Here is a summary of the latest NWP output for noon on Saturday. Issued
0550, 10 Jan 06. The models show a mobile setup for the weekend with a deep Icelandic low and high pressure to the east. Troughs are likely to cross the UK and all areas will see rain at some stage, heaviest in the west. The rain will be accompanied by strong winds at times and temperatures will be on the mild side of average in the main. Beyond the weekend there are no signs of a change, with the ECM and GFS ensembles bullish about maintaining a mobile flow over the UK. Indeed, the operational GFS decays the block to the east, allowing the westerlies to blast all the way into Russia. ECMWF: http://217.160.75.104/pics/Recm1201.gif The UK lies between a low to the west and a high to the east, with SW'lies for all. The low moves NE'wards at T+144, allowing a trough to cross the UK. Ahead of the trough winds are SW'lies, with westerlies following behind. By T+168 SW'lies once again cover the UK as a new low deepens to the NW. MetO: http://217.160.75.104/pics/Rukm1201.gif MetO shows strong to gale force SW'lies over the UK with a very deep low to the NW. A trough crosses the UK during Sunday and by T+144 lighter SW'lies affect the UK. GFS: http://217.160.75.104/pics/Rtavn1201.png GFS shows southerlies and SSW'lies, this time with a low to the west. The low fills to the north of Scotland at T+144 withw esterlies and SW'lies as a result for the UK. GEM: http://meteocentre.com/models/glb00_120.html A trough lies to the west, with strong SW'lies across the UK. GME/DWD: http://www.wetter.com/home/img/sat/g...090000_120.gif The German run shows very similar setup to GEM, with a trough to the west and SW'lies for the UK. The trough crosses the UK at T+144, bringing light winds for all. JMA: http://217.160.75.104/pics/Rjma1201.gif The Japanese run shows WSW'lies and a trough to the east. Winds become SW'lies and southerlies for England and Wales at T+144 as a low deepens over Ireland. Elsewhere winds are SE'lies. NOGAPS: http://217.160.75.104/pics/ngp10.prp.120.europeg.gif The UK lies under southerlies with a trough to the west. KMA: http://www.kma.go.kr/kma03/gif/g21nh_smsr_120.gif The Korean run brings low pressure close to the NW of the UK; this leads to SSW'lies for all. |

It would appear so for the next couple of weeks, then again we have had quite a few cold spells during late February/early March in recent years. _______________ Nick G Exe Valley, Devon 50 m amsl |

Once that kind of extensive zonal/mobile pattern develops at this stage of
"winter", my thoughts turn towards "roll on spring". Winters of eg, 1974/1989/1990 come to mind as examples. Still the UKMO, did not forecast a colder than average winter, just that there was a greater than evens chance of there being one. -- Pete Please take my dog out twice to e-mail --------------------------------------------------------------- The views expressed above are entirely those of the writer and do not represent the views, policy or understanding of any other person or official body. --------------------------------------------------------------- "Gavin Staples" wrote in message ...

Gavin Staples writes: So thats it for another winter. Here's to another mild winter. Sorry, Gavin, but this sort of post in early January really annoys me. No-one can forecast confidently beyond about a week ahead. You can make an informed guess for the second week that is more likely to be right than wrong, but beyond that nobody knows. There are plenty of cold GFS ensemble members for Moscow in the second week (at least, there were when I looked this morning), and although at present none of them show that cold air being advected our way it could easily happen. No, it's not likely, but it's certainly possible -- John Hall "I am not young enough to know everything." Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) |

The current operational run seems more interesting with anticyclonic southeasterlies the whole of next week and as far ahead as the 25th. If this comes off I guess there's the chance of a sustained sunny weather and hard frosts at night, even if now snow? I suppose there's the chance of dull, non-descript weather too... Nick |

No-one can forecast confidently beyond about a week ahead. You can make an informed guess for the second week that is more likely to be right than wrong, but beyond that nobody knows. Fair enough. I was asked today by some colleagues at work about whether we , in Dorset, might yet get some snow. I peered in to the coffee cup, looked for inspiration out of the window, and simply said 'Remember about February 6th 1996? That gave us all two days extra holiday and the place closed!' All those around showed great approval of this- snow and some time off - so the mid morning break was better than normal! At lunch two lady colleagues said they were 'freezing', yet at the time it was close to 7.8C So,really, we have a long way to go. By mid February I might juststart to think we are through winter....
