UK Outlook for Saturday 10 Feb 2018 to Saturday 24 Feb 2018:

A large degree of uncertainty exists in the forecast through this period, but it looks most likely that the second week of February should start with only slow moving weather patterns, these probably bringing a period of drier and brighter weather with overnight frosts. However some spells of milder, wet and windy weather cannot be ruled out, with these most likely across the north and west. Into the second half of February the forecast remains very uncertain. However, we are most likely to see short spells of wet and windy weather move across the UK, interspersed with colder, brighter and drier interludes. Although there will be variation through the period, temperatures will probably end up slightly below average for the time of year.

Friday will be another cold day with a sharp frost at first. There is then sunshine in store for eastern parts for a time, along with some wintry showers.

Well, there are plenty of "may" and "coulds" in there. Regrettably, a UK mid latitude high is the best we can get. Maybe Folkestone picking up a Kent clipper, but that's about it.

UK Outlook for Monday 5 Feb 2018 to Wednesday 14 Feb 2018:

Cloud, rain and snow are likely on Monday across much of the UK, clearing to sunshine and showers, although the southeast may stay largely dry. Outbreaks of rain and snow could then arrive in the north through Tuesday, with sunny spells elsewhere, although it will be cold. Changeable and windy weather will probably come back on Wednesday with rain and snow, before showers return on Thursday. By the following weekend, settled drier weather with lighter winds may become more dominant, accompanied by overnight frost and fog, which may take a long time to clear on some mornings.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 6 Feb 2018 to Thursday 15 Feb 2018:

Outbreaks of snow and coastal rain will spread eastwards across England and Wales on Tuesday, followed by sunshine and scattered wintry showers, particularly in the west. Many may then be drier on Wednesday, however further rain and snow may arrive from the northwest later. Thereafter, much of this period will remain colder than normal, with the risk of snow as frontal systems bump in to the cold air across the UK. In between, there will be a mixture of sunny spells and wintry showers with the strongest winds in the north and west, although where winds are lighter overnight there will be some severe frost. Towards the middle of the month, it may turn more settled bringing more prolonged drier weather, with frost and fog becoming more widespread.

UK Outlook for Friday 16 Feb 2018 to Friday 2 Mar 2018:

Through the middle of February it will remain cold but the weather may be more settled for a time with widespread frost and fog overnight. Later in the month, there is a large degree of uncertainty in the forecast, but it may turn more changeable again. This will bring a mixture of milder spells with cloud, wind and rain, as well as colder but drier spells. There remains a risk of snow as frontal systems spread in, as temperatures may often be below average. However, temperatures may return closer to normal towards the end of February.

The Easterly  at the moment is only forecast before the 6th   after that they assume  fronts from the Northwest will attack the UK

How many times was ‘may’ mentioned in the forecast ! ?

The set up currently doesn't look like bringing a sustained convective type easterly. However the bank of cold air is likely to stay wedged over mainland Europe with the UK at the meeting point between frontal systems from the Atlantic and that colder air.

The cold air originally comes in from the projected set up we're seeing now and will be topped up from time to time as pressure is likely to stay high to the ne.

The UKMO can't be more exact with detail this far out because  the strength of any blocking to the ne is difficult to pin down this far out.
