  1. Looking into the future is difficult with the models. But it also looks like the here and now is also causing the models difficulties  the low for Sunday is modelled in three different ways on the hi res models  the euro4 going for a washout of a day for most of England. The arpege is going for the low to be more southerly and hardly any precipitation makes it past the south Midlands. And the arome has rain turning to snow for Wales Midlands and central northern England  place your bets

    Was looking at that, keeps the 'colder' upper air temperatures on its northern flank, however it's quite hard to see what's happening when the frames are every 24 hours. Snow for the midlands? 
     

    i Think Nouska posted this link earlier  it doesnt seem to show any snow from the ECM run  although it isnt the easiest to navigate. And indeed the chart could be from last nights ecm

    Which LP? - the Sunday LP looks "interesting" for the Midlands to say the least  - the channel LP is not exactly a default system which the models sometimes can struggle with.

    Yes should have been clearer  the LP at t120hours  of course pinpointing the exact route it will take is like pinning the tail on the donkey

  4. Having a quick Look Through the ensembles  for the period regarding the low  its a little bit of a mixed bag ( at this range it was always likely to be)  Some have the low undercutting the Uk, Some have it bringing Snow to the Midlands and the North ,  And a few bringing heavy rain.   one Perb even has the South east buried under snow.

    Personally, that GLOSEA update is not for me...I'm looking at that thinking there would be frequent interludes of S'ly winds as low pressure stalls to the W and SW rather than running underneath the block which, may at times, be further S than Scandi.

    Possibly  Crew  but all indications  at the moment seems to be going for a front loaded winter   the later half may be quite a lot more milder  maybe influenced more by southerly winds.    im still thinging we are looking at a cold if not very cold December.

    looking at the 00z ens temperatures recover during the final full week of November before cooling down again right at the end of the month

    Im a bit confused bt that   is the last figure the daytime temps   and the first night time?

    BTW  do any of you know about Accounting? I know this is a strange topic to bring up on this Forum but I am currently studying AAT Advance Diploma in Accounting and are familiar with how assets, liabilities, capital, expenditure and income are accounted for: A business is healthy with good prospects if it has lots of assets, has goodwill and is profitable- any Accountant will tell you this. Likewise, as you can divide money up this way, there are parralels as to how heat and momentum can be divided up.

    So then, we have a situation where large amounts of heat are stored in the oceans at higher latitudes, the Northern Hemisphere has been (overall) absorbing more heat than it has lost over several years and there is a large amount of this heat stored into the oceans-particularly just west and north of Britain and this country is likely to be a benefactor of this stored heat in the coming months as it is released into the atmosphere.

    Overall, thanks to the laws of Conservation of Angular Momentum, the Earth-Atmosphere system only leaks very small amounts of momentum to Space (chiefly through out-gassing and marine/atmospheric tidal friction due to the Sun and the Moon- the latter being much more important). However, to follow the Accounting analogy Westerly AAM as transferred between and stored in different Ledgers": In this case these ledgers would be the solid Earth, the oceans, the Troposphere and the Stratosphere/Mesosphere and with regards to the surface Easterlies are expenditure and Westerlies income. When excess Westerly AAM is stored in the Troposphere or in the stratosphere (i.e. Westerly QBO's) and there is a strong transfer of Westerly AAM into the atmosphere at low latitudes increasing this store, the atmospheric ledgers of Westerly Momentum would soon be bursting to the brim: As such these factors increase the prospect for Westerly AAM to be returned to the surface (using Accounting analogy there are assets and money in the bank for a businessman to draw upon for personal use). This only happens if there are Westerlies interacting with the underlying surface with the frictional impact with these causing a loss of Westerly AAM.

    In other words, I hope that you can appreciate why both the heat and momentum budgets are such the they don't point to a hard winter in Britain.

    Yes I have a CTA  however I'm sorry Ian still don't understand  brain must be overfilled with figures :)
