It might not be, but hemispherically you can see pressure repeatedly being placed on the zonal hemispheric flow by that Russian HP. 

Personally I would not discount a SSW mid winter...

Well as expected, the northerly the ECM was showing previously isnt a pattern change. Fair point though about the Russian HP.

I have no opinion myself on the possibilities of a mid winter SSW, thats too far ahead, ill wait to see what the SPV does first before thinking about a SSW.

Well it looks like it’s strengthening big time high up but lower down remains quite subdued .....I’m not going to second guess what follows that although it would seem obvious ...

ECM 240 hrs has tracking low centre southwest of U.K. interesting track if it remains.
Keeping the cooler/ colder theme going for most of U.K. and unsettled.

All waiting to see where the high pressure will form as the met office suggest after this 

unsettled spell.Very interesting and hopeful for cold weather fans.

Looks to me like the normal ebb and flow in nwp this morning as we head to towards something more seasonal.

6 z gfs again early doors has lost the Heighths exiting the the esb ete. Leaves the PV to pump up and spread sse. Not sure where that leaves things long term but Id suspect a more mobile west to east flow. Hopefully wrong as usual but hey ho and all thst

But Monday and Tuesday look okay... I guess I'm one of those odd faqirs, who think that very mild conditions can be as good as very cold!

Well, whaddayouknow: a synoptic that, back in the 1960s, might have produced 3-hours' steady snowfall... But, in our currently warming world -- bugger all!

Waiting to see a run that extends the Atlantic trough extension se rather than ne or ene. We do see break away small systems running se (interestingly as the timing gets closer) but so far, all the models seem to extend the Azores ridge ene in week 2

A brief window of interest on Fri 20th for the North and East of the country according to the GFS 6z.

Nice to see the -8 isotherm making an appearance on the model output within the 7 day range i suppose

Yep, day 7 is critical. Ecm day 7 highlights what you are referring to. What is that energy to the west going to do? Fast forward to day 10 and we do start to see some propensity for energy to head south east. Lets see what the 12z runs bring. Fascinating as ever.

Think it might get much colder everywhere, models are only slowly adjusting to a big pattern change. Maybe a prolonged cold spell. 

 

Will you be around if the snow arrives considering you manage to pre_order a ps5 lol

Perfect timing if it were a month on! Still, a welcome change if it were to transpire even in November.

Wow, wow, I would have given you a like for that sleety if I had any..thanks mods!

Anyway, this upcoming cold snap..if it happens at all, has come out of left field, never anticipated anything wintry before December but perhaps we will see something colder?..ps..what happened to the anticyclonic charts recently???they have imploded..anyway, bye for now.

It would deliver in late November with surface flow off the continent .......single gefs members being quoted are never a good sign though ...

Over the years I have found the models seem to take an age to make their minds up when a change to a split or se tracking jet might be in the air.   The one exception being nov  2010.

A slight deterioration in the forecast for cold & snow potential this week ( with the exception being the UKMO )

GFS 06z very progressive with the atlantic > thus not allowing the cold to become established across the uk before being swept away East.

Usually the meeting point is a halfway house which may then present some chances of snow for Scotland...

If UKMO correct then wintryness more widespread...

Strange days (well it is 2020) when the presumption is that the GFS  is more likely than Exeter... Not that I'm saying otherwise! 

Cue the usual "xyz model is dross" etc etc (it's been a while, so might as well get one in now)...

In a way, I think if it went out further, the UKMO would likely lead to a similar scenario of the 00Z NAVGEM. The mid-Atlantic and Icelandic High showing some fairly decent amplification where the Low on its Western side becomes negatively tilted and rather squashed, as it shifts Eastwards under those wedge of heights to our North. Compared to some other models, there’s more amplification to that High Pressure, and the mid to Western Atlantic Lows don’t blow away that ridging.

However, it’s likely that the Low to our West in the Northern Atlantic would push/disrupt in a more Southerly track under that mid-Atlantic and Icelandic ridging on the UKMO, thanks to the Azores High generally suppressed further South. Better possibilities for keeping the cold going, and probably not necessarily for just Northern UK:
