Trouble is, in my books a cold snap in March is about as welcome as a fart in a crowded lift while hearing someone coughing. 

All my thoughts and energy are now being reserved for looking out for the first bit of proper warm and dry weather, good enough to do gardening while in shorts and T shirt and some of the outputs actually fills me with some hope with that to mind.

What certainly seems to be moving forward on the ECM at least is a nice high pressure dry out. From around 192 now from 240 a few days ago with the high over us. 


From there could move N or E - but that will depend on events upstream too.

don't think it's going to be cold enough or soon enough to save my CET guess this month

Siberian high position quite good on the 12Z. You can see where the really cold air is with the dark purple colours.

We can see the cold air trickling into scandanavia. The favourable orientation of the siberian high gives a rather direct path to cold for Scandi.

So when the cold air finally starts to arrive:



It is sourced from siberia. This would be colder than the period we have just seen if it comes off.


 


The siberian high has high confidence, if it forms in the right place it seems inevitable the cold air will eventually get to the UK.


We will avoid cold if it sets up to far SE or too far NW


Also if that lobe of polar vortex over northern canada comes too far south


The GFS shows the ideal scenario.

Siberian airsource 'pinched off' by about 300h. But has brought uppers of -32C into Eastern Europe by that time.

Nooo please not the GFS scenario with temps of 17 this weekend my spring head will be screwed on. Looks a distinct possibility of a final cold blast though

Thats a hell of a final blast from winter in the GFS... BFTE standards..


with stronger sun, we could see some interesting showers from this if it came off

ECM looks to be setting up an easterly to start March as well. Some insane cold to our east if we can tap into it . We could be looking at something special again.

On it's own in terms of severity but it does have support from several other runs that get down to or around -10. 


ECM looking interesting at the end as well, signs that the high is moving NE, whether it can get above the low pressure and aligned in the right position for us over Scandi remains to be seen. 


Still an eternity away but a nice trend to see

Siberian high in a similar position to the 12Z.


Looks slightly less ideal though with its eastward extent somewhat smaller than with the 12Z.


More worryingly that lump of cold over canada is pushing further south and east

A bit of a theme developing with a possible cold start to March. It's entirely possible I suppose but I'm ready for Spring now.
