    Fits the forecast mould....but uncertainty is creeping in now with so much NWP evidence sticking to a relatively strong trough and ineffective blocking. 

    Hmmmm - but for now - "stay on target!"

    Met Office outlook now mentioning the 'small chance of colder temps with snow 'perhaps to lower levels for a time in north east', so there must be a little support in house for the GFSP it would seem. Good stuff

  2. Not sure i agree with @Quicksilver1989 post above, sure cold spilling down into the eastern states can fire up the jet, but it can easily be part of a negative NAO pattern it just means the jet stream has to be amplified, plus the temperature graphic is based on the 6z GFS, which even then most certainly doesn't show anything zonal and still shows a weak and fragmented jet with intermittent ridging northwards. The key thing as Steve said is the jet to be amplified enough early doors coming off the states to pump our Greenland high up. Still lots of uncertainty!

    Of course the gfsp is the best verfiryjng fi operational product at the moment ....

    A very blocked 6z from the p, wouldnt surprise me if the 12z normal GFS goes backed to a more blocked regime, the overreaction on single OP runs is laughable on here, you'd think we were staring down the barrel of rampant zonality! Nobody is claiming a big freeze just yet, how can people be disappointed at heights trying to build to our NE repeatedly and further attacks on the PV is baffling to me!

    Thats the problem when you get a big block poorly orientated - it can lead to very wet weather for the UK as the fronts grind to a halt against the blocking.

    But i agree 6Z  looks a bit better..

    That was what happened in 2009. Noone is looking for a beasterly set up this early no? We want to see blocking to our north east to drive wave activity and then potentially it is there to back west later in the month. New JMA weekles support heights to the NE like the 6z. Plenty of model volatility should be expected with any building if heights over Scandinavia

    Yes, Its unlikely that there would be enough cold pooling on the continent to bring us a March 2018 scenario at that time but if we can get that ridging into the pole consistently throughout November, you would think at some point in the following month, a brutal spell might well be around the corner.

    Could i have the link for the 46  dayer?  i have lost mine.

    Thank you.

    Yes. It's technically the October SAI. However, an early start to the season can only help things along 

    I'd rather there was little there until October, as the more there before then means there is less scope for larger gains. Snow cover is obviously linked with the pressure patterns, that's what is worth watching as we head through October. Be interesting to see how much blocking there is over the Taymyr peninsular and the barents/kara seas through October as Mr Murr has alluded too.
