GEM T198, who knows that this would do, amazing:

But look at the vortex across the globe too, absolutely mangled beyond repair!

Looks like GFSP at 204

That GFS-p NH chart, take a line right round the globe at the same latitude as the U.K. and pressure isn’t less than 1000mb anywhere, in the middle of winter !

Really good UKMO run and with more of a NE'ly  flow than an easterly, there be less modification from the north sea for inland locations.

My only concern are thicknesses low enough to support strong convection? Remember it's not just about cold air over warm sea mean snow, I remember an easterly in 2013 I think which was -10 in uppers but it bought alot of stratuscumulus image.thumb.png.05a80d1dce7fd298f7af29b6ed1730a3.pngwith shallow convection. 

Either way, hopefully the ECM can upgrade, it does tend to have more conservative uppers but it could be crucial between whether the easterly will be wet or white.

All depends on location as the Easterly in 2013 brought this to West Yorkshire but was a long fetch draw. 

Next weeks is naff but later its looks like we could get lucky.

Edging ever closer to snow becoming a possibility from the easterly, though it's very marginal still and I'd imagine for now still somewhat reserved for inland and higher ground.

Some great runs again, though I note still many solutions out there in terms of how it may evolve, not all are great. 

Beyond that and ear signs of very west based -ve NAO, so west based it probably no longer technically fits a -ve NAO at all. Down the line if we do get that evolution we may well need to watch for an upper high nearby getting sucked into a scandi high. But we'd have a high chance of some SW grot first.

However that really is in deep lalaland

Momentum is building from the north and east and the purple blob wants to sit over ourside of the hemisphere for a change!!

Genuine question, all this talk of a west-based -NAO, can anyone post a chart of when we last had one, a proper one?  

Because I don’t think it is relevant to the current evolution, yes the blocking might be west, but for it to be a bad setup for UK, it would need a substantial low to be even further SW, no?

Is the north sea colder than it should be at this time of year .below is the forecast for mid January and it shows the middle of north sea 6 C . I am sure this is 1-2C colder than our normal years and will have an effect on the est coast  marginal areas .

I tell you what, I'm loving these west based NAO at the moment!

There is a post in the tweet thread where Simon Lee muses about just how far  west based the neg NAO is setting up and how much Atlantic there is to the east ......the 12z gfs op manages to fit a ridge and the sceuro trough in to keep us cold and the sou’wester towards Iceland !  Mind you, the neg nao disappears by T300 !

I suspect the answer will become apparent soon enough, at the moment though some stunning model watching!

.It means less risk of warm sectors being too much, though the south may walk on a tightrope for a time

 

For the south we have yet to get on board this winter so far, as you say tight rope, and I'm still seeing that even with the current changes in the shorter term..

That looks very much like a cold dive into Europe rather than Western Europe as suggested by a lot folks given the models..

Seems we can't discount the further east low drop yet.

This parallel GFS run then has a suspiciously strong push from the west but still finds a 'slider low' outcome against bitterly cold air to the east.

I think that says a lot about the forcing at play for mid-Jan.
