GFS still wants to builds a ridge but ECM looks confident in flattening the pattern and SWerlys
Maybe it is my imagination, but from what I have seen, ECM has been the worst performing model over the past few weeks for our neck of the woods.
Yes, I know someone will post verification stats showing ECM as the top model, but either they are wrong, or they give a misleading impression, since they are based on the hemispheric patterns rather than the small scale which so impact UK weather on the ground.
