I can’t say I’m that excited, anything South of B’ham isn’t likely to see snow. Wrong set-up, wrong direction, uppers not cold enough.

Probably because they’re a downgrade from the 12z and they’re still too far out to be believable, particularly given the number of false starts we’ve seen this winter. I suspect we’re all a little bit secretly excited to see them mind ??

Ah ok, It doesn't show your location when reading on a mobile device so I was confused - obviously being UK centric! Not irrelevant at all

Struggling with the chart...

TWO is dead for a reason other than the weather though. It’s a pretty miserable outlook this morning, barely a cold NW’ly now if we’re lucky. We knew GFS would probably roll back, but it’s still annoying even when it does what you expect it too! -

No surprises, lets face it apart from the recent couple of weeks GFS does not exactly rank high in the performance stakes compared to its peers when it comes to 10day verification. Why is there so much of a following for that particular model in this forum? -

GFS having a bit of fun with FI this morning, enjoy watching the 204hr+ eye candy, I can’t see it being there tomorrow! ECM looking the sensible solution at the moment, UKMO is not ‘horrendous’ in fact at times like this my money is normally on UKMO to be the form horse. -

I’ve been spending the last 2 hours trying to figure out your post and missed the 18z... pub run looks hugely (as expected) over amplified. I’m with Nick Sussex, we’re not seeing what we need right now. -

I suspect any forecaster worth their salt uses the term ‘foreseeable’ as being pretty much that, about 5/6 days. The Met O have discussed a similar mobile pattern out to that point (into and over the weekend) in their own forecasts today. On NW ‘foreseeable’ tends to mean, well as far as the model run goes and maybe a bit more for extra measure -

Well next week continues to become a more disappointing outlook. Aside from ridiculous snow charts from GFS (which are bin fodder at best) the temps are looking like hitting double figures and more of our usual dross will be the order of the day. -

You’ll probably carry on not seeing it if you’re just poking around in FI -

I’m not sure about that - looks like cherry picking an outlier to me. The other models are all showing fairly horrendous synoptics now, not looking good at all for even the slightest hint of a flake or two. -

Temps are forecast to be close to double figures early next week. Accumulation of anything but rain is not likely happen. -

We don’t have any evidence yet, just some model output for period of time that’s still beyond any reliable timescale. -

Didn’t these muppets predict an ice-age last year? -

Nice and wintery - i’d bank that to be honest. -

One model run is never representative of what will happen they’re just ‘ideas’ as to what could happen. You should see a combination of runs over a period of days and look at patterns, taking averages of combinations and look for trends. It’s mentioned time and again but very few take notice of the advice and still get hung up on one GFS run, and the pub run at that. ?? -

ECM looking great for something more seasonal, game on -

Beanz replied to BlueHedgehog074's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
I look at this slightly differently, in that we never expect a cold, snowy dominated winter because it’s certainly not our default. Trying to find a reason for not having a non-typical winter is next to impossible to do, or perhaps pretty simple depending how you look at it. The GEM output actually looks ok, nice and settled for most of the UK, a bit mild perhaps but a darn sight better than cold rain. -

Well at least I don’t have to hibernate the weekend car, there’s always a positive side to a warmer winter. ?? -
GFS is massively out on its own with the slightly less mild solution over the weekend in to next week, whilst the more reliable models all agree on a more mild set-up.. I can’t think of a time when GFS has come up trumps in this kind of scenario. I wouldn’t be backing it
