I can only say from past experience of watching it, they never take into account the subsequent shifts that we can see on the 12z runs. I would suggest it has to be written by late afternoon, and you wouldn't base it on the GFS/UKMO 12zs if you didn't have the ECM by then.

18z holding steady with little change in the short-term. Tuesday looks potentially snowy still.

Yes I'm not overly interested in what the pub run has to offer post 144 or so given the 12z ens spread so all eyes to the UKMO, GFS and ECM 00z outputs in the morning. ECM obviously the one to watch given it's 'wobble' or whatever you want to call it.
Decent 18z
Nice little upgrade from the 18z looks like little snowy low in the north sea at 156h
Better get it fixed Geoff you really are a miserable bloke at times the question is is it cold or very cold outlook.
this is the first potential cold spell that I have paid no attention to. I’m rather pleased I haven’t invested any time in it yet as it does look very uncertain. Brexit is far more interesting! And my heating is playing up so I dont mind it going Pete tong

Pub run is as drunk as me! Wow
It's not that different from the 12z Mr Beast so be encouraged my friend. We need a strong 00z output in the morning now
It has verified better than the 00z and 12z recently, so I wouldn't dismiss it. The 6z is regularly the worst verifying run on the GFS cycle.
18z is an upgrade for the east and south east... but overall a downgrade.
Temps are seemingly less severe and most western areas turn drier quicker. Hopefully features will develop. However as we found in the last easterly a lot pf western britian remains dry.
All this said... the HP to the north loads broader and stronger on this run.

No it isn’t really though is it?
The runs could take a step back at 00z tomorrow and then improve again at 12z.
Its that fickle.
GFS is consistent with this
And why is the crunch tomorrow lol
How times do people say " the next run is crucial " , " the key day is blah blah blah "
No dig at you its just funny , its no more important than Sunday or Mondays IMO

Stuck in the cold
Until we get agreement from the big guns across the board then every next run is crucial
So it stands to reason given ECM's output this evening... the morning output is...... crucial!
Your mate Mr Murr sausager said hello I see
Some downgrade (not)!
We are now firmly in rollercoaster terratory. GFS shows what coldies want but ECM has an equal chance of having the correct solution. And all this still 48 hrs away from the US cyclogenesis that will dictate what happens.
Its fun though!
