Well the ECM Anomaly Chart for sea level pressure, Mondays run and Thursdays run of this week, for Week beginning 22nd. Core of the High Pressure anomaly extending slightly further south on latest output. The  temperate anomaly is moving to nearer average on latest run, from the slightly colder than average in the east on Mondays output.

On Monday 8th it predicted Surface pressure anomoly

Monday 8th Rainfall Prediction

And Todays Rainfall Anomaly, mercifully for farmers and industrious people who rely on clement weather, shows a better signal for some drying out in the West over average.

Interesting CFS model updated trend for next Wednesday 17th Feb. HP setting in allowing a very cold feed to commence (As Always: Subject To Change)

Following the CFS trend for the 18th Feb, HP is more established with a very cold feed flowing towards the eastern part of the UK (As Always: Subject To Change)

Continuing the CFS trend for the 19th Feb, HP again is established with a very cold feed especially to the UK's E & SE (As Always: Subject To Change)

Will we have to pin all our hopes on the CFS. Never thought I'd be saying that since it is the Computer Fantasy Scenario's model

I have been following the CFS model for a few months in preparation for this winter and I have been very impressed so far. Nothing is guaranteed, so let's see what unfolds

A while ago but if anyone remembers the winter forecasts I was doing the CFS was going for a cold February and March with the most negative CET anomalies for these months. Is this CFS sticking to its guns on this one?

I commented last night that the latest EC46 didn't look quite as good from a cold perspective as Monday's update.  However, the blocking remains.

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?

The mean upper flow for that period is Southwesterly... thats just about as mild as you can get! like it or not.

You have far more knowledge than I do, so I take that on board!

We will just have to see and what will be will be!

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 !

Indeed, and thats beyond what the NOAA charts are comfortable with, itll be interesting to see, over the next few days, whether those charts support a Scandinavian high. But currently they dont.

Yes jff it was the operational run i was commenting on BS.A wide scatter on those ens from day 6 and looking for instance at the  day 6 charts for all 3 at the same time frame it's all down to how the jet splits against the block. 

gfseu-0-138.thumb.png.19e7d49f2a0e11cd68a17204f2fedf05.pngECE1-144.thumb.gif.72d73d336d5cef58b2b5024b8089a132.gif1414296764_UE144-21(2).thumb.gif.902f72737d5a0905e45bae75ec8f253d.gif

On those the uk chart looks the most promising in getting some energy going se.If that trend is supported better in future runs then a quicker return to cold would likely follow.

Interestingly though the other operational suites evolve that way in the end so those colder ens members may be pointing the way.

What I have been trying out (just to aid my understanding) is to take NOAA 500MB Height Chart for a period such as this one for the 17-21 Feb issued yesterday:

image.thumb.png.2bb67f5104a1fa4fa4c0ac88fcaafc36.png

then I look through the 500MB hPA Wind charts on WZ for instance to find one in that period that seems to match it as near as poss such as this one for the 19th Feb:

image.thumb.png.ba747d5d2f4e25f92c6e6b4585fc7b8c.png

Then I look to see what the 500MB Geop Height chart looks like for the same timeframe:

image.thumb.png.9a06a38fa071a8752711ecb729638d3f.png

Gives a good idea of what it could look like at the surface.

All very subjective of course as there are several patterns that could fit the NOAA chart through that period with much different surface conditions!

Now checking the NOAA 8-14 day chart:

image.thumb.png.c4e163d772067cd173c9b9bc40f9fb43.png

A fairly similar 500hPA Wind chart for the 23rd:

image.thumb.png.5ac18b9a87eab6260f7953b5858a8f6d.png

And 500hPa Height chart for the 23rd:

image.thumb.png.c55188667a9020bf262bc609d43a7cb0.png

If (and it's a big IF) those are correct then you could surmise that the GFS is developing the right pattern currently.

I have no idea if this is a valid way to interpret the various charts but will be fun to keep track of it to see how successful it is

Brilliant WW. This is what I was chatting with @johnholmes last month whereas I was suggesting matching the closest permutation to the 500s, but your idea is a much better way of matching it using the jet. Great stuff

Small point of order but this is more of a UK/Euro High than a Bartlett, the pattern is still pretty amplified rather than zonal from the south west.

Thats more or less the method i employ for my blogs.... view the NOAAs first then pattern match to the nearest GFS or ECM run. Ive been doing this for several years now, and given that sometimes you are going to be wrong, it still has a very high success rate. We blogged about this cold spell ten days in advance, because of what the anomalies were suggesting, and its pretty standard now to identify the emerging pattern 7-11 days in advance.

Trust me, if you want to know whats really likely to happen and not get lead up the garden path, this method for this timeframe cannot be beaten IMHO.

ECM ensembles D11-D15 seem to say dry, dry, dry. None of the clusters look particularly warm. Though cluster 3 has enough of a trough underneath the northern ridge to allow an easterly with wintry interest.

Morning folks,havent posted in a while.Hope UK/IE did well out of this cold spell,we have also been paid a visit by Arctic BLAST with uppers of -20 today. EPS for my location next 15 days Keep me under cold side of the High Pressure with mainly N to NW winds.With fresh snowfall Frost and sun will be plenty.Best spell of Weather since January 2017. EC monthly is a dream,settled and cold the spring after March 8th. How it looks here today this morning(-21.5C 50cm+Snow)

Looking at the GFS 6z for midday today, it does look like it's called the start of the East West battle about right. Be interesting if it does play out as models suggest.

Will be an interesting 48 hrs watching the battle commence

I like that WW, a very constructive way of trying to link those charts to the GFS 4x daily. Like you say it is not foolproof but so much better than relying on the synoptic GFS output on its own. Perhaps you might try to compare the ECMWF 2x daily output. Keep doing it, not just in winter but for summer patterns, hot plumes etc, you may be able to pick them out at times. Great to see someone using the 500 anomaly charts, perhaps others might be tempted as you post and they see how you progress.

Thank you for another way of using them-good luck

UKMO 144, a different solution. We get an undercut of sorts, but to far north. Scandi high replaced by the Arctic ridge.
