Incredibly low dew points for tomorrow going down to -14°C on GFS 12z!

Wouldn't be good for convection if you want wintry showers as the air will be extremely dry.

Is it usual to have such dry air coming down from the Artic. ? The track is accross the sea so i would have thought the air would have picked up some moisture , unlike a dry easterly.....

That maybe but how is it that even in the north sea the dew points get lower the further south you track the air, over the sea.  Shouldn't the reverse be the case as the air picks up more moisture over the more water that it travels? Although not in the heart of the northerly we are still in it so how is the air so dry?  I can understand that it may be the case over the uk mainland however surely there would be evaporation over the sea? I am not an expert in these matters however this baffles me....(sorry mods if this is off topic)

High pressure doesn't look that convincing here. Could easily be pulled west to allow rubbish in. The High looks even less convincing on Wetterzentrale

850s on the GEFS for London on 12z basically indicate the next couple of days of cold, then less cold for a couple more days, then slightly colder again for 2 or 3 days, then inconclusive. An unconvincing attempt at a warm up later on but it's obviously at long range so not worth too much thought yet. But, I'll take a punt and say that this April is looking like it's going to be a cool and dry one

GEFS Image won't paste in for some reason. Sorry

The GEFS 12z mean shows there’s very good support for a second Northerly from the arctic towards next weekend, the operational runs show it too...beyond that, there’s signs it could become more generally settled towards mid month...lots going on..and for some areas the next few days look very wintry by early April standards, especially exposed northern and eastern coastal areas with frequent snow and hail showers and some widespread inland frosts during the coming nights. ❄️ ☀️

I was wrong... the High Pressure holds on

Cool nights and bright days away from the far north and north west where there'll be more cloud and precipitation

The chart you used shows strong Diurnal temperatures across most of the nation.  I'm not sure you're Cool nights is the appropriate terminology in this case in all respect Subzero nights  but warm sunny days....!

The Artic plunge gets weakened down somewhat midweek , but gets renewed late week into the weekend . April showers are certainly on the cards this year , Wintry ones at that , but the overall theme remains the same drier than average but colder than average. .....!

Showing the northerly wishbone effect quite clearly, but Wales does better than expected, so maybe a westerly shift on the pattern at the last minute?

More of a NNW than a true northerly on the way for the UK itself. More progress inland for the showers on the western side by Tuesday with nice little squiggles in the isobars and a long uninterrupted sea track all the way down from the Arctic, and development of one or two more general disturbances embedded in the showery airstream. Combined with some convection inland, possibly why the ICON 18z still reckons on bringing snow showers in over a good chunk of England as well as Wales for Tuesday afternoon despite 1024mb pressure.

Looking at various output, I cannot see much in the way of convection across the British Isles, apart from Northern and Eastern parts of Scotland - grazing the East coast of England perhaps?! The majority of it stays well out in to the North sea.

Just a typical showery wishbone effect for the most part.

Yes, fair enough, I would agree, the expected convection is generally low. There is a bit more lift though across Wales late Tuesday morning which might serve to pep up the showers, if it’s enough to be a factor in helping them on their way through to the south coast (at least that’s what I was thinking!).

GFS continuing on its merry way this morning in fact offering up arguably the most below average ensemble pack I can recall for years with an unrelenting flow from the northerly quadrant. Utterly dire output.

Wow. When was the last time an ensemble graph looked like that in April. A very prolonged spell on the way I guess.

Yes the 0z ens for herts only show the mean struggling upto 0 by end of its run. No indication yet of any real warmth. Indeed snow making it down to cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire now on the weakening cold front. ..
