ICON 6z is more amplified than it's 0z run, especially over the Atlantic.

A quite detailed look at the models from yesterday's 12z runs through to today's 00z runs, particularly focusing on the period between 16th and 20th February where that small dip in the ensemble average appears. This is me looking for upgrades to possible cold for mid to late next week.

12z GFS

Here is the 12z GFS with all runs removed that don't get down to -5 at 850hpa or lower between the 16th and 20th

12zGFScold16to20.thumb.png.21f9480e3b8b5965a125cee98d000628.png

This just leaves 10 of the 32 runs that do so even if it is for just 1 timeframe. Below we have a table showing all 10 of these runs 850hpa values at all timeframes between 16th at 00:00 and 20th at 00:00. The average coldest is on the left to the least cold on the right.

12z GEM

How does the 12z GEM compare with the GFS in the same run effectively. Well the big news for 12z GEM is that none of the runs get to -5 or below at 850hpa between 16th and 20th so GFS wins the 12z round fair and square here

18z GFS

How does 18z GFS compare to the 12z GFS and is it an upgrade or downgrade to the 12z. First we have the 18z GFS with all runs removed that don't get down to -5 at 850hpa or lower between the 16th and 20th

18zGFScold16to20.thumb.png.e2c6eff3603fa355632d85fb76dc40f0.png

This just leaves 5 of the 32 runs that do so even for just 1 timeframe. This is a big downgrade from the GFS between 12z and 18z so looking less likely that we will get any cold weather next week now, big X GFS after this big downgrade. As before we have a table showing these 5 runs with coldest on the left and least cold on the right

18zGFStable.thumb.png.76bdbe962c41f30b32cf7ef4c99f29b2.png

00z GFS

After a big downgrade by the GFS between its 12z and 18z runs lets hope for a reverse of this trend between 18z and 00z for the 16th to 20th period. Here is the ensemble chart with only the runs showing that dip to -5 or below at 850hpa at some point between the 16th and 20th.

00zGFScold16to20.thumb.png.fa8733441c0f4da080fadf98b9387042.png

A slight upgrade from the 18z with 7 runs that achieve the requirement of at least -5 at 850hpa at some point between the 16th and 20th February. Below we have the table showing these runs and their 850hpa temps between these points with the coldest on the left and least cold on the right as always

00zGFStable.thumb.png.1c740360e8aa914f6f3623ecfd612002.png

00z GEM

After the disaster 12z GEM which had none of its members at or below -5 at 850hpa between 16th and 20th February can the 00z rescue itself or can it be one for the bin too in the same time period. Looks like GEM remains very much in the bin with yet again 0 runs at or below in the time period given

An improvement in the early stages of the GFS 06 hrs run.

A sharper upstream trough , now with a shortwave trying to eject se at T138 hrs .

It doesn’t manage to do that and so any ridging to the ne is unable to add some better forcing onto the upstream troughing .

Theres a big difference in any evolution if energy disrupts se so I think some added interest this evening to see whether the models might improve on that front .

It might still do the business on this run, albeit in deep FI, profile to the NE better with shallower heights, probably a close miss, maybe a little light powder for the SE although you never know, PV probably a bit too strong to the NW with too much forcing and not great angle of tilt, but wouldn't rule out a potent blast at 300+ completely.

Well these charts didnt develop in the way i had thought they might, the blocking to our North has weakend and the ridging to our South increased...

Theres nothing cold on this chart IF it verifies, say hello to uncle Barty, because IF that forms, itll go nowhere fast, . Im aware that the strat still might have other ideas, but IMHO the pendulum has swung away for any more deep cold and is heading towards Spring.

Cross-model and inter-model support for the next 8-days or so as we see an Arctic high develop and drive a trough into Eastern Europe:

d0-8>anim_tzk4.gif

The axis of the Arctic high means that any nascent surface high developing at high lat from the Iberian WAA is forced south, ergo no establishment of HLB'ing. After d9 we lose the Arctic high and the forcing from the plume to our south can drive further north without that trough pushing against it:

anim_qxi1.gif

So a holding period for around 10-days and we will see if we can develop that pattern?

Gets there eventually although with similar uppers to recently, really need circa -14c by end Feb.

Would we see more convection than this week though with a stronger sun?

The control does eject the shortwave nick, but upstream issues prevent any quick route to cold.

However a big chunk on the gefs are trying to pull out a quicker route at 168.

I've also attached para, which shows the @mushymanrob option from the anomalies.

I'm feeling a little more optimistic guys..would like to see that GFS evolution grow over the next few days a be brought forward a tad..But we are gonna be prone to Blocking when the Atlantic is dead. Just what on earth happened to it.. So most definitely interest in the final 3rd of this month.

If that’s Uncle Barty then it’s a weird looking one ! The Bartlett high wouldn’t have that set up . And Mushy you should know better then to utter those words in here ! Lol 

I know but its close enough for me, its easier then saying high to our south!, lol. But its a lot closer to a bartlett then a scandinavian high, in essence, mild not cold. But that chart may not verify..

The Return of the Beast from the East ! 

Editors are still putting the finishing touches to it but haven’t decided yet when or if it’s going to be released !

They’re thinking of perhaps putting out a trailer this evening !

Sequel of the year! Lol

06z GFS suggestive that the Meto long ranger is on to something.

That doesn't look like a Barlett high to me and overly mild either, although with a strengthening sun it may feel pleasant during the day with night frosts?
