Over the last few days, the GFS runs have been suggesting a generally cold
setup for the next couple of weeks. This morning the runs indicate that the frost that we might get in the next few nights might be the last for a while :-( |

It was all a bit early anyway, I shouldn't worry about at the moment.
Another month then I'll be looking a bit closer. Keith (Southend) http://www.southendweather.net |

Last night it had underlined a succession of outputs with either northerly and easterly components with a fantastic looking run. Over on TWO all were excited and becoming increasingly confident - incuding myself (fool). In fact so much so I actually awoke around six am to have a look and once again but like the promises made in the heat of the night that bloody temptress had gone cold by morning. |

GFS What a difference six hours make ! I wish it wouldnt throw in those anomalies ? |

GFS What a difference six hours make ! I wish it wouldnt throw in those anomalies ? If you look at the ensemble plots at http://www.wetterzentrale.de/topkarten/fsavnmgeur.html it is clear that the model runs diverge greatly after the 21st with, for example, 850 hPa temperatures for London ranging between -10C and +8C by the 24th (from the runs at 2005-11-16 00:00Z). The operational run sits in the upper part of the distribution. Cheers, -- Richard Stamper |

You cannot use that one operational run as the GFS long range view. You have
to look at all the ensembles to get an idea. Why people bother looking at that one published run I'll never understand. Add below URL to your favourites and use that instead. http://217.160.75.104/pics/MT8_London_ens.png ------------------------------------------------------------------ "Brendan DJ Murphy" wrote in message ...

Lawrence, and others. What I do in preparing my weekly forecasts is look at all the model deterministic runs and see how similar they are. That instantly gives me an idea of predictability. Then I look at the ensembles. The spaghetti maps I use for uncertainty in specific geographical regions but you have to be proficient in relating 500mb height patterns to expected sea-level developments. Then I look at the ensemble means which tell me the median and most likely solution in *general* terms. Then I try and relate all that to regional variations if possible. It helps if the deterministic (operational) run is close to the ensembles as then I can glean more detail such as precipitation, temperature etc. Then I go into my brain banks and see how all that is backed up by experience and recent patterns etc. I would do the above every day. Then I sit down and write the forecast on a thursday evening! The 00Z run of the GFS was clearly a mild outlier as Danny pointed out. The ensemble mean showed the high retrogressing, moving west, next week. Confidence in this was moderate looking at the spaghetti charts. Retrogression is definitely on the cards as very cold air gets established over eastern Europe and (dare I say it) a negative NAO is becoming established. So confidence ATM in retrogression and continued cold is moderate. Lawrence, you will appreciate that forecasting the weather is a specialised and skilled operation which is why you have people like me to do it :-) ATB, Will. -- " Ah yet another day to enjoy " ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A COL BH site in East Dartmoor at Haytor, Devon 310m asl (1017 feet). mailto: www: http://www.lyneside.demon.co.uk/Hayt...antage_Pro.htm DISCLAIMER - All views and opinions expressed by myself are personal and do not necessarily represent those of my employer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Yes, you do put the 'lid' back on Will, but without being disappointed it nice to look at those MRF charts. Incidentally, why is the 12:00 run always on the cold side, whereas in the morning the 00:00 run goes for the mild side. Do they have two forecasters with different preference's g Now that's what I call a NEGATIVE NAO :-) http://217.160.75.104/wz/pics/Rtavn3361.gif I do feel that the run up to Christmas could be very interesting and action packed, I'm not so sure that after that January and February maybe pretty mediocre. -- Keith (Southend) http://www.southendweather.net |
