28 - 31. Snow cant be ruled out have you seen the 850s improve in situ run to run with a north Easterly flow full of disturbances and troughs

GFS gives some severely cold nights under a slack flow. Would be looking at -5 to -10 minimums on that run.

I'd managed to convince myself there'd be a backtrack or downgrade this morning. 

Wowzers, incredible evolution, run on run, and the commentary here isn't half bad either. 

Not strictly model related, but have you guys actually had any sleep?

Yeah without doubt! Ill be watching the other 3 runs today with an eagle eye and keeping an eye on twitter to see what the Berlin charts are saying!

I can't see a reason why the vortex wouldn't split...but I'm no strat expert by a long shot. 

Just hope we can see some splits reappear in the operational runs soon.

The only downside is that the GFS seems to be backing away from a proper split SSW...the 18z ensembles were a real backtrack in this regard. The 0z just displaces the SPV to Canada

Is it needed though? 

I have this question in the past, if the UK is already in a favourable wintry set up, would you want a SSW/MMW event to occur? For instance, winter 1976-77, the mildest part of that winter occurred after such an event. The coldest part of winter 2009-10 occurred before SSW/MMW.

Its always the way for coldies...

Looked at GFS - ecstatic.

Looked at UKMO - not ecstatic...

I've got everything crossed EC follows GFS!!

Don't look at the GFS control run post day 9, you'll be even less ecstatic lol

This year I'm leaning towards yes, we'll need the SSW if we're to carry on with wintry potential throughout January and February.

This is an intriguing question ....

 

But I also have one of my own , are we seeing these eye candy trop scenarios because the GFS is seeing a SSW ? 

I shall pass that onto Crewe and Scott , the more experienced and knowledgeable

It's a sort of GFS/UKMO hybrid, much like GEM

its further south with the troughing , per GFS...

UKMO looks further North, infact UKMO is poor IMO, the trough will fill at 144..

In short, no.

Essentially what we have seen since October is a SSW precursor pattern play out. Ural blocking has played a huge part in that. What we're seeing at the moment are trop led shenanigans which have been in the script since November- remember I was quite bullish about a weak TPV this month.

The UKMO output is poor, no skirting around that

Maybe poor is harsh lol.

I think I meant in comparison to GFS ...

Let's hope EC is more GFS  anyway...

Worth noting that the GFS parallel run isn’t far off from the UKMO at t144 and still goes on to produce a fairly decent northerly by t186 as well as blocking over Greenland in FI in line with the operational run!

This pattern definitely needs a kick in the teeth to actually provide some meaningful cold. It's hardly a winter wonderland anywhere in Europe now. But definitely a backtrack today regarding a split. Clicked through the GEFS and saw maybe one?

ECM 120 & 144

....pretty good! Obviously the quickest route to cold being getting the low south or south east of the UK, which it does at 144 and the floodgates open for the cold to move south.

Just one other point, this chart backs up a point made a few days ago, and dispels the myth some like to use that the pattern ALWAYS shifts east nearer the time...if that was the case the software would be changed. If anything its drifted west on this occassion.

Morning. Gfs oz looks a great evolution this morning altho not mirrored by the control. Ukmo slightly underwhelming but a longer route I'd suspect. Slight variations are going to come as the actual time scale arrives ie forecast but any changes now should be minimal given the consictencey over the last few days. Also the blocking looks well laid foundation wise.

Easily done, some days it doesn't seem to update until last thing even though it's 00z. I guess it has a low priority on resources.
