Model Output Discussion - Christmas week and beyond
Drifter replied to nick sussex's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Run the charts through day by day and focus on Italy. They don’t seem to have any ‘weather’ for the next two weeks. Literally nothing happens in that part of the world - must be extremely boring! -

Well you may remember I was quite upbeat yesterday - that has been blown away by this morning’s runs. No promise whatsoever and their must be 4 or 5 named storms in the next fortnight! -

Cold high over the pole, vortex split all over the shop, jet stream looking more amplified etc. Id expect the high to ridge over us towards Iceland on the next frame Trust me, my Spidey senses are tingling for this. -

As per my post above, I actually see promise in that. -

I’d love to know if there is an extended ECM - would like to know if a Scandi High develops by day 15. Things seem to be ‘happening’ on the day 9 and 10 charts. -

Nice. It seems most people have given up, it’ll be hilarious if a big freeze now appears. -

Nice day 7 mean. -

Yes, the control run is almost reminiscent of some of the colder runs from a couple of days ago. -

Well here’s the Scandi blocking emerging. -

Cold zonality doesn’t exist anymore (except in medium range synoptic charts). In reality, nearer the time the uppers gradually get moderated, the winds change from NW’lys so SW’lys etc. -

Agree totally. It’s why I don’t see the obsession with what it shows every Thursday. Has a prediction ever come to fruition at 21 days, let alone 42 (except during raging zonality)? You will find there’s always *something* to explain it away too such as a rogue winter storm, an AAM uptick, an unexpected mountain torque event etc. The only longer range stuff I have faith in is stratosphere related - this does seem to be quite predictable at longer range. -

Wait - haven’t you already posted this remark already tonight? -

Drifter replied to nick sussex's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
I didn’t say it would back west to impact us immediately. The trough is disrupting and filling over Scandinavia which would allow the Russian high to back west. We’d then have to wait for another round of disruption for to back westwards again. Discontinuous Retrogression, if we need another buzzword/phrase. -

Things definitely happening out east. Day 7 UKMO If you run the sequence, there’s definitely a brick wall appearing - if we went to day 10 I’d expect that area of HP to extend to Scandinavia. -

UKMO offering some longer term interest with heights rising out east. -

As ever, it would seem the GFS has led us up the garden path once again. -

Drifter replied to nick sussex's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
That tweet you are referring to is nearly a week old. Perhaps things have changed since then? -

Quite comical how GFS is subtly reducing Greenland heights every run to almost nothing. -

I believe the control uses the same starting data as the op. The other ens use slight tweaks to starting conditions. Happy to be corrected. -
Model Output Discussion - the cold has arrived
Drifter replied to Community Team's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
This one’s a bust I think - looks like the lows have now stopped moving east and here comes the euro high. -

Appalling ECM at 168. Literally the polar opposite of GFS. Chaos! -

Yes, it’s normally called ‘unsettled’. -

So it’s just a term you’ve made up? How do the US guys that you mentioned apply to this? -

The 96hr ECM chart already looks drastically different to any other run? -
