Really poor levels of consistency even at around 5/6 days out. The fact that the ECM/UKMO are similar is probably more a fluke than anything else because neither is similar to previous runs, which were miles apart from each other previously.

It does feels like a case of riding this uncertainty out and not placing any bets on any kind of solution at the moment.

 

Normally head to the ensembles for clarity , but the EPS and GEFS are flipping from one run to the next

The ecms thirst for exploding amp=heights..in the tightest pockets continues!..New data instal fails to eleviate it's thirst for any chance of amplification..it's acting bizzare atm...the upper atmos ramifications are playing havoc....but I'll suggest this...once the ball has stopped bouncing-and the clasp is clear...whatever the notion...this raw(ecm) will then be released from the nut house and lead!!...on we go...

Too much shortwave drama on the ECM - better than last night’s run but not delivering anything substantive.  Potential remains but we need to see delivery now!

Well I think we are in a better place than after the 12z from yesterday. ECM is better, but seems little oomph to lower heights over Europe / Med..... feels like a stuck record.

I mentioned it yesterday and i know my posts were not popular but i just say how it is!!when a run like that ecm 12z comes out it can be the start of a rut!!!you can have the gfs and its gfs ensembles on board as much as you want but if the other 2 are not agreeing 9 times out of 10 it aint a good thing!!problem is though when we improve on one thing another issue occurs!!so we have improved on the flat output from ecm 12z but now the low filling over us another issue thats cropped up!!whats next

OK, let's return to last year's output! Sorry the charts not showing a 10 day blizzard but this is the UK. So there are no possibilities from the latest charts? Comments of "meh" so discreptive. NOT!

I think meh probably sums it up pretty well lol!

Although progressive, the ecm 12z from yesterday looks to have been correct in the modelling of the Arctic high and this morning the gfs moves in that direction post-d6:

Both ecm and gfs at d6 have a great axis for the tPV to slide from Asia to Scandi, effectively a block. By d7 the Arctic high has changed the orientation and cut the flow and the block loses its reinforcement:

240>946204312_ECH1-240(1).thumb.gif.ee5e430c9df68abfe59d9cd48e89dfd7.gif

Less progressive, so we do get a colder pool before it is cut off, but a bust to the easterly especially on the ecm, which by d10 sends the Arctic high to completely kill the flow from that earlier Asia>Scandi trough!

Assuming the models are merging on this play then we are having to look for an easterly from another setup, that will likely lead to an inevitable delay as we go into a holding pattern in response to the d10 Pacific wave. Sadly despite the SSWE being in early January the clock keeps ticking and you do wonder if the UK is not favoured by this event?

I think EC and UKMO are improved. Much better Arctic High stretching to the south. Just compare 144h EC yesterday evening and this morning. UKMO more or less in line with this. The setting in the Atl. Ocean could do better, tough.

Its the shortwave tracking from Greenland SW wards that scuppers the  ecm right to the end of the run.

Ecm has improved in the reliable timeframe that's the important part, the rest of the run is crud, but most probably a mild outlier afterwards or at the top end of the pack,like nearly every ECM run for weeks, 

GEM is awesome, if it has it correct then ECM will have lost all credibility even if it does match the GEM eventually.

People will disagree but the EC is an improvement on its previous run.

GFS as shown below is good and goes “wrong” in fi.

Ukmo at T144 would be an interesting starting point with opportunities from there.

Thank you ECM, for non educated lurkers like me a much more helpful response to the current output. Sorry to bang on but there are so many members like me that look to the knowledgeable for guidance. That's what makes this forum so worthwhile.

People will disagree but the EC is pretty awful this morning. Glancing blow of sufficiently cold uppers for most. 

GFS not great with its mid lat HP scenario into FI

UKMO is meh.

We're basically hanging on the GEFS and GEM. That isn't a great situation to be in.

I agree with your view.  The EC is once again poor this morning. The low sitting over us seems to take forever to fill and that seems to have been a pattern throughout the winter. The GFS delivers more deep cold but for how long. There seems to be a tendency also for the cold to be pushed towards SE Europe. The ensembles for Athens are hinting at that. The High sinks south to allow this. Easterlies are so difficult to predict right to the wire.

It is the Butterfly Wings effect, changes in forces up and downstream allow for micro scale features to change direction or course. It is one big closed system and this is a very complex setup, especially if we need everything to go right for 2-3 days to get that easterly in place. 

The gefs remain split with 16 still having a better Arctic high and we see that in the gefs with many members remaining cold and snowy. An equal amount support the op, so still time for a flip back but the next few runs will give us the trend:

Not the greatest of overnight runs, and we all know how fickle the ensembles can be. But you'd rather be seeing these than not seeing them, with the op one of the mildest towards the end!
