Isn't that the cfs? -

Anybody got any predictions for the 12z's? More of the same? Upgrades? Or worse than what they are already showing? -

You would think today's 6z 144h chart for next Tuesday would be more accurate than yesterday's 168h chart for the same time. Lets hope so because the 144h chart shows the trough to the west showing a significant negative tilt when compared to yesterday's 168h chart which showed it positively tilted. To anyone who isn't sure what negative tilt refers to then just think of the trough doing a limbo dance -

Who tweeted that? If true, then yep, good question as to why the models are missing it. -

Much frustration on here this morning and is it any wonder? Most winters since 2010 have been a bore fest so the gnawing of teeth is very understandable. As Anthony has already mentioned, it's going to be interesting to see if the meto extended gets revised soon. -

Ext ecm debilt ensembles not as encouraging as yesterday's. Uptick in the mean temps and rainfall towards the end. Looks to me like the ecm ens are advertising a sinking Sceuro high. Not ideal for coldies heading into December. For this reason, I am hoping against hope that the gfs ens have a better grip on things. -

Yep, I'm liking the 'ridgy' theme of today's output. Lets hope this continues on tomorrow's modelling. Who knows? The output tomorrow may be even more ridgy . -

Runs are looking a little more ridgy in the north atlantic on today's runs compared to yesterday. Compare yesterday's 06z run for next Tuesday to today's. -

Early run up to Winter 2020/2021 discussion
blizzard81 replied to Mapantz's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
It is way too early to make any firm predictions about December at this stage, no matter how knowledgeable or experienced you may be. We are still two weeks away from the beginning of December. The met office are still second to none imo. Nowhere near perfect by any means but still the most accurate. They have been gunning for a fairly cold first half of December for a while now. I take great comfort from that. -

Suddenly though by 216h the pv to the north west takes on a very familiar daunting look. -

GFS just about still holding its ground. I agree with Crewe just now.... A slight step in the wrong direction. I remain hopeful though. -

I wish lol. On the other hand...... Never say never -

Meanwhile the 18z seems even more bullish about the amplification in our neck of the woods. I'm hoping for a repeat of the very rare victory GFS had over ECM during Xmas 2005 that I mentioned earlier. -

You must have read my mind as I was posting that lol We certainly know that it never seems to work both ways huh? The law of sod in all it's horrid glory! -

Lets hope the latest run is as inaccurate as the previous few weeks and it's constant touting of raised heights to our north west for the second half of November. Absolutely no sign of raised heights to our north west. I think the ec46 is struggling..... And not for the first time. -

If my memory serves me correctly, the GFS nailed the Christmas easterly of 2005 whilst ECM was having none of it until it backtracked at short notice. This was an uncannily similar evolution to what the GFS is gunning for now. -

Some trends today on some operational runs to build pressure over scandi. It would be great to see these tentative trends build into something more certain. A scandi high as we approach the end of November would be my ideal synoptic going forward into winter proper. -

Yep, day 7 is critical. Ecm day 7 highlights what you are referring to. What is that energy to the west going to do? Fast forward to day 10 and we do start to see some propensity for energy to head south east. Lets see what the 12z runs bring. Fascinating as ever. -
Is this good or bad for UK cold prospects?

Cheers for posting that. It is an improvement on October's update. -

Cheers but do you have the mean Z500 anomaly chart for the 1st November? -

That chart is dated 1st October. Out of date now I suspect. There must have been an update on the 1st November?
