I'm not going to get too disheartened, at this early stage...given the number of times forecast spells of cold, Arctic air have failed to materialise, this past year!

But I guess there must be a first-time for everything?:oldlaugh:

Friday looks to be the best day of next week, according to the GFS 12z... temperatures reaching above 20c in the south, with sunshine for the majority of the British Isles, and torrential downpours for the western coasts... nice! :oldgood:

Well, if there's one thing I've learned from seventeen-years' model-watching, its never expect a cold northerly wind, that's forecast by the GFS to arrive on Day 12, to be worth the wait!:oldlaugh:

ECM continues to look best of the bunch, staying more settled through next week and into the weekend. Fingers crossed!

Yes mate and at 216 another ridge from the Azures looks like ridging up to the UK,240 should be a good un

ECM1-216.thumb.gif.552ab413c1638b401d49de3d4ee3b042.gif

this run seems to deflect unsettled weather away,lets hope that continues

Edit:well that went against my judgement :oldlaugh:

ECM1-240.thumb.gif.ae55449ec971df8d84f825ba0bca32fa.gif

still a good-ish run,not overly warm but mostly settled.

You nailed it Zak. Cracking ECM.. plenty of warm sunny spells at this stage looks a good call... Could be time to fire up the barbi again next week, which in this household is a big occasion

BIG UP ALL FRONTLINE WORKERS... LOTS OF LOVE AND RESPECT. Keep safe...

The JMA at 192 ends on a fine note too,i can't see an unsettled breakdown from there

Just catching up, ECM, UKMO & GEFS 12z mean to name but a few are indicating a much more settled spell next week as high pressure returns and in these very dark times under lockdown..a return of sunny days would be most welcome indeed!!☀️..fingers crossed!!

Evening all

After a typical day of April showers here in lowland East London what will May provide.

Looking out to T+240 tonight and the charts from the usual suspects:

ECM1-240.GIF?30-0gem-0-240.png?12gfs-0-240.png?12gens-0-1-240.png

ECM, GEM, GFS OP and GFS Control respectively from the 12Z output.

ECM, not for the first time recently, looks the "odd man out" with heights much lower over Greenland and an Atlantic LP heading towards the British Isles (hinted at on the GFS Control). The tilt of the trough looks more positive too.

The other models all show strong heights to the NW which keeps the jet running well to the south. Control has a pronounced mid Atlantic ridge leaving the British Isles in a very cool NE'ly flow with LP close to the south-east coast while GEM and GFS OP have a broadly N'ly flow with a pronounced trough over Scandinavia showing on the GFS OP.

None of this unusual for early May which often has an E'ly or N'ly flow as the winter flow ebbs.

Yes we are more likely to see such charts at this time of year than at any other, easterlies and northerlies a preety common with northern blocking. 

Models are preety similiar this eve, ECM not quite the same as the others longer term making more of the azores high which forces the trough through between heights to the north and SW..a bit suspect. The trend is for a return to settled weather, but under quite a cool airstream, chilly nights, mild days but nothing special with an increasingly chilly N/NE flow a heights advect to our NW. Trough to the east, could become quite showery, pressure most likely to eventually fall to our SW, end result something cyclonic with low heights moving through, back to the here and now synoptic.

I sure hope that these charts don't come off from day ten,they look shocking in terms of temps

EPS/GEFS mean 500mb and 850's temp anomaly's

they all show hp cell retrogressing into the Atlantic and trough over Scandi

GEFS ens show a cool down after day ten

Have a feeling judging by T138 on GFS 18z that this could turn out to be a warm one!

Yes looks slightly better than the 12z but from 162 it looks like a northerly is about to pounce.

watch around Iceland.

huge blocking unfolding up into Greenland,we would be drooling at a chart like this in winter,this always happens at this time of the year.

Speaking of stonkers, say hello to the GFS 18z NCMRWF 0z!

It's an absolute stonker, considering that it was yesterdays run! And of course, it will 100% verify! :oldlaugh:

I'm certainly not gonna lose any sleep over this 18z run.. Ntly??? Pull the other one... Thats about as likely as a 1 legged bloke at an ar@e kicking contest. I've not viewed the 18s for some time til now, and you know what... I'm glad... Its the same far fetched story as ever, the garden path is the only place it will ever lead us. I look forward to those heights being gone come the 0z runs.. Don't have nightmares... ☀️
