too much vortex left in the way, ECM first

12z even more amplified interested where this is headed along same lines of 00z? That lobe of vortex is annoying though hard to see something sustained atm but possibly turning much colder from north.

ECM flatter and further east, hence nothing of note. No surprise, this happens 99 times out of 100, of course, could still change back, but people need to be realistic

aye back to square one again could well be back to another Bartlett again what a change from 12h ago disapointing

EC is OK, it looks cold as we hit next weekend so some frosty nights likely.

Could do with a bit of help from the MJO by day 10 onwards for some Atlantic retrogression.
