snowfish

I'd say we in the SE corner stand the best chance of anything snowy that MIGHT come about from a nw shift of the high pressure - it is moving about like a puppet on a string but it needs to happen SOON ie. the next couple of days or so or may well just 'sit' over the UK not doing very much else lol! Keep fingers crossed for some serious shifting!

YES PLEASE....It is ridiculous I wish he would replace the HIGHLY IRRITATING lee-Preston.<_<

Frosty 039 - Indeed - British weather eh?! Still, at least we've got about four to five nice days to enjoy and the warm spell lasting through the weekend which will be very nice for all.....giggles...

It is like a stuck record this pattern...lol! Just when you think you can put your jumpers away, out they come again! as you say this is out in FI - can stay there personally speaking I welcome warm and sunny with 'open arms'!

Looks to be a lot of cloud spoiling things....drizzle/showery activity too so along with milder temps, the rain comes too - oh well, I hope that FI doesn't come about - I'm on annual leave lol!

NO! First post since having moved to the east coast (lol!) I do not want these northerlies what a horror story! bring on some settled azores high please sometime soon.....!!!!!

Hope the dam line stays where it should- not interested in anything cool/cold now - hoping that towards the end of the run summer returns......PLEASE!!!!

ROTFL For me that would produce said result and cold northerly wind which would bring cold rain - Nah, not for me thanks - warm southerly yes please....

I would say changeable - mid month might deliver more warmth and spring sunshine, albeit LATE spring sunshine - but welcome by any means....

Couldn't agree more.....this weather isn't my idea of 'fun'. annoyingly, all this low has brought is the usual wind and rain with mild mushy temps...yuck, in short lol!

Strider True. It was at times exceptional we have had a truly spectacular winter - for a change! Yep, with a northerly it takes a prolonged northerly to reach us - I was joking in part. However, the 528 does encompass my area - I think it will be sleet, any precip that falls that is! lol! Cheers!

Looking like a non-event for us in the SE yet again....Might as well bank on the high building after it which will bring warm spring sunshine and give the flowers a chance - at last! anyone care to counter this? Would be interested to hear....especially as the 528 is south of us I cannot understand why any precip wouldn't be at least sleet....Thanks.

Yes, all models reflecting this northerly to a greater or lesser extent.....Wouldn't rule out some wintry showers for more southern areas given the 528 dam line appears quite a bit further south on the last couple of runs certainly...

True Frosty, but there are strong signals from both ecm AND GFS for the same time frame-March nearly always goes out with a cold blast of some sort of other lol!

Spot on....! I am very much a novice in terms of model watching but I am learning fast thanks to everyone here on NW - Eugene has made some interesting observations along with a great many others - it makes it all the more fun and I am grateful to all that post here....

Not uncommon at the end of March - this is usually when winter's sting in its tail presents itself - this might be it before spring returns as there is now agreement between all the main models, when spring does return after what COULD be a pretty potent northerly/easterly spell, hopefully it will be here to stay...

Agreed and by being milder, that would be minimal.

Absolutely classic! (laughs) totally agree - I detest south westerlies and this is what in recent winters brought that horrific mild wet and windy winters (and equally so) summers. Fortunately, this trend now seems to be at an end with the start (last year) of a much colder winter. I don't think we are 'out of the woods yet' and winter hasn't had it's last 'sting' yet either. Eugene's chart although FI is interesting and possible. I love spring and like TEITS will welcome warmer temps but please not from south westerlies - a southerly would be much nicer lol! One final thing, what I would say is that if we are going to have a northerly (see Eugene's chart) - let's have a mega one like that! - not a weak 'puff and it's gone' number lol!

Congratulations to you all - something of interest in each of your posts! lol! Where DID that northerly go? The same way all the easterlies have! Still, will check models later to see if it has 'come back' as sometimes happens!

Yes - I was thinking that! darn GFS for leading us up the garden path and then saying " Sorry....wrong way.!" let's hope there are upgrades from now on not the opposite which is currently occuring not by just small measures but by huge chunk sizes....

John An extremely enjoyable couple of days here in the southeast with my father walking the dog around lunchtime. nice. warm sunshine out of the breeze and a taste of spring. However, we should not be fooled into thinking (as I am sure you won't be lol) spring is here - it is, but winter looks as though it may pay us one or two more visits before she decides to leave the scene. GFS SLOWLY coming into line with the other models and I have to say some of them to my inexperienced eye, look VERY cold with strong easterly influence - Will be looking to tonights GFS run to see if it has decided that the euros, ecm, ukmo are the way ahead..... ?

Frankly the 06z is laughable.....the runs before it have had the high much further west - I hope this run is the exception to the rule - it's like the GFS is a sulky guest at the "Ta ta to Winter Party"... I'm NOT playing charades you lot can if you want......Cheer up and get into the spirit of things GFS!

ALL CHANGE! All models showing north easterly/easterly back on... Friday onwards as the 528 dam line covers us, things will turn wintry once again!

It's a better run overall from the previous one - depending on whether you want 'spring' or a last 'sting in winter's tail' lol! This thursday will see the fun and games begin if those charts manifest what do you think?

Superb post - my take exactly - and where I am positioned, could be very blizzard like if the charts manifest. I reckon by wednesday of the next week, the colder air will take cold, tightly compressed, an easterly that lasts three days wouldn't be out of the question Frosty, what do you think?
