The above suggests the ridge building strongly to the NW with winds backing into the north east and east.

And yet Marco has this evening tweeted nothing majorly cold in the outlook... unsure about SSW...

As always we will just have to wait and see.

Friday 25 Dec - Sunday 3 Jan
An area of high pressure is expected over the west of the UK during Christmas Day and Boxing Day, bringing cold and generally dry conditions for most. A few showers may occur in eastern coastal areas, and light rain and stronger winds will affect the northwest. Fog formation and overnight frosts are possible over these days, more so in the south. Towards the new year, a shift to far more unsettled conditions is looking likely. Atlantic low pressure systems could bring potentially stormy weather at times, with strong northerly winds, heavy rain, and potentially snow. These conditions being more severe in the north but could affect all areas of the UK at times. Temperatures either close to or below average for the time of year.

Updated: 04:00 (UTC) on Sun 20 Dec 2020

Saturday 2 Jan - Saturday 16 Jan

Although confidence is low going into the new year, it looks as though high pressure will remain dominant over the UK, meaning dry but cold weather for many parts. This will increase the potential for overnight frosts and fog formation, with the fog possibly being slow to clear during the day. Some periods of wetter weather may develop at times, most likely in the south and east, and with temperatures forecast to remain colder than average, this precipitation could be wintry at times. Towards mid-January, a gradual change to more unsettled conditions is likely with Atlantic low pressure systems moving in from the west, bringing milder temperatures, rain and stronger winds to the UK.

Not a bad outlook.Of course at this range they can't promise a white out in any northerly outbreaks but we are in with a shout if the current modeling verifies.If it holds long enough the deeper cold will come further south.

Interesting they have mentioned westerlies coming back later in January.Their modeling must be seeing zonal winds,ie pv strength increasing.We will see.

They keep on putting this date back though Phil,it was the first half of Jan last Wednesday.

Sunday 3 Jan - Sunday 17 Jan

High pressure may build from the southwest at the start of January, bringing more settled conditions to the UK. Northwesterly winds are likely, bringing wintery showers to western and northern areas, and causing the east to experience drier weather. These settled conditions are likely to persist for the rest of this period, increasing the potential for overnight frosts and fog formation, with the fog possibly being slow to clear during the day. Although less likely, there is still a chance that a few low pressure systems may affect the UK, temporarily bringing bouts of rain, stronger winds and milder temperatures. Temperatures will likely remain below average, though short-lived spells of more average temperatures are possible.

They have pretty much given up on the return of the Atlantic now up to mid month at least. A refreshing change after the recent flooding here in the west.

Yes i noticed .Still the effects on the strat to be ascertained as well with all the wave action.We can see why the uncertainty is there.

They seem to suggest a holding pattern, of strong mid atlantic heights ridging north and a predominant flow from between north and west, with the odd low pressure filtering around the high. Mention of snow for end of December as well.

A very wintry outlook for northern high ground, ski resorts will be very disappointed this year if they get a great season yet no-one can use the facilities - it will be sod's law this happens!

Indeed...

I've been thinking high ground locally might do well in the run up to the New Year...

Altitude required difficult to call but I'm thinking 250m Pennine areas, 300m + is almost certainly getting clobbered...

Saturday 26 Dec - Monday 4 Jan

A ridge of high pressure extending across the country on Christmas Day bringing mainly dry conditions with southern areas seeing the most prolonged sunshine. Rather cold with a widespread frost to start the day. Cloud amounts increasing from northwest with more unsettled conditions spreading southeast across the country into Boxing Day. Very unsettled conditions continuing to dominate through to the end of the year with spells of heavy rain and strong winds. After a milder interlude on Boxing Day, turning colder again with hill snow expected, also a chance of snow down to lower levels in places. Rather cold, showery conditions look likely to continue into early January. However, there is an increased chance of pressure building from the southwest which may bring drier, more settled conditions for a time.

Monday 4 Jan - Monday 18 Jan

A continuation of rather cold, showery conditions look most likely to continue through the early part of January with showers likely wintry in places. There remains a chance of some more settled spells developing from the southwest at times. These would bring more widespread overnight frosts and fog patches. By mid-January confidence in the prevailing weather patterns becomes much more uncertain. There are tentative signs that more unsettled conditions will develop widely again with temperatures returning to around average.

Another subtle change in the long term output into mid Jan, from:

"Although less likely, there is still a chance that a few low pressure systems may affect the UK, temporarily bringing bouts of rain, stronger winds and milder temperatures. Temperatures will likely remain below average, though short-lived spells of more average temperatures are possible"....

To: 

"By mid-January confidence in the prevailing weather patterns becomes much more uncertain. There are tentative signs that more unsettled conditions will develop widely again with temperatures returning to around average."

Very long way to go though.... nail biting stuff!!!

No idea what sort of elevation needed though   

100m upwards would be great hahaha

Sunday 27 Dec - Tuesday 5 Jan

It will be staying unsettled through to the end of December with a mixture of sunny spells and showers, but also some longer spells of rain. Temperatures are expected to be below average with snow expected over hills, but this is also likely to fall to lower levels at times, especially but not restricted to the north. It will be often windy too, with a risk of coastal gales. Going into early January there are signs that more settled weather will develop, particularly across western areas of the country. Should this occur, overnight frosts will become more widespread and there are likely to be morning fog patches. Temperatures are likely to be remaining below average.

Tuesday 5 Jan - Tuesday 19 Jan

A continuation of rather cold conditions look most likely to persist through the early part of January. A decent amount of fine and dry weather is likely to persist too with western areas likely drier than average. Eastern areas have the greatest chance of seeing wintry showers at times. By mid-January confidence in the prevailing weather patterns becomes much more uncertain. There are tentative signs that more unsettled conditions will develop widely again with temperatures returning to around average.

This has been on the cards for sometime, notice how over the last week or so they keep putting back the time at which they make even a tentative stab at a return to normal temps.
