  1. A bit off topic,but just a heads up for anyone using the meteociel site to view the models this morning as i keep getting a pop-up telling me that i need to update adobe flash player,but this is in fact a computer attack which was blocked by my anti-virus software. I f anyone else gets the Adobe page DO NOT click on anything on it but either close down your browser or restart your computer.
  2. The CFS is at it again with northern blocking and a negative AO winter.
  3. That's a remarkable statistic considering your location,and it just shows the almost complete lack of Northerly's for last winter. Even in my location which is about 700ft ASL in the NE of England,there were very few days with snow falling and not one day where snowcover lasted all day,which can not have happened many times before.
  4. Just thought i would re-visit this post from the start of the month where the ensemble means were in very good agreement on the expected pattern for today,and it seems they gave quite poor guidance compared to the actual chart. Needless to say the op. runs were pretty clueless as well! Just something to remember when there's blocking over the arctic,especially with the silly season fast approaching...
  5. Never fear,the CFS is here! Dec. Jan. Feb.
  6. I suppose the only thing which really matters is the final figure at the end of the month. I feel like i'm riding the roller-coaster before the track has been built.!
  7. Maybe if it was based on the ECM ensemble mean instead of GFS op runs,things might be a bit smoother,although that would probably rob us of the sub -3 OPI goodness!
  8. Great to see the new strat thread,and never to early for wave 1.
  9. Check out the GEM! http://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/geme_cartes.php
  10. Using BFTV's list of the OPI values,here is a composite anomaly of October's when the OPI was around the -1 mark which is where it currently stands (before the 00z update),and also a composite anomaly for the first week of October this year... this Oct.so far.. ...and now a composite of the winters following October's when the OPI index was around -1...
  11. Hopefully it won't end up like the 2013 graph posted above,otherwise Nick Sussex's helpline will be inundated before winter has even begun!
  12. Maybe the OPI can be used to forecast November? If so,i look forward to it based on the composite from the 3 years listed above. 500mb.. 850 temps..
  13. I see the scale has been adjusted since yesterday to account for the increasingly negative figures.
  14. Speaking of Arctic blocking,anyone have any theories for the very sharp negative plunge in the AO which is imminent?
  15. Ensemble means from GFS,ECM and GEM looking very seasonal as we head towards mid-October with the Atlantic trough running the show,so bouts of wind and rain likely with temperatures around average.
  16. Was wondering what the H500 anomalies for September looked like but on visiting the reanalysis page i get this: "At this time (2014/09/29), the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis is not being updated at PSD as NCEP has halted their distribution. Any of our products or web-tools that use this data will be impacted. Data will be updated when it becomes available. We have no further information as to when that might be." http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/composites/day/
  17. Some pretty spectacular Blocking over Greenland in the mid to later stages of the GFS 06z this morning. Not to be taken seriously at that range of course,but still good viewing.
  18. I and a few others had thought that the PRHW14 model which appeared on the model verification graphs was an early taster of the upgraded GFS,but it seems that it was some sort of experiment by one of the programmers,although it is probably related in some way. http://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/gmb/wd20rt/vsdb/ Hopefully the new "bells and whistles" GFS can improve its verification stats against the all-conquering ECM.
  19. Indeed,a late September sizzler from the ECM this evening from 144 hrs onwards... http://www.wetterzentrale.de/topkarten/fsecmeur.html
  20. Quite a large disagreement between the GFS and the UKMO at just 96 hrs this evening,with the UKMO having much more amplification in the jetstream,although could be just a dodgy run? gfs.. ukmo..
