By the sounds of it your thinking December and February will be unsettled, windy and wet but near average. January will be cold and dry (since cold in the UK is correlated with below average precipitation).

A winter for everyone really with no pattern lasting too long based on these early thoughts

Indeed. It doesn't look like it could be a too bad of a Winter, and would be an improvement from last year with the frequent spells of wet, wild, weather that had occurred. I suppose last Winter was, at least, quite spectacular for how unsettled it was (but wouldn't be keen at all for it to be repeated this year). The forecast seems to have some similarities to Rodger J Smith's forecast with a mixture of cold and mild spells possible, though it is interesting that it's going for January to be the likeliest coldest month. I think Steve Murr was going for the same sort of thing for his Winter prediction.

Quite looking forward to the final forecast!

I'd settle for something like that. Keep it interesting, a handful of snow days and a proper wind event.

Good luck to the team, particularly with the January part!!!!,   will there be a video forecast this year or not?  Also what was the year that they (Stewart and 2 others) all sat around a table, im sure it was Nov 2009 previewing the 09/10 winter, does anybody have a link?

I remember that!  Wasn't it Stewart, John Holmes and Brickfielder?  I believe it was November 2008 previewing 08/09.

 

Those early thoughts don't sound bad and definitely an improvement on last year.  Thanks Ed and Tony

I think most of us would be content with that.

Mixed indeed,some Atlantic activity for storm watchers with some cold and possible snow for cold fans.

I like the idea of the jet running south which could give an east/north easterly setup with widespread snow as a battleground develops.

I was out of my depth then, I think Steve M was also part of it, no doubt Paul will find the video when he gets time.

I remember filming that lol -  I don't even think we mentioned the stratosphere!!

 

 

Best of luck with the forecast -

There is still plenty of time for this forecast to change with a month left to winter. The strat is 'ripe' this winter. I think that it will mature early January, but there are the possibilities that it could 'mature' earlier, but that is highly dependent upon tropospheric (upwelling) wave patterns that are less easy to predict in advance.

I think you are correct Steve, it shows just how much folk have learnt since then.

Cheers. I think that back then you were mentioning and considering the stratosphere - it is that that made me look a bit harder at it - and then some! I remember some very relevant conversations in the now defunct easternwx forums on the subject.

I was a little (only a little mind you) disappointed earlier, I would love to see a decent cold shot before xmas and thought it very possible with a little wave activity involved but will always bow to your superior knowledge, happier now you think its possible, im thinking maybe a last week before xmas 1993 style is perhaps possible, maybe not really potent but a little amplification of the Jet possible.

At this point, I am really happy with the way the first half of November is shaping up, the analog match for November matches up really well with the forecast anomaly charts, with the exception of even better heights in the Arctic.

 

Even with average temperatures, one could expect periods of below average countered by above for the rest of those months. And December is certainly an intriguing month. The November strat conditions will tip the scales either way......

Hi Chiono, Am I right in thinking that the even better hieghts in the arctic you refer to make it more likely that December will be an intriguing month in a wintery sense.

Sounds good! :cold:

 

This Winter should be even more exciting to predict with the OPI :bomb:

Which analogue years would you be looking at, from my limited knowledge I would be looking at 76/77 as a good match?
