Not on the EC00 at T+240 it's not - 850hPa temperatures are as high as 20C as far as the East Midlands, with CAPE as much as 3,500 J/kg in eastern England at T+222. Not that this will necessarily come to fruition. In fact that specific scenario is low probability at the moment. "Toppler plume" is a meaningless phrase. The plume, should it develop, may well be just east of the UK, as is so often the case, but that's nothing to do with "toppling". Stephen. |

I like it, you don't. That's not going to worry me. *)) PS Plumes really don't "develop to the east of us". You don't like the phrase "toppler plume" which describes the sequence of changes often seen on weather models in summer pretty well, but yet you keep saying this. |

I think you'll find that warm plumes _do_ preferentially develop to the east of the UK - due to topography, distribution of warm air over Europe and the orientation of the airflow of the troposphere due to that heat distribution. -- Freddie Bayston Hill Shropshire 102m AMSL http://www.hosiene.co.uk/weather/ https://twitter.com/#!/BaystonHillWx for hourly reports |

"Toppler plume" is used by nobody else on the planet and thus will not immediately be understood. Ergo it is a meaningless phrase. Moreover, it describes what you are trying to represent rather badly: cf the better use of "toppling high" (although not a favourite of mine), for example, during the winter, from which I presume you adapted your phrase. I did not say that plumes "develop to the east of us" once, never mind "keep saying it". Had a re-think about the 00UTC EC yet? Stephen. |

Semantics again. The development of a plume can be thought of as taking place along it's journey. I had used the idea of "develop" as "To bring into being". You are correct, most pass to our East and therefore continue to develop to our east, however, we are talking here about models changing their forecast of the path of the plume from its first appearance. Hence "toppler". It's |
