a bit north for my liking, could do with setup further south, looks like even streamers for N UK, then less cold for S

Yes possibly  however to far out to consider  but both ECM and Icon give us a streamer next week from the north east.  Mind you anything could pop up in the flow

This is what I am most interested in at the moment, it will be interesting to see how this feature develops over the coming days.

Yes  The Icon is more Hi Res  than most i believe. This feature was also on the ECM.  Certainly something to keep an eye on  looking at the evolution its heading South West  so that would engulf the whole of the region.  Exciting times  Will it be included on the fax charts?.  actually i expect its this trough?.

You're right, hopefully it will maintain intensity as it crosses the country. I suspect that is the feature on the fax chart hanging off the coast of Norway.

I thought it was the Trough over East Anglia   seems spot on with the Icon    anyway  be good to see how it evolves.

The date says Monday at 12, it shouldn't be near our Eastern coast at that time, also, it seems to Southerly to be that trough I would imagine.

Yes your right  didnt clock the time on the Fax.  That Trough must be another little feature

Today's stats: min 1.3 °C; max 4.5 °C. But as it's already down to 1.7 °C, today's minimum isn't going to stand much longer! 

I would have posted that a little earlier, but I've been distracted by the model output!

Ay mr Wheeler,  saw your post in model thread , great GFS and UKMO! but Arpege balls as Frosty posted, need a key EC, not north (GFS 06Z) and certainly not south like that chart Frosty posted

 Looks bitterly cold but mainly dry for most of the Midlands next week (based on Met Office forecast for area and Net Weather local forecast). Surprised not more shower activity isn’t showing up yet given very low uppers, instability and strength of the Easterly wind.

Do peeps expect the above to change nearer the time or are we going to end up looking longingly eastwards as those areas get battered with snow?
