Nice to see some Purbs going very cold again towards the end of the run, one to watch

 

They’re the best I’ve seen in years exciting ! what I’ve been waiting for five years for this.

I'm really excited about next week's nationwide wintry potential, the Gfs 6z for example shows ice days, very frosty, icy nights and at least some snow at times, parts of the uk may do very well for snow and frosts would be severe over the snow fields. There is reload after reload of cold through low res with just a few mild days..plenty of wintry weather looks to be on the way next week ❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄

Yup pretty exciting indeed and Tuesday is starting to appear to have good potential snow-wise, maybe some snow showers in the south with the bitterly cold uppers clipping this area on Monday.

The stockpiling of cold air to our east is impressive. The Scandi high may get pushed back a bit further east. We would still be left in very cold air. However to tap into some really serious cold we want the high to remain over Scandi. Not beyond the realms of possibility given the 06z ensemble set.

Given cold air can be very stubborn and we have a very strong MJO phase coming up we may see this for a while, lets see what happens though.

We just need to focus up to around T144 given the synoptic pattern and the signs look good!
