Here is a summary of the latest NWP output for noon on Sunday. Issued 0601z,
8/09/04.

The models show a potentially very wet and windy spell approaching for the
UK, with a deep low bringing unsettled weather for all.

ECMWF: http://64.246.48.81/pics/Recm1201.gif
Lows lie to the NE and west of the UK, with strong to gale force westerlies
for all. The latter low deepens to the west of Scotland at T+144, with a
continuation of westerly gales for the UK. By day 7 the low fills over the
North Sea, with strong to gale force westerlies and northerlies over the UK.

MetO: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rukm1201.html
Complex low pressure lies to the north, with centres to the NE and WNW of
the UK; there's also a centre north of Northern Ireland. Strong winds are
affecting much of the UK as a result, with westerlies for Northern Ireland,
southerlies for Scotland and SW'lies elsewhere. The winds become westerlies
and NW'lies at T+144 as the main low moves to the SW of Norway.

GFS: http://64.246.48.81/pics/Rtavn1201.gif
A deep low is located to the west of Scotland, with SW'ly gales for much of
the UK. 850hPa temperatures vary from +3C over Northern Ireland to +7C over
SW England. A secondary low crosses Ireland at T+144, leading to westerlies
and SW'lies for the UK. The winds become northerlies and westerlies at T+168
as the parent low fills near Shetland, followed by northerlies for all on
day 8 as the low moves away to the NE. A new low deepens to the SW of
Iceland on day 9, with strong SW'lies for Northern Ireland and Scotland.
Elsewhere, winds are light SW'lies and westerlies due to a weak ridge. By
day 10 the ridge and low move eastwards, with strong to gale force SW'lies
and WSW'lies across the UK.

SW'lies cover the UK as the result of low pressure to the west. 850hPa
temperatures vary from +3C over northern Scotland to +7C over southern
England. The low deepens and moves NE'wards over the North Sea at T+144,
leadning to strong northerlies and westerlies for the UK.

The Met Office forecast doesn't look too bad for the south, if not
quite the summer-like conditions that we have at present. After
Saturday there's little tendency for stagnant fronts and lows which
invariably give the worst weather in these parts.... Sunday looks good
for a day out if you don't mind it being a little cold....
