Was attempting to read the thread for the first time in two to three days and well, a few assumptions going on as always it seems.

A lot of posts from numerous people in here over recent days claiming bitter cold, or unseasonal warmth, what will occur around the Easter weekend will probably be the atypical Spring season setup if truth be told.

The weather will deliver what it wants to, but rarely do the charts at t+144 hours (akin to t+12,840 minutes or something like it) verify at the SURFACE anyway, so a lesson to be learned there. So, again, if one is confused as I have been, especially considering I haven't seen a long-ranger on the BBC either, I'll go for my assumption above or my best guess below.

Cloudy nearer the East coast, best of the sunshine and warmest out West. Several downpours for central, southern and eastern parts initially early to middle of the upcoming working week then drying up and becoming settled away from the far North in the run up to Easter weekend. Cloud amounts for all, UNPREDICTABLE at this range.

Best Wishes

That block to our NE has intensified on the runs today so yes a cool chilly feel to the weather over the next week or so but maybe not cold enough for the white stuff,shame this happens quiet regularly out of season

there looks to be a final warming about to take place,not unusual at this time of the year,could spring be on hold?

Yes it's a complete waste of great synoptics, the kind i was hoping for in Jan and then Feb but we ended up with a late Feb heatwave instead..still, if we are looking at strengthening blocking, we could still see winds from more SE'ly which would make a considerable difference to the surface conditions..for the better!

Better 18z - colder air further west - better orientated high and Atlantic troughing at 150.

Wouldn't get too excited, western areas are still around 0C at the weekend in terms of the 850 hPa temps on this run for the weekend, in sheltered parts of Wales and western England 13-15C would still be very possible in the afternoons in such a setup. 

Need much much colder uppers than that to get anything noteworthy this late on.

Mild air really struggling to get a foothold on the 18s, like Feb said, cold air really digging in, and if anything is forcing the milder air backwards! 

Seems to go pair shaped beyond that though.

Yes true but nothing oppressive though and certainly cool.

Not going to be warm that's for sure but shouldn't be too far away from average if GFS is correct

Don't think there will be any Thames streamers or frost fayres in mid April.

Very interesting 18z tonight, warmer air not to far away, but look to the North come end of the run, some intense cold pooling going on again, could this coincide with another warming of the strat!

One of the more significant factors regarding the UK weather over the next few days will be the variation in regional temps with the north and north east coasts very adversely effected. Illustrated here for today and tomorrow

Many parts of the country will have a fine day today but the exceptions will be north east coastal regions where low Stratus will be an issue in the cold easterly as the cold front descends down the North Sea. And it will be cloudy in the area of the warm front across central England and Wales and later the quite high temps will trigger convection with the odd storm possible along the Welsh > Midlands > East Anglia corridor

The thundery showers will continue through the night and move a tad south as well. And some rain will creep into the far south west from the occlusion associated with the low NW of Coruna

PPVG89.thumb.gif.771fc2641961eec4dad584d4d1ae072b.gifr22.thumb.png.ab1da6bc640060c215d6bc7184329cd2.pngr03.thumb.png.7511dce42a8f14468e84d1ffa1385206.pngr07.thumb.png.89e264e98849a43270c416f04b9e65d0.png

The heavy showery rain will continue to effect the south of England through Tuesday but relatively fine elsewhere, with the usual exception, but colder than of late as the cold front makes slow progress south and opening the door to colder air from the east.

Still some rain around in the south overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning as the fronts slowly clear leaving a generally fine day but colder than of late,, particularly down the eastern half of the country, with much the better weather to the west.

PPVJ89.thumb.gif.5a0c1db1d32f1d6af91e891fdb08f72d.gifPPVK89.thumb.gif.513736efac345aecb501e2b95246f507.gifgfs_t2max_c_uk2_12.thumb.png.c4162067b65215f8dfcaca846b7f5355.png

By Thursday changes are afoot upstream with a major storm crossing the Plains all of which appears to trigger amplification downstream in the Atlantic which is now dominated by various low pressure areas whilst the UK resides more or less in a col with a gently onshore easterly. Dry with temps around average but again cooler down the east coast

As the amplification continues through Friday some rapid cyclogenesis takes place along the the eastern flank of the upper trough and the left exit of the jet whilst the UK is under the auspices of the ridge. Thus dry with temp varying around the average

To continue with the gfs. Over next weekend the high cell consolidates over Scandinavia with a general area of low pressure across Europe as colder air is advected west under the former This results in the UK being dry, perhaps the odd shower in the south, with temps a tad below average but feeling a lot cooler in the stiff easterly wind in the south

gfs_z500_vort_natl_27.thumb.png.9668ff6cee456468421bcf61d29277ca.pnggfs_t2max_c_uk2_24.thumb.png.4fde94cc385ead229774e7c07b2634b2.pnggfs_t2max_c_uk2_28.thumb.png.514321313d47e8736e5bcaf0f7b9123c.png

Over the next couple of days the high cell slides a tad south east and the surface wind will veer as low pressure pushes in from the south west, So perhaps quite showery in the south and by now temps near average.

Please note

For some reason when I download the fax charts from the site I use it doesn't download the charts as indicated and downloads different ones. So art from today's the charts in my post above are the wrong time vis the texts. A compete pain

Hopefully this are the correct charts for Thursday and Friday from another site

The ecm not dissimilar next weekend. High pressure consolidated to the north east, and colder air advected west underneath with a wave away to the south west that has formed on the front trailing west of Ireland down to the Azores. Thus maybe some showery activity along the east coast otherwise dry with temps below average and feeling cold in the south east in the quite strong easterly wind. Over the next 48 hours the quite intense wave tracks north west of Ireland and the associated front pushes into N. Ireland and the south west introducing some light rain. And now, with the surface wind veering, much warmer above average temps, apart from as usual the eastern coastal areas

The GFS ends like this:image.thumb.png.3d786d5e5d4c7755f3846a65745c6c36.png

And the FV3's like this: image.thumb.png.9cee31b12eee26f366a912abb61400e9.png

So not all that great really, but the GFS does hint at something 'interesting'...?
