Quite a bit of flip flopping between model runs at the edge of reliable range range right now (144-168hrs), often a sign models are struggling to adjust to signal of a pattern change. Expecting future runs between all models over rest of the weekend to show various scenarios for this time next week, and it won't be until early next week before a sense of coming together will occur. With that fully expecting at least one GFS run to show a raging northerly, followed by a long-fetch south westerly and atlantic steam rolling through, usually a sign we end up with something in the middle. 

General direction of travel probably is looking to our NW for our weather as we move through latter part of the month than any other direction, i.e. the attack and forcing is from the NW, which means most likely 'seasonal', and quite different in feel to the first two thirds of the month which so far has been dank, dreary and very mild.. hopefully some welcome sunshine will be back and frost.

T144 ukmo, gfs and gfs mean. Ukmo is preferred. I find the gfs mean interesting as it is more like the ukmo. Many of the ens are not dissimilar to ukmo. Let’s see what ecm brings.

Tantalising isn't it? If only the runs only went as far as +144... Maybe there's no point looking beyond then anyway? ?‍♂️

JMA should probably be the 168 etc

Tbh I think the die is cast earlier on down the west coast of greenland. The earlier Heighths pushing out of the USA have all but gone. Fi "about 144-172 hrs starts" could go on to show some decent output??

As others commented earlier, nothing much happening with high pressure to the south west of us, and gone has yesterday's plunge into Europe... Always nice to see a suggestion of pressure rising over Iceland (the country not the popular value supermarket)... On this run it's to the benefit of Scandinavia...

Yes I'd agree. The original runs which forced south east into Europe were aided by Heighths exiting the esb and threw the northern Atlantic. Hopefully they return and the jet takes a more advantageous course

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)...

Where are Exeter predicting cooler and chances of snow this week? 

Possibly colder by or around the 28th I feel.

12z UKMO looks good and is quite similar to its run this morning. Would more than likely bring some snow to higher ground of N England and Scotland if it verifies of course.

This model actually shifts the cold a bit more westwards than the 12z GFS and the 12z ICON.

Yes this is where things are getting interesting, with regards to coupling or a potential disconnect... (see previous post regarding wishful thinking )

Again cue shouts of overly progressive GFS...

I salivate at the mention of heights appearing, and then the penny drops, and I bother to check the temps...

Very fickle gfs today, huge swings. Is it the model or things that up In the air??? Could be a backdoor easterly here

Yes, pay no regard to deep fi it will only give rise to unfounded hope... Or does it? 

Hint... Don't look east

The UKMO has a deeper cold air mass  over the British Isles compared to the GFS at day 6.  The GFS looks quite fluid in comparison, whist the UKMO entrenches the cold in situ. See if this evenings ECM run sides with or produces something. Anyways looks like an active cold front to pass through the UK mid week with quite a temp drop after its passage.
