it’s the opposite, hence why the models are showing a much more typical UK winter setup

I remember this well, chino called it well, quick downwell with a rapid tropospheric response, you would think 7 years on the models have a better handle on these now after the ongoing improving and upgrading of the models most years, 

Will be interesting to hear from him then.

So? I didn't say right now, later on in the evening? We all have lives outside this forum, doesn't mean one should be belittled for engaging in it.

It is when the output shows a colder outlook, it isn't when it doesn't.  It's like feature A will help if given feature B and feature C, but not if given B & not given C, it might help if not given B and not given C, but if given B and not given C then A definitely won't help, but all these are redundant if not given features D,E & F & so on ad infinitum.  

NWP is (literally infinitely) complicated.  That's why no opinions are disprovable and that's what makes it fun.

Perhaps model fatigue setting in lucky to return to average on ECM 00z. Extends cold conditions through the weekend.

Good morning, all!

Not much sign of an impending freeze-up on today's GFS 00Z... But, I do find the northward extent of 15-21C Uppers quite interesting -- for so early in the year:

The GEFS temp ensembles show a sustained (but unconnected to the above observation) temperature rise, all the way out to Day 16:

And the NH Profiles still move toward an HP centred near the Pole... though the mean SLP (1028hPa) is somewhat lower than the 1032 suggested by some earlier runs:❓

So... Plenty of musings to go under he bridge yet, methinks!

At this rate all the new posters will have vanished. While the old heads have their fun.

It seems like everything is on the table regarding the weather. I do think this mild spell will be less potent, but with these SSWs, it takes a while for it to pay off.

To me this is more akin to early 2009..

Didnt last SSW end up with us going mild and not cold,this looks similar again.UK winters whats the point...they always find a way for mild to come out the winner.

This is from a weather account I’ve followed for years and find it very reliable, they say this:

“Also worth bearing in mind that uk cold spells are often preceded by a spell of high pressure (HP) over the UK

The WAA injection emanates from the azores area and then ends up in northern latitudes after passing over the UK/Atlantic

Therefore a spell of hp can't be ruled out”
 

Something to think about

Hope this doesn`t have much legs as I can`t remember stonking Iberian HP systems helping us in winter if you want cold down South.

ECM holding high pressure after 144 hrs over us keeping the cold theme for a longer

period.Interesting front moving down this Thursday could bring some snow so plenty 

to look forward to.All of us waiting with bated breath for an idea what if any the SSW

will have on the extended charts.My thinking some very exciting times ahead for cold lovers.

just started reading through this in relation to the SSW and what was going on pre 2018 BFTE... interesting read and “somewhat” similar to current situation

anyone struggling with model fatigue this could be a welcome break from the current ones ??
there is also archived threads from when the beast arrived which I’ve not got onto yet but could also be worth a deek ??
 

again in weather terms we are predicting lottery numbers so all the usual applies in terms of not being gospel etc

could be epic though ???❄️?❄️??

I’ve just been looking at past colder spells 2018 with high pressure moving up from south / south west then pushed north east in Scandinavia charts below 2018.

Steady on.

Fair enough, we're not getting an quick response, but it normally takes 2 to 3 weeks for a SSW to impact us, which is currently outside the range of the model output at the moment.

Personally, I have written the 21st January down as a marker date. If we are not in or close to being in a proper cold spell by then, then I will start to worry.

In the meantime, just start to watch whether bitter cold air start pooling to our North and North East.

It would seem that back in 2018 post SSW the gfs picked up on the BFTE 12 days before (modelled it 13th and hit us around the 25th) it hit our little island... might mean nothing but worth keeping an eye on what the gfs is saying in the coming days ??☃️?❄️
