One thing that I noticed on this morning's GEFS is that there is less scatter than usual among the members for the whole forecast period covered (and a great deal less than on some GEFS predictions).

You dont get many runs looking like that in November - let alone on the 3rd day of it.

It looks interesting for sure and if it were to become a gradual transition into winter it would be very interesting. At this stage it raises half an eyebrow out of curiosity. The persistence of blocking across various areas to the north is beginning to get my attention but it could as we all know disappear without anything notable coming to fruition.

Both GFS OP and Control has us in a northerly on 14th Nov - but this has to be an outliar!? Many places not getting above freezing all day!? Typical as i shall be heading off to Budapest for birthday - where at the mom it looks balmy with more chance of getting a white birthday here ha!?


All JFF as it's one model and one run but something to keep an eye on?

A cold outliar as expected looking at the ensembles - but many others are below norm anyway:

Some impressive blocking on the 12z any blobs of warming seem to quickly inflate the high pressure at the moment. 2010 looks a possibility

ECM looks a shocker with low pressures further south than normal and a lot of rain

An unrelenting procession of depressions for some time to come, with a notably deeper one around the 11th(ECM) or 12th(GFS). After that these two models diverge, GFS continuing the unsettled theme, but ECM developing a large HP cell mid-Atlantic linking with a less well defined HP over Scandi. The latter is supported by the BBC look ahead which suggested its earlier (by a few days) development.


Varous posters have been excited about blocking but I don't buy it. Certainly HP to the north persists, but it seems to me 'faute de mieux'. it's just that all the depressions are directed elsewhere, and there's no well-defined cell until 13th (ECM, mid-Atlantic) or beyond the Urals (GFS).


Ensembles showing fair agreement with each other, generally cold and wet at first, slowly relenting in about 10 days' time, the far NW getting off more lightly than it normally does at the start of the period.

The weather is a complex beast - usually we get a zonal reinforcing mechanism which knocks our hopes of a decent winter into a cocked hat, but there must be occasions when the reinforcing is the other way, otherwise how could we ever get our infrequent classic winters?

Not sure what if any impacts there will be in the Northern hemisphere, but it's causing some real extremes of cool and heat here in Perth this Spring.

Well, I think any chance of colder weather is going to affect first in Scotland and N. Ireland later this Week, and again by Monday to Tuesday after this coming Week's end.


Rain and Low Pressure, looks set to continue for the next two weeks.


GFS, UKMO and ICON models look at 12z today looks like this.


Less chilly in Central and South UK.


So maybe as we get to about November the 20th, there could be a chance of a Scandinavian high that could maybe not sure though as I can see on GFS operational 12z run today.


Hmm.


Regular reviews of the forecast is important.


But it is we should continue to look to the West and Northwest, for our weather for the next 2 weeks..


Climate is warming up, Scotland and N Ireland and North England still often gets some Winter frost, ice and snow, November to March, but the SE and South UK including S Central England and Wales, together with the West and North through the year, they sometimes get more rain than London and S SE England, where some longer dry fine spells without much heavy rain is seen every year.

The North Atlantic Sea often gets some much Colder Wintry conditions from November to March Months, and Mild SW and South winds tend to be more frequent over the East and SE of North Atlantic Sea, as the Azores High tends to stay in charge. 

With this warmth and heat, the Central and South UK has become mostly free of snow and frost.

Could end up even worse than December 2002 – the most revolting month of my lifetime. Then we had a three day frosty spell just after mid-month that brought nearly all of the month’s pitiful sunshine total. Other than that there were only two dry days and five days that recorded any sunshine. This month is heading in exactly the same direction but without any sign of even a brief high pressure interlude.


I have seriously never seen such dire model output in all the years I’ve been viewing it

ECM looks like a classic pre cold spell set-up where it will be milder before the cold penetrates to Europe. High will become difficult to shift with the early snow and cold over Scandinavia. Fun this early in the silly season

There appears to be some potential interesting weather for the 10 days of mid-November, we have Thursday being affected by Low Pressure, that departs on Friday 8th Nov., then on Saturday we have Shortwave spread across UK- bringing a spell of rain then cool with heavy blustery showers.


By Sunday the 10th and Monday the 11th November, the UK looks like being affected by further Deep Low pressure directed SE from the NW Atlantic with Blocking over Iceland and Greenland and maybe also over Norway and North Sea as well.


It looks like bringing heavy rain then heavy blustery showers and mild air, to the UK.


Then at around that timeframe the Models e.g., ICON and ECMWF have two active PV Low's merging over NE USA and Newfoundland that tell me that if we get blocking in Western North Atlantic and blocking in Greenland and North Atlantic to our NW and North there could be a interesting trend and pattern developing possibly from that time point forwards hmm.


Will the GFS learn from ICON, UKMO and ECMWF- the UKMO looks very windy and wet on Thursday this week as well.


The GFS downgrades the Low Pressure over the UK on Saturday and Sunday November 9th and 10th.


But ICON and ECMWF show that Deep Low over the UK on Sunday to Tuesday Nov. 10-13th.


Que sera whatever will be will be but never for us to see eh.

True. Nice to hear from you however.


Gavin's thoughts talks about cooler than average Mid Atlantic, warm Tropical Atlantic. Might help to account for cyclonic activity dipping south a bit, with reluctant HP belts developing, without great tenacity, over the fifties and higher. GFS seems to give sinking lows a helping hand quite a lot over the past few days.

Here's hoping to another exciting season of model watching for all of us.

LP continues to dominate the weather over the UK for the foreseeable - nothing particularly deep or active, just one centre after another drifting through, and the centres further south than you would expect for this time of year, so some cool NE-lies off the N Sea. GFS has a brief window of a ridge from Atlantic to Scandi 16th/17th but it doesn't last. ECM doesn't go that far, but does develop strong high pressure cells over both these locations without at that stage (14th) linking them up.


BTW, ECM has a particularly nasty storm off New England at that stage, but GFS doesn't buy it.


GEFS ensembles match the above with temps consistently about 3C below normal out to the 16th, then back to average but a wide scatter developing. Rain randomly everywhere, just a hint that the far N will be drier than average though not exempt from all rain - backed up by http://www.wxmaps.org/pix/prec4

Whether it’s unusual or not I’m not sure but some of the output going towards December would tempt Gary Sarre back from retirement.
