The plot below shows the forecast evolution for the maximum mean wind in a 5x5 degree box centered on Southern Uist (see plot below for box) valid 12UTC on 4 August. Here we see much higher maximum wind in the short-range forecasts from IFS compared to both AIFS and AIFS-ENS. Some members in IFS-ENS has very extreme winds. This should be compared to IFS cycle 50r1 once e-suite is available.
Below we have the ensemble stamps for MSLP for ENS control and ensemble members. Valid at 4 August 2025 12 UTC and T+36, T+84h and T+132, for ENS control and IFS ensemble members and AIFS single and AIFS-CRPS
