I particularly like the bit about the south and west seeing the most of any organised rain and snow.

That has stalling and retreating fronts written all over it.

I started to get the old Feb 78 tingle when I read that.

Lets hope they stand firm with this forecast and not start downgrading!

UK long range weather forecast

Wednesday 3 Feb - Friday 12 Feb

Wintry precipitation is likely to persist over northern areas on Wednesday, showers in the far southwest, elsewhere rather cloudy with plenty of dry weather. Mild at first in the south; though high pressure building up over the north of the UK during this period is likely to bring easterly winds, cold temperatures, and coastal snow showers. A pattern of wintry showers persisting across the far north, elsewhere seeing mostly fine weather, widespread frosts, fog, and icy patches. Eastern parts seeing the most hazardous conditions, with further snow showers likely. The south and west will see the most of any organised rain and snow, but frontal systems are generally not expected to progress across the country.

Updated: 04:00 (UTC) on Sat 30 Jan 2021

Friday 12 Feb - Friday 26 Feb

High pressure to the north looks set to remain for at least the beginning of this period, before slowly declining, although confidence at this range is low. Mid February will continue to see cold, dry, and wintry weather, but towards the end of the month more unsettled weather may encroach from the Atlantic. These may bring rain and snow at times to the west and southwest. There is a continued risk of significant snowfall events on the boundary between colder and milder airmasses, with snow possible in many areas.

Thats yesterdays....todays update here:

 

Thursday 4 Feb -Saturday 13 Feb

Low pressure dominant over the UK at first, bringing outbreaks of rain and snow over northern areas on Thursday with snow perhaps to lower levels. Further south milder and brighter with sunny spells and showers. High pressure then looks to gradually build to the north, introducing cold and dry weather across the UK with the chance of wintry showers along eastern coastal areas. Feeling cold, potentially very cold, especially in brisk easterly winds with widespread overnight frosts and the risk of icy stretches and wintry hazards. There remains the possibility of milder and wetter conditions fringing the far northwest at times along with organised areas of cloud and precipitation making limited progress inland from the southwest.

Saturday 13 Feb -Saturday 27 Feb

Confidence is low for mid-February onwards however similar conditions look most likely with high pressure remaining to the north of the UK bringing overall colder than average conditions and below average precipitation amounts. Through this period the risk of wintry hazards continues to be greater than normal with snowfall most likely in eastern areas. There remains the possibility of less cold interludes occurring from the west and southwest bringing wetter and milder conditions. In such instances, at the boundary between cold and mild air masses there remains the risk of disruptive snowfall.

That's an upgrade in my books ! Suggests a good chance of frontal 'battleground' snow chances for the snow starved south.

It also suggest longevity of the cold spell.

Quite so Purga. I,d happily take that for us here in the south and south west.

Seems to be a bit more emphasis on cold and dry today. All variations on a cold theme though.

I don't know, I saw it as a slight downgrade on yesterday, albeit still good.  However, they need to stay firm.

Don't want to delay to long. Down south the sun starts to get some strength from mid Feb. That's not to say it can't get cold and snow of course, just that as soon as the sun comes out it's drip, drip, drip.

On the MET site it always states that the forecast is updated at 04.00, never 04.30 etc always 04.00. However, the text doesn't update until the mid afternoon. Anyone know why this is?

Its updated, no change from what i can see from yesterdays.

Friday 5 Feb - Sunday 14 Feb

Low pressure dominant over the UK at first bringing showers and perhaps spells of rain and snow over northern areas on Friday, with a chance of snow to lower levels. Further south milder and cloudy with showers. High pressure then looks to gradually build to the north, introducing cold and dry weather across the UK with the chance of wintry showers along eastern coastal areas. Feeling cold especially in brisk easterly winds with widespread overnight frosts and the risk of icy stretches and wintry hazards. There remains the possibility of milder and wetter conditions fringing the far northwest at times along with organised areas of cloud and precipitation making limited progress inland from the southwest.

That's a downgrade, very cold gone and much drier.

They will say dry, but as long as we get an E'ly, there will be a lot of convective showers

Indeed that’s no downgrade. But if the rest follow the ECM op tonight then we can shout downgrade

That rather depends on flow direction and pressure. Feb 12 notably produced a very cold but bar 2 attacking fronts, a dry easterly because pressure was high and the flow was often more se than ene despite a big high over Scandinavia.

Once pressure gets to 1025mb you need stonking uppers to generate instability.

Still referencing that possible incursion into the northwest 

that says scandi ridge rather than Icelandic and possible mid lat if it sinks a bit with the coldest feed dropping south

There is virtually no difference from yesterday's update apart from dropping 'feeling cold or very cold', so I would not say it's a downgrade.
