Default The outlook for the south?

Looking at the charts I have to agree with Will that it doesn't look
much more a day or so of cold winds. The 'clipper' low for Sunday looks
like holding back the advance of the 528 air for S. Wales and the south
of England. Then the N or NNW'lys come across water of 10C. So could be
down to single figures by then, albeit the sun is getting stronger. But
then several models, most notably the GFS develops a more pronounced low
in the North Sea which has the effect of backing the winds into the west
for southern parts - again off 10- 11C water.

It's possible I suppose that by the end of the week the wind my back to
the SE, but will the near continent be that cold by then to affect the
encroaching depressions?

So altogether, not holding out much hope for the south - but as a snow
lover I will be pleasantly surprised if something white does appear!
