Cold brief northerly with a reloading pattern from the NW possible.

The GFS is probably underdoing those 850 temps a little, given its well known cold bias at those ranges by it's still a decent enough quick shot down. Certainly cold enough for s ow showers.

Overall it's a cooler outlook, but other than a brief northerly nothing too cold nor sustained. Snow opportunity for the usual suspects in toppler northerly, elsewhere probably cold and frosty if the GFS came off.

Still plenty of uncertainty after 120hrs,key to chance of some decent cold remains with

a long lasting continental feed.Gem best of the models at 10 days so far,also worth keeping

an eye on Gefs 850hpa to give some clues to 6 to 10 day temperatures.

The dry theme continues on today's runs, its one of those where a slight change in jet stream could lead to a much flatter pattern but there is enough troughing in Europe to prevent that happening, at least in the short term. 

Nothing wintry in the outlook but some decent signs that fog and frost could be the dominant weather for now.

Nothing Wintry in the outlook?

Did you not see this morning's ECM?

Although I caveat that with the likelihood it will be gone in tonight's run.

A decent lasting snowfall is the holy grail for me, but surely, frost and fog are also symbols of winter?

Whatever, the synoptics the last few weeks have been so different to last years that I'll take anything if it means a rest from endless zonality. In any case, it's still November. If the next weeks charts were coming up in late January i'd be disappointed but not as yet.

2m temps for the last 3 runs (for birmingham) show good agreement up to day 7...beyond that, it get's really messy.

Not sure actually, not so sure this ECM is that good tbh, hopefully it will develop something right at the end but more importantly hope the eps show something sustained in the extended.

ECM, GFS & GEM at 192 not a million miles apart.

It’s not far off it’s earlier run and still more of the run to follow. It wasn’t until day 10 that anything wintry was shown on this mornings run. It Could easily revert back tomorrow

Am I wrong in thinking the High has shifted too far west on that ECM charts for us- the cold plunge seems to miss us and head in to the Atlantic sea.

The remnants of that trough crossing the states looks key around day 8&9. If it goes N then it allows N Atlantic ridging to hold firm. The other option is it moves E more and deepens. This means we have to wait for another attempt at the ridging. The ECM day 9 seems to pull it N and thus allows firmer Atlantic ridging

12z EC shows the dangers of polar upper trough digging south too far west.

Yes the trough could disrupt into a cut-off low merging with troughing over SW Europe to allow for an easterly as high pressure extends over the top, but the source is a not particularly cold at depth airmass over eastern Europe. Could do with a direct arctic feed.
