 Back to discussing model outputT96 Ukmo and gfs. Differences at this time frame.

What's the differences because they look fairly similar too me? 

It's going to take a little while for the milder air to fully win out but win out it should do. Whether it leads to mild SW'lies or an attempted ridge northwards as per yesterday's runs who knows although I would place more likelihood on the former.

Speak sweet soft words of encouragement to keep the low over Southern Europe as the high gracefully ascends over us up into Scandinavia and onwards to Greenland

No disrespect to any of these people, but did THEY forecast a SSW or merely report on what the strat experts like Simon Lee were predicting, after all its the experts in that field that produce the data.

I say this because thats where i get my info from, and report it as such in my own blog and have done since November.

Your very right.

Not of us are experts were part time enthusiasts.

I personally didnt predict a ssw in all honesty based on expertise

This isnt my area of expertise.

Tropical signals are.

These i can honestly say were aligned to create waves that were above average in a nina background state which meant chances of a ssw were way above average.

What my knowledge does allow me to believe however is that we arent seeing full effects of this ssw just yet and strongly allows me to believe these should still be felt more strongly the end of jan.

As a caveat i speak for myself.

Certainly for chio i cant say the same

As another caveat ive never claimed to be an expert either in the strat field.

My original forecast if anyone remembers back in december was for a period of westerlies early jan followed by best cold period back back end of january into feb.

I changed this due to what looked like a quicker qtr and no flushing out of the westerlies

Not going to be flat this...

Edit: careful what you wish for, we've spent so long preying for anything other than zonal, when perhaps we should have been worshiping a polar bear...

Jeez enough rutting already its tiresome and its not a - - - - - - - competition so the outlook remains unsure altho attempted rising of pressure looks on the cards from the south, southwest after the current high disipaits. Never really mild imo but feeling less cold. Hopefully lower Heighths dropping very cold uppers to the east giving a better option ie any east/north easterly along the way. Enjoy

The differences are quite small, TBH I was just trying drag people back to discussing models as opposed to having ago at each other as it’s tiresome.

UKMO 144

Just need to accept there will be a westerly spell next week now unfortunately! All eyes on looking for SSW impacts after that towards the last third of Jan.

UKMO and GFS at 144

All seems a bit tame...no strong forcing anywhere. 
 

GFS a little better at first glance but overall both generally a bit Meh!

Hopefully this SSW will inject a bit of drama either way !

Still looking milder in the medium term across nearly all models, still along way to go with the displaced vortex. One thing I personally feel is that the deep cold wont reach us. We may get a few sliders if the HP keeps some depth to it, but all in all the over picture (at the moment) is for the HP to sit over us, probably more southerly for a while and bring in foggy and frosty weather and not practically cold either.

quite, its January that is more nailed on mild - 05 Easterly feb, 09 Easterly feb, 86 easterly feb (nina side of enso neutral), 18 late feb easterly (nina)

And similarly to this January, 2009 was dry and cold or very cold (considerably more so than this month) in the first 11 days of the month, also with very little snow about.

For what it's worth, the jet stream configuration here suggests this run could be more pleasing to the eye for mid-Jan, as the southeast dive to the west of the UK supports trough disruption against the ridge around Iceland.

I say could because this is, after all, GFS we're looking at!

GFS might tease then fail to deliver but at least gfsp a bit more spicy...

The jet profile says that it is going to be tough with the Pacific region driving the upstream flow:

anim_akz3.gif

We have a split flow rejoining around d8 off the esb, then another stream pumping up the jet and building that expected zonal barrage for d8 onwards. The force is strong, sorry block, and it does hold back the onslaught, however it is going to be tough to build sustainable heights in the Atlantic region till the La Nina uptick falls. Maybe then we will see further westerly slowdowns and the ridge/trough design we are expecting? Wedges are fine but really need those yellows/oranges to get a lot further north.

The new improved (ecm guided) parallel gfs has not been performing well at d10 on the 12z of late and is bottom of the class (smaller sample for some reason from the P):

cor_day10_HGT_P500_G2NHX.thumb.png.c3e20abc75117919373de306f603187d.png

The much maligned GFS top of the class! I expect that is partly due to the propensity for ecm and gfsP to blow up heights in these setups?

I got the surprise snowfall 1-2 weeks too early.

The UK high too early, early jan right and i hope late jan right.

This was beginning of december based on a tropical timeline aligned with waves bringing about a ssw which is was 9 days too early with!

But not a bad effort built from tropical and extra tropical understanding

The only thing i changed nearer to time was the zonal first half of January as i predicted no zonal winds would propagate due to the sheer state of the strat

Screenshot_20210106-164910_Samsung Internet.jpg

Thimkimg about it though if its beem pushed back two weeks.

We see the ul high in the next two weeks.

Then zonal then very cold beginning of feb into first two weeks of march
