No surprise that ECM reverts back to form and drops any sign of blocking on the 12z run at 240t ( chart below ) However, GFsS op still holds a beacon of light with its last two runs but will it still show heights building to the NE in the next few runs?

Yes, I agree, although to be fair, that chart you've posted does have a chance of some amplification. But it probably won't look like that on the 18th anyway

The models still messing around with that low to the nw around day 4. 

The GFS has a weaker feature this time and desperately tries to separate it cleanly from the upstream trough .

Doesn't quite manage it here but if that happens then those weak height rises Steve M has just mentioned would be able to exert a bit more forcing and be further south .

Upstream the GFS has edged a bit towards the ECM.

Its quite a complicated picture upstream . Unlikely to be a reprieve from the PV but the transition bit is still looking a bit uncertain .

The GFS holds onto those weak heights south Greenland even after the PV assault ! This is good news and has the jet further south than the ECM .

My word you need to see the differences around the uk from the 00z run to the 18z run!!compare the 114 hours chart on the 18z to the 132 hour chart from the 00z!!chalk and cheese!!any more changes and things could be looking a little more interesting 5 days from now!!

Some very interesting GFS charts this morning within the 10day range. Could it be down to the GEFS MJO forecast going towards higher amplitude phase 7?

On a personal note I'm travelling up to York in the next few hours from Kent wish me luck!!

Also I work on the trains and my company advised people not to use the trains today as you may get stranded if as expected the disruption for Ciara does occur. Tomorrow could be a few issues also take care everyone!

Meanwhile in the short term 100% chance of snow on GFS this has slowly been upgrading each run lately. The images attached are for London and North Yorkshire surely we must see something wintry even down South? Upper air temps minus 7 on both roughly

Probably the best gfs run of the winter! However, the entire run is influenced by the southerly tracking low at just 96hrs which allows a small ridge to form in its wake, which if you follow the run rides north of the vortex, sending further lows on a southerly track and eventually around day 8 joins the atlantic ridge. The ukmo doesnt develop the small ridge and looks to send the low at 96hrs further north. If the ukmo is correct the remainder of the gfs is garbage....

A quick look at another ECM height fail, today -v- yesterday:

ECE1-144.thumb.gif.f9f07eb0ab187e9173e070a9861df087.gif301213601_ECE1-168(2).thumb.gif.3d2d82a5522e2a7cba169b260401a0ad.gif

A further step towards the GFS outlook which GFS spotted 48h before ECM. The advantage with the GFS forecast was that it was clearing the tPV vortex from the NW giving the Atlantic a breathing space for the euro high to be sucked to, whereas the ECM was predicting more euro heights.

Some good run showing up with that potential on the GFS, so promising, but too early to be more than just hopeful that later in February we will get a sustained seasonal spell. As others have posted, great charts showing up. See how that goes.

The GFS 0z showing a significant wet spell incoming focus mainly in western regions, with snow at times possible anywhere; totals:

240-777UK.thumb.gif.b8b2230d2ca8606c0b6e709b3d31dec4.gif

Several storms looking likely but again too far out to be certain, at T180:

This looks like a change in pattern so model clarity may be lacking for a day or so as they get on the same song sheet.

Keep safe.

Arpege goes with the gfs at 96 hours and slides the low across southern england!!looks like  the catalyst is that low!!if it slides favourably then everything goes south with it!!you can see this morning have edged the jet stream slightly south and east afterwards similar to gfs!!

Yes, that low is a trigger. As it dives SE the warm sector following sends a wedge of heights towards Iceland. This acts as a small block and the following westerly flow is better directed:

ECM and GEM different so my confidence is limited.

Fascinating run from GFS with the little wedge of  high pressure ahead of the trough actually moves anti-clockwise around the trough eventually settling around Iceland!

No snow ‘seen’, Monday hasn’t happened yet.  

I highly doubt this is correct looking at the temps.

The hunt for some proper cold weather continues. May I offer this winter chart from GFS at 312t to feast your eyes over. GFS continues a consistency in its runs showing some type of blocking to develop from 240t in the operational model charts. Little support shown from the other main models though.
