Big three for next Friday, cold air being drawn down from the north, you'd think there would be snow snow showers into Northern island and Scotland with some snow also in England. This sets up the cold airmass over the entire UK. No Beast from the East but cold.

Snowfall chances begin Thursday, and on Into the weekend, any Atlantic systems trying to push in would give the risk of frontal boundary snowfall on the northern side.

(GFS ppn charts, just to give an idea, not to be taken literally)

Long way off still but I have next weekend in the diary for a snowfall "event" in the heart of the uk.

I would bank that! I do think we’ll see a cold north westerly later next week, with wintry showers for northern and western areas. Then potential ‘battleground’ snow events as low pressure systems cross the U.K. but with uncertainty over their track. The Met Office outlook looks pretty spot on.

He’s stated that the projected weak to moderate La Niña conditions favour a milder second half to winter, which has been the case all along but there are other factors that can override that. Doesn’t mean a milder second half of winter is predicted.

He actually said RECENT model guidance .

We are moving in the wrong direction IMO.

A fairly brief north westerly followed by the euro high pushing the jet north sounds a reasonable shout to me ...

He said the latest model guidance maintains a weak to moderate La Niña and that that teleconnection favours a milder second half to winter. That’s not the same as the models predicting a second half to winter.

Marco Petanga now suggesting model guidance is pointing to a milder second half of winter.

Hope its more accurate then then the METS seasonal forecast for winter has been then.

Were they not going for a mild winter for the whole of DJF with low pressure to the North over the Arctic and Azores high over the South..

Maybe some more substance other that 'its looking good for Scotland' will help things move along better. Could you explain what is good and why & what models are showing the goodness?

Well let's agree to disagree ...

The trend looks clear to me , hopefully the trend is wrong.

Horribe terrible mean at 240 hours and after!!!we are in a westerly flow across the uk and pure boredom!!!!!wake me up when something interesting turns up!!!

Unfortunately mate, that could be an unknown amount of time. We live in one of the most boring climates in the world for all of the more interesting types of weather.

See you in April then

Summer is the weather equivalent of being asked to clean the entire of the great wall of China with a toothbrush. An agonising slow chore.

It's no surprise that there's rarely over a page of Model discussion each day for 3/4 months of the year. Traffic is down 95%. 

We can live in hope though. I certainly wouldn't mind a 4/6 Thunderstorm each afternoon/evening for 6 months.

I think a realistic expectation is more of what we have seen this month . Cool to cold Generally with snow potential - probably in much the same places that have done well in recent weeks. The models neatly match the long range Met Office forecasts which have never talked of deep cold from the east but the chance of battleground events and wintery hazards 

I think that's a sensible way to look at things now.  No big freeze but the chance of some surprise snowfalls cropping up anywhere in the country.  Hopefully we can get some deeper cold and more widespread snow in February, but that is a long way off.

If the models can’t agree on T+96 why on earth would anyone take any notice of long term forecasts. Just as well throw bones in the air or read tea leaves. Mystic Meg would probably do better

The thing with seasonal models is they won't show the week to week variance. 1 week could be brutal cold and the next 3 weeks very mild and the month would show as mild overall ??‍♂️

Maybe it raises some hopes. CFS was by now very conservative with Highs to the nord, but it seems they did a smal turnaround.

Don't loose the faith in cold. Nothing is lost and we have still plenty of time ahead.

Mjo update. We are in phase 4 now frustratingly! 

The GEFS and ECM forecast look quite similar now. I have attached yesterday's for comparison.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't these forecasting the MJO to go into a more favorable phase a few days ago?

Mjo has been useless in the way of help since November really.
