    A chance to see what's changed with ECM over the past 24 hours.

    Broader cold trough by the UK & low by the Azores a bit further west / slower.

    Latter shift could be significant if it's part of a trend going forward.

    12z is much closer to GFS 12z than UKM 12z... let's see if that means a similar outcome down the line. It's not quite as far west & seems slightly broader, which might prove a critical difference - at least as far as the model's concerned.

    Is it best to keep the low as far west as possible? 

    I still don't understand how it's rapidly gaining in strength that quickly

    The 850s aren't representative of what happens at the surface as quick silver pointed out.

    Slack winds, very low sun / short daylength, low heights, that would make surface temperatures cold or very cold, not much above freezing during the day and well below by night.

    For most of England yes that is true, however for costal areas, parts of Wales and the south west they do recover temperatures back to around average.

    I guess we can't complain tbh

    The, as stated by some, "impossible" low is funnily enough back with a vegence - and further north on Icon 12z (the globe's most powerful short range model). Not too encouraging.

    Disappointing start, noteworthy cold is gone even before the weekend.

    Not to say that low will deepen because it's near impossible but gets strong enough it will wreak the entire thing!

  4. Don't really know what to say about the models this morning.

    Cold does seem to be better in the short term, yet these lows that almost come out of nowhere seems to be a big spanner in the way of things.

    While understandably in the medium to long term, breakdowns are here and there but remain in the minority.

    The majority of the UK is set to receive these even colder conditions sometime mid next week, but for the Southwest and parts of Wales it's not looking likely at this time.

    No point even discussing snowfall till it reaches a nowcast/short range.

    What a turnaround from the ECMWF compare to last night I will say this though I don’t know how seriously to take DECMWF. It’s flip flopping around like a small fish in a big pond. At least the ECM is back on track until the 12 hours run.

    Have we forgotten how consistent the ECM was till yesterday? 

    If my memory serves me correctly,GFS was flip flopping all the place while the ECM stayed the course until yesterday that is.

    In effect your post suggests despite little support there is now only one outcome (mild). Is there any point looking at themodels now, given the 'momentum' says the cold spell is doomed? 🙄

    That's not what he's trying to say, momentum is going away from the prolonged cold that was shown earlier, instead it may be chilly being slightly below normal temps for the time of year.

    The "Cold Spell" isn't doomed but it's being watered down.

    Doesn't mean to say later on we may have our chance at getting something more noticeable.
