    Step away from the controls Gonzo. Nice and easy now

    The GFS is drunk. Not one but possibly two polar lows moving south. It will no doubt sober up in the morning. I would dearly love if this was all showing at t24.

    The 18z ICON which goes to 120hrs links up the high with Greenland much quicker than the earlier run.

    Just for fun:

    The dream scenario. Nearly all of us get a decent covering of snow.

    The 18z GFS op run isn't without support and will rest somewhere in the middle of just north of the middle of the pack. The overall mean is a tad milder than the 12z I think but we may see a wider spread beyond 240hrs. The fact that is post 666 in the thread is not a good sign.

    GFS 18z says feck the taps lady, gimme top shelf!




  • Registered Users Posts: 562 ✭✭✭InAtFullBack


    -11c across the north! And we all know GFS undercooks temperatures in Ireland.

    Red flag hoisted. The milder members on various models have some credence with the NAO aiming toward positive territory around the 18th or so. Very much in keeping with MTCs closing line in his morning forecast.

    Upgrade again for Tuesday




  • Registered Users Posts: 2,951 ✭✭✭JanuarySnowstor


    Control colder still, snow across the far South and possibly East

    An interesting approach on the GFS. Building an upper Greenland High from the north more so than from the south (although they will meet). This is not shared with other models as of yet. This should mean colder air ejected from the most northern latitudes further south.

    That'll do pig, that'll do. Excellent overnight runs.

    Meantime ukmo for Tuesday!! Wow

    Over to you MT for Tuesday forecast




  • Registered Users Posts: 23,702 ✭✭✭✭Kermit.de.frog


    UKMO has a different evolution with Greenland but well on track.

    A decent mean from the GEFS

    Gem mean not so good with a lot of members showing a stronger Atlantic influence.

    There does appear to be a trend toward a milder Atlantic influence on our weather as we move beyond the middle of the month on the ensembles.

    ECM op run is mixed for cold prospects and gets into trouble around day 6. Picks up by day 8-9 or so. Contrast below. It does bring the cold in the last two frames.

    Op run overview: A really good gfs and gem, good icon and ukmo, and average ecm overnight.

    Ens overview: Gefs ensembles and UKMO are excellent, but gem is average. ECM won't be out until 8am or so and will clarify the mid run wobble regarding heights.

    That deep cold over North America in a week's time might serve to fire some life back into the Atlantic. MTCs forecast invokes some confidence that the signal is somewhat weak regarding this milder push or a westerly -NAO.

    Have a weather station?, why not join the Ireland Weather Network - http://irelandweather.eu/

    Yes not without interst Wolfe.

    I think the last paragraph of MTC holds most interest considering I thought the atlantic would have a bigger say going by ECM. He sees a polar source of winds yet they must swing into a more NE diection if he references December 2010.

    Anyhow as he says himself along way off to have confidence.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,157 ✭✭✭Rebelbrowser


    Yeah, this Monday night / Tuesday beginning to look like it might justify its own thread. God knows the very cold spell from 15 Jan could not materialise whilevthe snow chance in 3 days time looks a bird in the hand at this stage. Perhaps we should keep posting in the T<120 thread for now and wait until the low resolution models start coveting the period tonight but if anyone wanted to start a thread now I wouldn't complain....

    06Z GFS is a beauty so far! 😍



  • Registered Users Posts: 16,753 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    John Holmes, a poster on Netweather not known for ramping, seems confident of a snowy spell. He is unsure how long it will last. Meanwhile the GFS has this for the 16th:




  • Registered Users Posts: 562 ✭✭✭InAtFullBack


    Has anyone ever seen GFS prog a -11c over Ireland (at 2m, not 850hPa!)



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,340 ✭✭✭pureza


    I'm pretty sure yes in the Nov Dec 2010 period



  • Registered Users Posts: 280 ✭✭almostthere12


    I’d take that GFS 06z all day long, snow for everyone. Still would like to see the ECM get back onboard, tentative steps this morning from the 15th but avoiding any potential for this coming Tuesday!



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,147 ✭✭✭TonyMaloney


    There are some tasty looking gefs ensembles




  • Registered Users Posts: 403 ✭✭Reversal


    Now hopefully the ECM will come back on board without the GFS flipping again 😝



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,877 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    We need both the ECM and GEM much more confident to be confident ourselves of a cold outbreak developing in 10 to 14 days time. Until we get rid of the scatter I do not feel confident.

    A huge range of scatter from 5 days time onwards. This will end up either going mild to very mild or cold to extremely cold.

    Not as much scatter with the GEM compared to the ECM but still too many mild members for comfort.

    Whatever about the GFS, I think the ECM is not convincing (yet). Be interested to see what the 06ECMWF ens do shortly.


    A relatively quick return to a milder zonal pattern in about 11-12 days also has been cropping up on most model output since Thursday evening. Nao does return to neutral status by then, according to the Index forecast. That too can alter of course

    Ant y strat warmings could produce a vastly different outcome to the above too so we may not get model consistency anytime soon.


    Edit update: 06z ecm tidies up the 00z heights mess over Greenland. 12z ecm should bring about a smoother transition to that colder airmass later next weekend unless some other fly drops into the ointment.


    Additional edit. UKMO long range has updated. We are moving to Defcon 2 for the Atlantic 😫

    Sounds great to me, a month long battleground 😁
