I don't see how the Atlantic can become blocked from there. The 12z FI follows the 06z - if we get to that sort of position by day 14 then it's a long haul back from there.


 


From December 27th 2020, zonality will be banned from mixing with the UK. We appreciate that this may come as a shock to younger people and old Uncle Barty. This ban will last for a minimum of ten days.

Yes, at least 6-8 weeks, so that's winter written off for another year.....

The gfs making more of the Azores high than the other models,so probably it got the pattern wrong.

Now watch the ECM follow it,as anything that can go wrong regarding getting cold into the U.K.,normally does.

Most of us know an A380 isn't getting us back from there. However, it is only one option on offer at this stage.

In the medium to longer term the outlook seems very volatile with both very mild air and very cold air close to our little islands. The uncertainty is very high but cold and mild are both distinct possibilities as we head into meteorological winter. Up here there is actually reasonable agreement for a brief shot of cold and then....chaos.

Just stepped through the GEFS 12z runs and after 300 hours on balance they are looking absolutely horrendous for cold weather IMHO. I've been away for the last 48 hours so haven't been following the details but clearly something appears to have changed. Whether that will show up clearly in  the TWO 12z GEFS line graphs I don't know.

.


A faster look at the charts suggests, that spells of SW to NE moving Low Pressure waves and Cyclonic pattern, with brief ridging is being forecasted.


Rainfall will be falling in the usual prone locations- hills and mountain areas, parts to the South SW North and SE or NW of these locations, regions of dry weather as well expected.  Next 6-10 days.


Some tropical moisture is frequent in the forecasts as well.


NW Europe looks set to turn more unsettled than of recently.


Cold and snowy in parts of Canada- more in the NW South and SE to East parts, next 6-10 days.


NW Central and NE USA, seeing large swings in temperature, and some high pressure and also Low Pressure systems that bring rain and heavy snow to those areas, cold temperatures at times, as well as some regular SW milder spells as well, causing by mild sectors and areas of high pressure.


They, and us have similar weather next 6-10 days but North and NE USA and NW USA sees colder weather than NW Europe at times Lol. 


Scotland and Northern parts of Europe expected to see some cold NW winds and some sleet or snow showers, from Thursday 28th November onwards.



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.

Only for this winter? I'd say that you can probably write off winter 2020/21 as well - you know how persistent that zonal train can be....

As expected the GEFS 12z line graphs (at least for southern locations) have gone very mild after 3rd December. Even the ensembles are prone to major changes. Therefore I have embedded a static snapshot so we can see how good or bad this looks in a few days time.

Decent agreement for the next week or so then anything goes. Equally as chaotic, if not moreso up here and rather useless for forecasting anything apart from uncertainty in December. The proximity of the cold to the north is highlighted in the contrast between the different ensemble summaries (north and south). A small shift could have a big if possibly brief impact.

I would be reluctant to dismiss cold weather based on current output.

Here is the ECM 12z so far https://www.wetterzentrale.de/maps/ECMOPEU12_144_1.png

that can’t happen GFS has had high pressure over Europe for the last couple of runs. It must be true

ECM 12z similar to GFS at 144 tonight. If anything uppers are a tad higher across central Britain.

Hi all.


There is the ECMWF Model 12z, that turns it quite cold for three days Starting from Friday the 29th November.


This looks very great. Greenland High retrogression to UK and NW Europe on day 3 of cold plunge. Frosty and cold sunny.  Friday and Saturday could be cold with wintry weather over the UK.


Then Mid North Atlantic Low drags WAA far off from the UK NW Europe- over the Mid N Atlantic and quite blocked to it’s east and West and over Greenland again.


Todays 12z ECMWF differs and goes against the UKMO, GFS and ICON.


Time will tell which one will behave itself.

Some will take anything that GFS FI shows as gospel- if it is showing the type of weather they desire.

Indeed. Looking before then at a week out +168hr)on the ECM it would be very chilly in places and potentially wintry in some northern parts, with the colder air moving south (for a time at least) as shown in Brian’s chart above (+144hr).
