This post paints a rather different picture to what they are actually suggesting. Any posters feeling instantly glum - go read what both are saying on twitter. Marco's post is particularly interesting in terms of what he doesnt say...and Matt is musing over impacts of the vortex displacement while making it very clear that there is still a disconnect between strat and trop. He is certainly not touting a westerly burst of any significance.

Remember that ECM is processing significantly more strat data than gfs. As the strat breakup occurs then ECM has to be the model of choice. All those with less strat resolution are more likely to be subject to swings and inaccuracy.

 

 

Yes I read the post and yes I did feel instantly glum haha  ..

Certainly EC and attendant mean look good to me this morning !!

Happy New Year, everyone...

Och well, the GFS 00Z looks like a bit of a dog's breakfast, to me, so I'll stick with the NH Profiles:

npsh500mean-240.png    npsh500mean-384.png

There appears that there's a signal for a nice HP setting-up close to the pole... Zonal wind reversal?

Warning: FANTASY ISLAND!

MetO own recent blog agrees with you Catacol, thankfully.

HNY all!

ECM a pretty wintry run in FI.

Yes the ens models in general are suppressing the far off extended period flatter flow into a more wnw/sse. Just one set of runs but best it goes that way than the other .......

swings and roundabouts on the nwp ......

More snow here this morning (OK only 3 flakes so far) than for the whole of last week... not sure this deserves a mention in the regionals yet?

Looking at the models this morning, the ICON continues to tease something as it has all Christmas IMBY and so far failed spectacularly. 

Happy with the UKMO and ecm evolution. 

Ask me again about the GFS and likewise the para this afternoon. It's new year and everyone deserves a second chance! 

Nothing is over (except 2020), model wise, far from it, this roller coaster is just getting started.

Well I'm baffled...

I posted the EC /UKMO uppers yet I've just read the BBC outlook text and the line turning windier and less cold early next week.

Can someone enlighten me as to why?

Ps this is the local forecast....with the uppers here -7/-8 all week...

They forecast 4c for me yesterday...reality...0c

Some conflicting issues this morning Matt Hugo on Twitter stating drop in 850 hpa next week

while BBC saying slight pick up in temperatures with rain showers more likely.

Matt Hugo stating marginal but snow more likely away from coastal regions very interesting.

We will of course find out soon.

It’s simple - the BBC forecasts never seem to use the latest data. Seen it so many times in the past since they stopped using the Met Office. As a licence fee payer, it wrangles me!

Good to see ECM on the money this morning. Hoping for a better GFS 6z.

There are also a few premature posts declaring the end is in sight for the cold spell. It’s all in FI so too early to call it.

HNY gang. Early next week (according to ECM) now colder but mainly dry. By Thursdaythere’s more in the way of snow showers and by the weekend it’s really starting to pile up ??

The more organised areas of rain were associated with the higher Dp’s.  Those are fast disappearing and as they go, so the lower uppers replace them. If we do indeed get a brisk onshore flow for a few days with low uppers and Dp’s then we can expect to see some disturbances in the flow ......

Interesting runs suggesting colder uppers next week conducive to Snow. 

Always hope the work & effort of this site from members can see more than the BBC for example and get the weather right above their forecasts. 

Activity from the North Sea currently giving rain on coast & sleet & snow in land. 

Noticing that showers are merging as they come south.

An area of precipitation through the Midlands and heading for SW Britain is gaining momentum as it heads further south. 

I think this is a sign that despite the weather ie; BBC saying for my region (Cloudy, cold, dry) actually were in nowcast with things at times. 

Just had a light snow shower as I'm typing. 

First Snow for almost a year here in Hatfield.

Anyway back to square one on the icon!heights going into greenland at 120 hours!!what a joke of a model recently!!!

It has been erratic of late.

A big step to ECM on the 06z. Let's see what the GFS brothers have to say now.
