I know it’s deep in FI but another couple of frames on this would eclipse anything we’ve been seeing! It is a definite possibility though as it’s a signal that keeps popping up on different runs, perhaps the SSW??

I don’t think dew points would be the discussion then!!

That’s a 14 day reversal. And 6 days of substantial reversal. I don’t believe NWP will read the impacts of this well. Expect a lot of model volatility in the days ahead.

Well unless the models has significantly improved since the last major SSW then you are correct.  Every time in the past when there's been a SSW event it's thrown the NWP models into a tail spin.  It's normally taken a few days post event for things to be resolved (if my memory serves me correctly).  Lots of factors in play:

1. Speed of the down welling

2. Location of blocks and cold in the mid lats

3. Most have happened when we've been locked into relatively typical weather.  This one happens at a time when the trop vortex is anything but normal

So interesting times but I wouldn't think any model has a handle on this currently (again only going by past experience).

I agree in terms of the microdetails it's probably in the top 15% as you say. The evolution is not untoward from a logical perspectice as it has been expected for some time now, and it is synoptically viablw. The depth of cold / snow on the 18z op is probably somewhat on the better side of possible solutions. This depends on how far east the diving low is. A further few days needed to gain some confidence on these details.

This has been a recurring pattern top, northerly shots.

Yeah its definately viable, its just another take on what the ECM/GFS para did, by placing everything just far enough east that we could tap into the full potential.

If it goes to the west of the UK, it will do two things:

1: put us at risk of injecting warmer air from the south, or at least not cold enough air for snow.

2: make it more likely that should the NAO shift west based we end up very rapidly in a Atlantic wave train which will be very hard to shift out of with such a sluggish upper pattern developing.

It won't be game over but every bit further east we can get the mean low, the better for both coldness, snow possibilities and length. 

Of course every chance it ends up riding to the NE as well and never cutting down, which probably enhances the risk of the HP settling on top of us.

At least someone is checking the NAVGEM runs still.

Russian based vortex. That's likely to send us into "deep cold" from time to time. 

He! he!, looks good doesn't it

i have seen enough tonight on the models that i can go to bed dreaming of a white Christmas January

The other thing that is interesting to note on the 18z GFS ensembles is just how many of them are bringing down decent upper cold to our NE/N.

It means that we have something to tap into if we get the synoptics to do so, which has been a real struggle and probably why this easterly coming up is at best very marginal. Should the pattern repeat we'd be much more likely to get a stronger easterly.

The key is to hold the cold pattern for as long as possible. The longer it holds, the colder air will get all around N.Europe as will continue to help bring those SSTs down.

at least Europe will cool down,that's a positive going into Jan.

If only the runs went on a further 48hrs! 

With -25 uppers over the North Sea, it would actually make that body of water very useful for a change. I’d imagine billowing low based CB’s with a constant lake effect blizzard like what you get over the Great Lakes in a good year. 

To sum it up, if that Russian vortex does get reversed over this way, it would get serious pretty quickly for us and Europe in terms of deadly cold.

The main models seem to be dropping the idea of atlantic systems moving up from the south around the day 8-9 period.

A good thing I think, because although they threw up some epic battleground scenarios, most of them let heights back into Iberia - which would have been a hindrance for long lasting cold. 

Slight concern that another low dropping down from the north might produce similar to Storm Bella. The main interest on tonight's lies to the north east with the vortex on the move.

Just to add. The 2018 event was a very quick response coming about 2 weeks after the event. It can be 1-2 months. Having said that it looks like this one will be reasonably rapid.

This sort of chart is what was shown a few days ago that i thought was too early. Classic case of picking up a signal from the EAMT event and reacting too quickly only to drop it and bring it back at the correct time frame

I'd take marginal easterly next week if the end of the gfs run from tonight and it's early run from this morning at the end verify.

That would be a WTF moment if it happened, the North Sea would become a snow machine,with that depth of cold crossing over it.

Yes. Backs up what you me and met4cast were saying about right synoptics just a few days too early. This now fits the next round of aam surge from the eamt but this time at thw RIGHT time. So happy to see this at least confirmed on this run. Lets see if other runs follow

Yes the pre-conditioning of eastern and central europe before the reverse zonality kicks in is a crazy thought. We know what it brought in 2018 and this air at this time of year with these ssts after 2 weeks of our own little cold pool (as its not going to warm up here before) is a recipe for some crazy output

Lovely upgrade on the Icon especially for the snow starved South and East with much colder upper air temps for all! This could partly be down to a more E/NEly sourced flow developing and more of a southern Icelandic high with 2 lows disrupting further west to the south of Greenland. It gets better as the week unfolds cutting off the Meditteranean sourced air! The only draw back is that the high then edges in especially to the North and West as in Met office text which looks dry at this point

 

12z yesterday vs 0z just out lets hope the big hitters follow suit shortly atleast until the NEly sets up!

Lovely upgrade to uppers and wintry shower potential even for East Anglia and the SE already as early as 90hours away on GFS 0z! Minus 8c uppers just across the North Sea already, ppssibly helping us tap into a slightly colder flow  just like the Icon!. Trends...

Support for the optimal northerly from the UKMO Op. This would deliver quite the northerly.

With better wintry precip potential (less southerly sourced air flow prior to this timeframe) lessening the mixing out of the cold over us?
