    Morning! It looks like things will be turning colder from the North with each day through this week with frost becoming severe later in the week. To start with the Jet Stream profile is getting much more condusive to a Northerly plunge that could end up being a longer duration then is currently modelled by the GFS.

    Rtavn11414.png


    Everything North, South.

    The result is actually quite a potent, allbeit, brief incursion of very cold weather

    Rtavn1142.png





    Rtavn1261.png


    GFS goes on to sink the Northerly by the end of the weekend but still very cold for Sunday and milder Westerlies follow on.



    ECM has a similar outlook.

    Recm1441.gif


    UKMO is the coldest of them all with something probrably a bit more sustained.

    Rukm1441.gif

    That is next weekend though so plenty of time for things to change. In the mean time turning colder this week with a strenghtening Northerly wind. Frosts becoming severe again at night.


    Rtavn4817.png


    Tuesday night typical of the temperatures to expect during the week at night.


    Fog should not be as much of an issue generally next week. It should be mostly dry though to Thursday at least. Then those snow showers at the weekend with the North, West and East all at risk.

    It's a developing situation for the end of the week. Frost, Ice, and Snow returning. The only question is for how long?

    More later...

    Something to prepare for.

    I noticed on the Met Eireann charts on the farming forecast for the week it is starting like the previous cold period - the high pressure will move to the west of us, low to the east or north east - a northerly flow and the high possibly heading towards Greenland with a ? mark there, have to wait and see.

    Definitely does look a return to the cold...can't say I'm looking forward to it. Still have a tiny bit of snow leftover from a drift here...its waiting for more....

    The North Atlantic Oscillation is positive so that is mitigating against a proper retrogression of high pressure into Greenland.

    The Polar Vortex, the excitable atmospheric conditions depicted by the deep blue and purples on the charts above, for a long cold period like we had earlier this season would have to go into Scandinavia and stay there and preferably move south then.

    There is little sign yet of a big pressure rise over Greenland but we have seen this forcast change in the past much closer to the time. For the moment it looks like the much colder weather will be temporary 48hr thing. However that can change. And given recent events there is not much reason to believe it won't change. My own feeling is that the cold will last longer then currently forcast and will get deeper during the coming weekend. At least lasting into the early days of next week. That's just my own interpretation. It could pan out exactly as forcast but that's unlikely.


    Keep an eye on the NAO forcast. It is still positive or neutral but is forcast to go more negative in the next few days which could have interesting consequences in the next few forcast model runs.

    The Artic Oscillation menwhile continues it's slide into deeper negativity

    These signs look ominously familiar. The risk of a prolonged colder period is increasing. But we are not there just yet.

    SUNDAY NOON LONDON TIME
    Winter spreads back west


    If one looks at the London-Berlin example I was using as a contributor to the global temp challenge of Jan 1-10, we find the idea of a return to normalcy posted here a couple of weeks ago was right. The first 15 days of the month ran 7.5 below normal, by far the most widespread cold in populated areas of northern Europe for this harsh part of winter since the 80s. The last 8 days have seen Berlin stay in the cold, and this is what I had said, the further east you went the more the cold would hold... they have been -6.5 SEVERE COLD is taking hold over Germany. However London is 1.6 above normal since Jan 16.

    The cold is getting ready to expand west again!

    So folks in the battle of Britain and France that at least has allowed winter to let up a bit here ( mind you the "thaw" is to around normal and part of the winter forecast... that cold centered over the east and maritime air masses would do battle) is going to come to a crashing end later this week. And while when its all said and done the CORE OF COLD WILL BE WHERE IT WAS IN 02-03 its simply that this winter is even colder than that one for the areas targeted.

    Now you want to see a real thaw... and by the way winter is returning to the states also, look at the Us contributors to this: Chicago and NYC the first 15 days of the month...-3.9. Since then: PLUS 8.4 So they got a major break but winter is about to close in on them also.

    So make sure the winter woolies are ready anew... its coming later this week

    ciao for now

    Interesting update Darkman 2.

    A couple of points also if I may. Firstly, the NAO is actually currently in a weakly negative phase, as indicated by the charts you have posted above. This was confirmed by NOAA in their Extended Forecast Discussion yesterday. However, it is only weakly negative it has to be said, at least at the moment.

    I would tend to agree with your own feeling on the longevity of any cold incursion. Or at least, maybe it is a case that a slight interlude may be reached only for blocking to return again. Each NWP Operational evolution is subsequently building stronger pressure over Greenland for the timeframe on the previous run - a clear example of this being the overnight UKMO Evolution.

    Apart from the NAO & AO Signal, by far the most interesting at the moment is that of the 30mb Temperature Profile. Latest observations indicate that immediate downwelling, or penetration to the troposhere, of the warming event, is taking place. The general signature of such warming at the tropospheric level is for largescale blocking to develop.

    Overnight multi-model guidance is certainly in favour of a rather potent variable Northerly flow during the second half of the coming week. Again, there is much emphasis upon a semi-retrogressive block with at least some real height rises over Greenland, associated with this HP Block centred in the High Northwest Atlantic. Forcing, generated by the segment of the Polar Vortex dropping into Scandinavia will aid in the Westward progression of this block.. Longer term signals are very mixed, with no clear pattern emerging. It is quite possible that we will remain in a Polar Maritime airflow, after a Polar flow later in the coming week. There is even no general trend beyond Day 7 at the moment, however most Guidance overnight models a gradual collapse of this Block, by the end of the week.

    If the overnight 00Z Guidance from ECMWF & UKMO were to verify, then we would be looking at rather widespread and relatively severe frosts during the second half of the coming week, with the threat of sleet & snow showers mainly across Northern districts and in coastal areas, but also into Eastern areas if the general evolution were to occur as modelled on the overnight UKMO 00Z Evolution. A certain amount of cold troughing is likely across the continent in the latter part of the week, with deep cold air in place.

    A cold incursion does look increasingly likely during the second half of the week, but is by no means a certainty at this time.

    The 30mb Temperature is now quite some way above average, still rising almost vertically, at about an angle of 87 Degrees overall. If we are to see another 5 - 7 degress of warming, we could be very optimisitc for at least some influences at the tropospheric level later into February.

    Yes, all very interesting indeed. It looks like the Arctic outbreak currently down the Davis Strait and Labrador Sea will deepen the west atlantic trof, forming a cut-off low southweswards of the Azores, allowing the retrogression of the European high to mid Atlantic, a setup very similar to the early January situation. But it looks with the polar vortex never showing proper splitting, there could be enough energy coming from northern Canada next weekend to shove the High southwards, as the global pattern takes on a more progressive 7-wave pattern.

    no. - 5 or -6 at most, by night, i'd say. the cold won't last too long either - three-four days at most.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,279 ✭✭✭Su Campu


    The Eagle said the northerly would be dry, apart from a few wintry showers for the north and west. He mentioned frost as being the main event by the end of the week.

    The exact details of the week ahead are likely to change back and forth a bit, but certainly January looks like ending the coldest month relative to averages for a helluva long time!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,150 ✭✭✭Deep Easterly


    I am not convinced at this stage that anything this weekend is worth even talking about. Looks to be a bit cooler once again with the greatest risk of anything wintry in the north (as usual) but I am guessing that south Connacht will once again miss out due to the lack of any notable troughing in the weekend northerly on the latest models.

    However, it is very early yet and who knows, maybe the next few runs will up the depth of showery troughs for the coming weekend. There is room for this to happen certainly, but whether it does or not remains to be seen at this stage.

    Indeed. They can also call 1850 sneachta if they get really concerned;) See if you can guess which caller is Black Briar :p






    On the outlook as stated above it is still a bit far out for certainties. It's going to get colder but the minor details will have to wait another couple of days.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,693 ✭✭✭Redsunset


    I agree with DE,we seem to be a tad too far west.
    Sure it will be colder but nothing to be getting too excited about im afraid.
    Hope im wrong and the models spring a surprise but not seeing it yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,958 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    If it's windy, as predicted, then in a north westerly airflow the showers will push well inland from the coast and not die out. ok they may not make it to the south east and east, but it still counts if it snows outside of Dublin;)

    Also, the longer the cold airflow lasts, without being weakened by the high pressure close by, or modified by the sea temps, the greater the chance of an unexpected feature popping up. With this in mind let's hope the GFS is right about the cold returning for the early days of February, but it's the ECM that usually gets it right when the models differ :(:(

    It may well turn a little milder by Monday. In the meantime severe frosts and Ice are coming back. Also on Thursday Night into Friday a frontal feature will cross the country from the Northwest. There is a risk of this turning to snow during late Thursday night and Friday morning.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,279 ✭✭✭Su Campu


    I think this week we can expect nothing more than a cold raw wind this week, with at most shallow Atlantic convection affecting the north and northwest. We're just in the wrong place for anything decent, too far west - again! Being on the easterly flank of the upper ridge, convection will be very limited. The only real exception I see is with this little shortwave trough Friday morning. It could give enhanced precipitation for a while, but what it falls as is not clear at the moment - snow on high ground, maybe at lower levels too along the east. But at this stage there's no point speculating on the finer details.
    90_27.gif

    It does look like come Saturday though, energy from northern Canada quickly shoves the high southwards, bringing a more zonal pattern to the north Atlantic, and possibly a chance of a brief snowy trough transiting southeastwards Sunday night/Monday.

    bitterly cold out there at the moment, different to that two weeks ago


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 8,632 ✭✭✭darkman2


    The 12z ECM now has 2 different potential snow events - the first on Thursday night, the second on Saturday night. In between and after harsh frosts and Ice and scattered snow showers. Snow showers again on Sunday mainly, but not exclusively, in the North and West. Very cold by day. At most low single figures.


    Su Campu, you may be correct in your analysis, but with respect I don't think you will be. Though I will gladly acknowledge if you are right and also acknowledge if I am wrong.

    Yes i too am liking the latest ECM.
    Earlier i was thinking the same as Su Campu as you can see in my previous post but if this ECM were to not downgrade i would then be hopeful of wintry precip a plenty in showers.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,150 ✭✭✭Deep Easterly


    Tonight's ECM keeps the cool, slack northerly going for an extra day or so, but apart from coastal showers, which may not necessary be 100% snow, I am thinking another quite, cool spell with some night time frosts at best, which will be most severe in the south due to the direction of the wind. I cannot be excited about this upcoming spell yet, but plenty of scope for upgrades in later runs.

    Has been a terrible winter for snow in my patch, I have seen more in one day in milder winters than for the entire period in this this cold one. A good storm or 5 would compensate nicely but nothing but mild, HP based south westerlies showing up on the long term ECM tonight. :mad:

    agreed same here this winter so far hasnt been great for snow in my patch either, 4 falls of snow to make up 2 inchs of snow from the 'big freeze'. Saw way more snow last February and the January in the winter before that.

    Of course I could well be wrong, it's just my opinion, but I must admit I can't see what you mean by a snow chance Thursday night from the charts you posted above? I agree a much better chance Saturday, but Thursday night just doesn't look remotely snowy to me from those charts, or indeed from any other models. As I said, maybe the shortwave Friday morning may produce mixed precipitation at best, but the coldest air will still be to come behind it.

    well, i got a little bit more than you, but, considering how exceptionally long the cold lasted, the snow return at lower levels was crap for much of the country. As you say we've sometimes seen more snow accumulate, from a northerly airflow in late february, during a predominantly mild winter.

    regarding this cold spell, it maybe well be that when it gets cold enough for snow to fall the energy to produce it is not there. so we could well end up on Sunday with wintry showers along the west, north west and north coast, with the rest of the country dry. As we know from the big freeze, and indeed past years, more often than not fronts coming from the north tend to make things the wrong side of marginal for snow at lower levels. So i'm not holding my breath for snow on Saturday either.

    so let's hope as the cold northerly air arrives it stays fairly windy:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,523 ✭✭✭jambofc


    not really getting to excited about this,doesn't look like there is to much in the way of precip around and ground temp's don't really look to cold in the daytime,not going to last long enough to give to much,pity as my snow amount was a dusting in the whole of the last cold spell :(
    oh if only we were a few hundred miles east.....


  • Registered Users Posts: 490 ✭✭Snowaddict


    Morning everyone,

    Models tend to over-react & be unstable when we are dealing with marked developments at the 30mb Level.. Even on the ECMWF Operational evolution last night, there was a clear strong area of positive height anomolies centred to the far Northeast in the form of a Siberian High. Over the coming 5 Days, we should begin to a see a gradual area of positive height anomolies forming over the Pole, intereacting to form a largescale blocking High to the Northeast.

    Subsequently, longwave pattern developments also support the notion of a strong area of positive height anomolies centred to the variable North, Northwest & Northeast.

    The initial northerly flow later this week into the weekend, is in my opinion, a direct response to the immediate warming at the 30mb level, the downwelling from which is already in evidence:

    Zonal Wind Anomoly Time Series

    time_pres_UGRD_ANOM_JFM_NH_2010.gif

    The 30mb Temperature has warmed significantly in the past 5 Days, as is clear from the latest 30mb Temperature profile chart. This is indeed a very significant warming & we can have confidence that at least some largescale blocking will develop as a by-product from this warming event. Further warming is indicated over the next 7 - 10 Days after a brief lull in the level of significant warming.

    pole30_nh.gif

    The exact position of any largescale blocking will be uncertain but I think that overall, the background signals used some 4 Days ago predicted the coming Northerly flow fairly well. It will be turning increasingly colder later in this week, with the threat of wintry showers at times, especially in exposed Northern and Northwestern areas. The main feature will be harsh, to perhaps severe frosts developing at night time, with minima of -5 possible in several areas.

    Further ahead, overnight 00Z Guidance is exceptionally positive, indicating Northward Warm Air Advection, with a further Easterly/Northeasterly flow developing in the long term.

    After the Northerly flow later this week, another Polar Maritime Northwesterly flow should then follow, followed by a gradual rise in pressure with conditions remaining cold rather than mild overall. There is the potential in the 10 Day timeframe for another renewed incursion, however that is some distance out yet.

    CPC Medium Term 500mb Prognostic Chart

    http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/products/predictions/814day/814day.03.gif

    An interesting period of weather ahead, with lots of potential & a solid major warming has taken place at the 30mb level. This is a positive indeed, but does not, as always, 100% Guarantee a cold outbreak further ahead, but it does increase the chances markedly. The location of any subsequent largescale blocking will also be uncertain.

    The strat warming will take at least 7 days to propagate to 1000hpa level. 6z ensembles show an average of almost -10 at 850 level near the end which I don't think I have ever seen before at this distance.

    My view of todays model outputs is that we have in fact already started a new and potentially severe period of weather similar, if not potentially even more severe then January in the next couple of weeks. There is now no sign of mild weather on the horizon and the output continues to get colder.


    ECM at 120hrs which is Sunday

    Recm1201.gif

    Very cold with snow showers. Frosts becoming severe this weekend with ice reforming on surfaces. Lying snow this weekend in the North and Northwest in particular.


    Into Monday

    Recm1441.gif


    Further snow showers. Cold air will be hard to shift by approaching fronts from the Atlantic. Think the ECM will show a snow event here and probrably a continuation of the very cold weather as pressure builds to the North.

    The more serious weather is still at least a week away and by definition is not gauranteed to happen like that but in the meantime frost and ice likely to be the issues over the weekend and some snow esspecially in Northern counties.

    the eagle mentioned the wintry showers would chieflly be in the north at the weekend, but the charts showed weak troughs passing down across the country on saturday. so whatever about the rest of us, you'll more than likely see snow at the weekend senor pangea, as will grace7.

    Some serious stuff right there.

    THE BIG FREEZE RETURNS FROM THURSDAY









    Let's hope the Government is prepared this time.

    I thought, that this upcoming cold spell was only going to be a brief interval, before normal westerlies brought mild weather back again?

    Great, theres still a good bit of snow lying around the hills in parts around here,
    as the old people used to say " When the snow is lieing around like that its waiting for more to come"
    ;)

    Oh be still my beating heart, it's like music to my ears...ok enough of the cliches.

    After the letdown last time I'm not getting my hopes up just yet, but judging by the expert opinions of my fellow boarders things are starting to hot up..or is that cool down? well you get my drift!...:D
