The Cold Is Coming, Firstly To East, Then West Before Moderating
Many cities across Europe will struggle or fail to reach freezing by mid next week
The european continues to show the building of a Scandinavia/eastern Europe trough which grows both larger and colder into early and mid next week, I completely agree with this and have been on board this idea for about a week now and forecasted this largescale hemisphere-wide flip to colder for around the 15th Jan onwards back on Christmas Day.
While a benign start to next week kicks in for the western continent including Ireland, UK and Low countries, watch as it turns stormier over southern Europe as the jet sweeps down over the northern shore of the Med with lots of very cold air reaching as far south as north Italy, Greece, the Balkans and Turkey. It’s here the Atlantic storm track will be while covering much of the heart of the continent will be very cold ARCTIC air which will rule most of the major eastern and central European cities with subfreezing days and bitter nights. We could see a decent snowfall as the polar front sweeps south.
By late week, the models keep showing a westward migration of the cold pool with meets a trough which slides into the UK-Ireland from the Atlantic. The very cold air leaves eastern Europe and transfers back north into Scandinavia and this cold then bleeds SW into the trough which covers the west. Daytime highs from Inverness to Birmingham may struggle to reach 0C/32F by this weekend and if skies are clear, winds light and perhaps some snowcovered ground. I suspect many towns and cities across the UK and even inland areas of Ireland may dip to -6C or colder. Sheltered, rural areas may reach -10C or lower.
Milder air returns to much of the Mid-latitudes AFTER next weekend but stronger, longer cold spell may be looming
Once we enter the following week I do expect moderation in the chill in response to a more positive NAO and the retreat of cold overall in the hemispheric pattern. This due to a recent cooling of the stratosphere. However, myself along with other much more skilled long range forecasters agree to a return to colder with the restablishment of the teleconnection into February. A stronger stratospheric warming event is currently in progress and if one wants to go by some of the long range models, a dramatic flip to strongly negatiove AO and even NAO shows up for later down the road. What does this mean? A blocking high builds over the N. Atlantic and Greenland at the same time the door of the Arctic reopens again to the mid-latitudes. In laymens terms, that means a long, stronger cold spell for perhaps the closing days of January lasting into a good part of February. Exact timing is difficult to say at this time.
