And beyond to the 12th - I wonder if this the GFS out to lunch or a real
prospect?
Something's afoot! Various output suggests a small, innocuous ridge will
balloon into a whacking great high to the east or NE in a week's time.

For what it's worth, 3 of the 12 0z GFS ensemble members bring an
increasingly cool easterly drift over the UK and another one (the
operational) brings a northerly blast. If they're to be trusted, judging by
the lack of rain on the ensembles things will look quite different
synoptically in 10 to 14 days!
