GFS 6z seems similar to ECM so far...

The GFS is showing a rather large band of rain sleet and snow down the western side of the UK. .... rain the further south you go

Other changes to....

Not great, but at least the 06z is a bit more like the ECM and more reflective of the GFS 00z ensembles.


From December 27th 2020, zonality will be banned from mixing with the UK. We appreciate that this may come as a shock to younger people and old Uncle Barty. This ban will last for a minimum of ten days.

Yes, you have to remember the ECM ensembles show surface temperature which can tell a very different story to the GFS ensembles showing 850mb temperature. 


The ECM would probably look unspectacular in terms of 850s but at this time of the year it will be a lot colder at the surface with 850s of 0C and a UK high than with 850s of -5c and a windy low pressure setup.

Someone else was calling the ECM 'faux cold' earlier which I nearly posted to disagree with too - it's not a warm high with stagnating cold imo. It's a chilly high that would get colder with stagnating cold air.

Better now that the -5hpa 850's are well into the South by Wed morning.
Although they retreat slightlyafter that it's in association with the fun and games of the low .

Good signs

GFS control so far


The interaction between the Icelandic shortwave and the one coming up from the south is crucial

Is GFS just reverting to the December pattern by default? I hoped we'd seen the back of the LP locomotive for a while.

Its not rocket science to see the difference perhaps gfs has a lot of adjustment to do Im very glad ecm shows what it does even at that FI time

GFS showing a bit more potential but the op run still reverts to Euroslug in the latter reaches.

In the meantime we hang on to HP for a little longer.
