  1. Unfortunately no agreement, as for upgrades or downgrades hard to say as we don't even know which is the correct view of things, at the moment I'd bin the GFS 12hrs run , at worst some ECM/UKMO hybrid  might be a sensible way of looking at things but still a few more runs needed. This is turning into the Da Vinci Code!

    Nick the Da Vinci code doesn't come close to unravelling the GFS/ECM/UKM/CMA saga Posted Image

  2. Gtltw, i am a supporter of the gefs in general but only when they are consistent with the pattern they are showing. currently, i dont think thats the case.And cv, i absolutely dont see zonality as the favourite for mid dec. i would say its 50/50 between a mlb and a scandi ridge. It could end up a sceuro block.

    Because of pressure rises on Scandi 500 charts BA?

     

    Me with a pv raging and nothing showing ill go with zonal for Dec but its tough to call.

  3. Yes but that is an average once again - when there is a broad spread, the mean tends to default to average. But if one of the colder ensemble runs were to be closer to the correct value, then the ensembles could change at a later date. Equally the same applies to a milder ensemble run. Always value the mean for what it is - an average.

    I Don't really view ensembles that well tbh...I prefer ops

  4. With regards to the ECM ensemble, I think it's worth bearing in mind that the shifting of the cold air at 192 will be down to many of the members removing it early, whilst many may continue the cold much later, as is always the case with ensembles. By the way Summer Sun I hope you realise I am not criticising your analysis, I am just drawing attention to the fact that it is only a mean of the ensembles and so must not be taken at face value Posted Image

    But have you studied the following

     

    10-15 height anomaly - Heights flattened and sunk suggesting zonal

    Jet more Zonal west to east

    PV Strong

    Heights over Europe building

     

    I certainly don't want this but it is what is shown.

  5. Tbh Crewe, I reckon more. Will see the extended later but is suspect the London extended t maxes will revert more to their clustered continental look later.And cv, whilst the 00z extended ens were less then exciting for coldies, this did go against recent trends so I wouldn't want to make a mid dec call as yet.

    Accepted BA but come on 95% of signals do not show M/HLB and if that happens mid Dec is going to be zonal to cool...People need to know Mid range for most of UK isn't going to be 2010...I love deep cold snow....However it isn't going to happen in Mid range for much of UK as many want.

  6. Ian, I know that mogreps runs at 18km for 48 hours ahead but do you know what the resolution of mogreps-15 is?I did say that 00z naefs was zonal longer term. Doubt the 12z would be much different, looking at the 12z gefs!

    I totally agree ba...everything points to a disappointing mid December whatever chart you look at....unfortunately

  7. Most of your posts are one liners with no model input .

     

    Do you think the high pressure will flatten ala GFS (one or two day cold spell)or ridge further north ecm(three or four day cold spell)?

    95% flatten....Oh im not ABNS....But it will flatten given the strength of the PVPosted Image ...not really what I want to see. But flatten after a 4 cold day snap...hardly memorable.

  8. I love reading the writing of the NOAA as the fact that everything is in capital letters makes it seem so much more urgent and official for some reason. Excellent news. We are within a timeframe now where many of the changes upstream are already beginning to happen, so it is reassuring to have that sort of guidance being issued. 

    Lets hope Tamara doesn't view NOAA's capital letters....Only joking TPosted Image

  9. I know its GFS and its FI but the strength of the vortex, causing a very strong jet streak and the anomaly forecasts (and they are just that) make me fear for anything sustained after next weekend cold snap. Mid December at moment looks un interesting to me if your looking for a lovely snowy seasonal output that is prolonged. (and I am!)

  10. Not really seeing the optimism for a longer protracted spell of cold to be honest as much as I would like it. ECM shows a 4 day cold snap but at 216, 240 you can see a Vortex re forming flatter surpressed and high pressure west/over UK after day 4 of the cold snap.

     

    High pressure to west of us or over us and ties in with anomaly charts.

     

    After the cold northerly we sort of await the next chapter:-)

  11. I do feel some people in the Strat thread look down on this thread. We are only seeing the models...The 10-14 day outlook shows mlb and possible height rises....

     

    These are against certain Strat posters +NAO low heights for early to mid December....

     

    I do think we get to down on ourselves from the Strat thread when they say +NAO, AO, No strat warming etc............

     

    Height mlb are expected early December and could lead to longer cold spells
