Will, should we note that as maybe something to watch out for ?
Victor

Would that reinforce zonal conditions in the South but make it colder in the
North although still mainly westerly? Or would the synoptics depend on how
far South the jet was?

Dave



Dave if the jet sinks to about 50 deg N then we are in the firing line for some
deep lows crossing England, possibly giving snow in the north on their northern
flank.
But if the jet sinks further south then there is a possibility of the flow
splitting and setting up a blocked pattern again, usually behind a deep low
which becomes slow moving to the south of us. Things all depend on important
details such as perturbations in the jet which are all impossible to predict at
medium range (one reason why we see models oscillate in low positions and
timings etc.)

Will/Dave,

The 12Z GFS solution has a good example of this next weekend as the jet
sinks S and bifurcates over S. France -

Cheers Will.

Looking good for cold weather predicted by Brian Gaze and Metcheck :-)

Maybe some snow for us in Bristol by the end of next week.


Yeah yeah, i know this is an imposter troll

but looking bad for the second cold spell forecast by Metcheck for Dec
4th to Dec 7th

some places are going to see 14, 15 or maybe even 16C
Warm snow anyone?

That's what 'we' wanted, Will, but there was a distinct lack of mobility on
the 12Z model runs, at least across the south.
I know a few that will be nervous wrecks if we have week after week of fog
and stratocu mind games :-|

Confidence high that next week will gradually see a change to very

unsettled,
wet, and at times, very mild conditions in all areas. However, confidence

only
low to moderate for the details of the change, but reasonably confident of

the
sequence.

A ridge of high pressure should ensure a fine day in most places on

Sunday. Mild
in freshening west to southwest winds which will become strong in the

north.
Possibly exceptionally mild in parts of eastern England and eastern

Scotland
with temperatures perhaps reaching 14 or 15 deg C. Rain from a warm front

is
likely to spread into western Scotland and northern Ireland later in the

day.

On Monday a very deep low will be running to the north of Scotland giving
westerly gales and possibly storm force winds for a time in the northern

Isles.
Scotland and northern Ireland will have rain followed by squally showers.

Some
rain further south over England and Wales but southern Britain likely to

stay
dry, rather cloudy and mild in moderate west to southwest winds.

Tuesday looks like being another fine day in most places, but possibly

rain
spreading into western areas later. Generally mild with winds easing.

Wednesday is the day that significant rain is likely to spread into

southern
Britain from yet another Atlantic low. All other areas seeing rain too.

Turning
colder later as winds swing into the northwest bringing showers which will
possibly turn wintry over northern hills.

A fine and cold start to Thursday with more showers in places exposed to

the
northwest. Possibly a frost in sheltered southern and eastern parts.

However,
more rain is likely to spread back in from the west in strengthening

southwest
winds from another deepening Atlantic low. Turning milder again.

On Friday there is a low risk of a major storm crossing the UK. More

likely
though, is another ordinary depression followed again by a return to

colder
weather on Saturday in north to northwest winds with showers turning

wintry on
northern hills.

This then sets the scene, until at least the third week, of a generally

westerly
pattern with spells of mild, wet and windy weather followed by short

colder
northerly interludes with wintry showers over high ground. Always a risk

as well
of major storms crossing Britain with the jet stream sinking south with

time.

south?

================================================== ==================

Sean ?, I'm not going to get into a virility contest here :-)

I issued my forecast on thursday, I suggested a *gradual* change to zonal
conditions with lowish confidence on the details of the transition. I admit that
it might take a bit longer for the south to become wetter (not Weds as
indicated) but certainly in the north the change is there (and we are
forecasting nationally after all, not just for SE England !).

The other point is the temperature, already at 1100 Saturday my temperature is
reading 10.9 deg C so there is no doubt in my mind now that it is going to stay
mild for the forseeable future (probably next 2 weeks at least).

The Met Office forecast a mild winter, I can see no reason or evidence to doubt
that. Maybe Brian Gaze knows something the Met Office doesn't, if that is the
case, where is his evidence ?

The Met Office could be wrong and Brian may be right (personally I hope that is
the case because I love snow) but we will have to wait and see.

Finally all my forecasts are on a take it or leave basis done in my own free
time (not a lot nowadays) , I do not pretend to be a weather company and I fully
expect some to go wrong. Overall though I'm generally quite happy.

So what's your problem ?

Will.

Mr Blowman, hah, yes mate. I would rather believed a time-served forecaster
who has seen it, and done it etc. We'll come back to the Sainted Mr Gaze's
forecasts at the end of December and the end of winter, then we'll see who's
got it. You can bet the 12z models runs will be different from the 06z,
nothing is surer.

Sorry Will, but I think all private companies who produce forecasts should
be made to analyse their forecasts at the end of the period, and then
APOLOGISE if they get it wrong, rather than trumpet their latest forecasts,
having quietly forgotten their failures.

In forecasting, "No-one remembers when you get it right, but you aren't
allowed to forget if its wrong." Perhaps something to remember.

However for those who might be interested...

06Z GFS T+96 & T+120 does show High pressure TRYING to encroach from the
east, but t+144 shows it retreating and T+168 shows mild SW'lies...

00Z UKMO T+96 shows high trying to build but by T+120 its retreating, and by
T+144 shows sw'lies with a front pushing through.

00Z NOGAPS T+96 shows high trying to build from the east, but with T+120 not
available, T+144 suggests a return to sw'lies and possible stormy
conditions.

00z ENS T+96 shows s or sw'lies across most or all of the country, T+120,
ditto with fronts approaching, T+144 has fronts sat across Ireland with
sw'lies across Britain, and T+168 shows the fronts having passed and sw'lies
for all.

I could go on, but none of the models I have access to on
http://www.wetterzentrale.de suggest anything else but zonal unsettled
weather out to the end of the coming week.

Now I am willing to admit that beyond T+96, these models are best taken with
a large sack of finest Cheshire salt, but when they all seem to suggest
similar things, perhaps their MIGHT be something in the trend they are
suggesting.

Sorry Darren for usurping your regular post but thats whats the models that
Mr Blowman is quoting are showing. If two days of possibly cooler settled
weather for the SE are enough to make the TWO forecast correct, then I
despair....

Mr Blowman, thanks for that constructive scientific comment.

Just looked at the 18Z progs and they look pretty zonal to me after

midweek.
Mild too I might add.

Cheers,

Will.
