Seems on the 6z gfs and ec the fun and games ie serious blocking are all in deep fi. 240 ec is a bit flatter than gfs but given the swings all very much subject to change.

The ever-present threat of high pressure rebuilding is becoming more clear in the GFS ensembles and now apparent in the ECM operational. As it's the form horse it would be unwise to dismiss the possibility.

This might be reverse psychology for my self-protection but at the moment I remain of the view that we are likely to see several days of colder conditions with perhaps a little snow to low levels for some fortunate people. Nothing substantial or seismic before settled conditions prevail ahead of the next Atlantic reload. It will make the first half of January cold.

what is stark is how many attempts the Atlantic ridge makes at getting into Greenland, 

 

 

 

As a matter of interest, can this ever happen? I'm pretty sure we debated this once and the hp cell over Greenland is always distinct from the one in mid-Atlantic. They never truly join? Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure that's been stated on here even by Murr.

Having lurked for a while, watching some of our erstwhile members chew lumps of each other I just want to remind everyone of the old adage “ get the cold in first!”

We look to be entering a cold/ very cold phase and I’m pretty sure the temps will drop lower than modelled and snow will pop up at the last minute almost anywhere... we’re entering the most exciting period of winter weather for some time, strap yourself in!!!

That low might go SE and become a slider? I don't think it is a problem

Where is the next Atlantic reload? Or are you talking about NW/SE flow? If so that would make January cold.

Still a lot of uncertainty over track of a secondary low swinging in from the northwest across the west and south on Monday, most models take it south across northern France, but UKV / UKMO fax take it across southern England with some snow.

Agree with others that rest of the timeframes of this mornings runs look dry though away from coastal areas. Though I suspect models will pick up on troughs or fronts that are hard to model too far out that may bring some wintry ppn inland.

The ECM mean is far better than the op to my surprise with a cold easterly out to day 10.

My one bit of advice to readers this morning is to take a look at the chart for yourself first, before reading the negative comments on here. 
 

Strange comment. Cant see any negative comments, just people discussing their point of view and interperating the output how they see it...thought that was what this thread was about?!

Was just about to post the mean, that’s a very good one with the whole U.K. under -5/6c uppers.

Indeed, it also adds some credibility to the easterly being shown on the GFS parallel run around the day 10 mark as well.

Agreed. 

Going to be an exhausting day let alone weekend or even week, getting hung up on each run. 

Solely on yesterday's output, bigger picture is follow the means. 

Thou shalt not take an op run as a weather forecast in FI... Or even for Monday coming by the sounds of things.

Just a thought but anyone investing in charts struggling with Greenland heights in FI might want to show equal consideration to the suggestion of possible scandi heights as an evaluation. I'm not saying either will or won't happen, only quite a few options being shown on this morning's output.

It remains fluid with post-d7 as it was yesterday. No real clues in the gefs and despite the clusters we saw on the ecm I doubt they are conclusive. It is clear this morning's ecm has now gone completely away from its GH scenario and is in line with the main gefs cluster and yesterday's gfs ops. So a delay to the next low pressure system from the NW enable HP to creep east and maybe ridge into the UK (transient topple).

ecm run: anim_gsq3.gif gfs d8+: anim_grz8.gif

The gfs from yesterday suggested a repeating pattern but messier with every rise and fall. The ecm mean is not very useful atm due to the options not likely to have a middle ground.

The gfs 0z op falls within another cluster, about 14%; less of a delay in the d7-10 period of the feed into the trough and some WAA as it drops big giving an upstream Greenland wedge. A similar amount of ens give us an Iceland wedge. The main cluster remains the continuation of the NW>SE flow, but less distinct.

Same thoughts as yesterday, we are in a below-average cooler flow, nothing too cold or snowy for most. The NH profile is simply not looking interested in a sustained colder upper flow; the Russian high spoiler preventing any chance of a long fetch easterly or a sustained NE'ly, so scraps off the cut-off lows as they drag cold pools on the jet from N/NW?

Better than this time last year!
