Winter FI Charts

TheInquisitor · 2010-09-11 22:04:49

Never goin to happen, but if they did!!!! Think its time for a Fantasy Island thread as the models are starting to pump out some tastes of the winter to come*.*FI charts NEVER amount to anything! Might be fun just to have a thread of completly unrealistic, implausible and impossible charts because you'd never know... D…

I dunno about that! We can count ourselves lucky that we dont have to suffer the dreaded anticyclonic gloom (not yet anyway)
About a week ago I was convinced that the Atlantic was about to go on the rampage for the rest of the winter, at least we still have blocking.

Whatever can be said about the weather now, it's not damp, and it's far better than incessant zonal activity from the atlantic! Of course once it gets cloudy i'll be sick of it!

From reading MT etc I think that may well come to pass. Its the easterly off a Siberian high (I think?) in Feb we've speculated about. That chart looks epic to my untrained eye.

Save the image to ur desktop, then load it up to boards,

This is now a live image and will change with every model run ,

Its gone from having a deep cold pool, -8s uppers to -2s now on the next run !

Ive been caught on this before posting up a page to which black briar said was basically terrible , I only noticed the image I had posted with low uppers had turned to mild muck on the next run when checking in later on .

It looks like the vortex is almost on top of Scotland in that chart. That would bring serious blizzards to parts of Scotland. Ah well as you say too bad it won't work out like that:(

Ok serious straw clutching is in order tonight!

ALL models show the Atlantic breaking through soon, how soon? ECM/UKMO say very soon, unusually the GFS delays this, slightly.

Now at the moment it's forecast to be cool/cold zonality with the polar vortex close-by. This may or may not stand, more likely it downgrades to normal mild wet rubbish zonality. We can hope not though. I am not sure how close FI is ATM but i think it's quite close. All major models are showing a seriously deep low at some point in there runs, GFS/UKMO/ECM/BOM and GEM all show this. At different time scales though.

Now forget all that boring mush^^ what's caught my eye tonight is the 18z GFS. In FI this shows the potential for a scandi high to act as a Brick wall as the polar vortex is stopped in it's tracks to the west of Iceland. Now this is only one run in lala land but shows that the Atlantic might be sent packing soon after it arrives.

Dan:cool:
