Default Today's model interpretation (30/07/06)

Here is a summary of the latest NWP output for noon on Thursday. Issued
0537z, 30 July 06.

The models continue to show a NW'ly spell approaching with largely settled
conditions due to the ridge to the west influencing the UK.

ECMWF: http://85.214.49.20/pics/Recm1201.gif
A large area of complex low pressure lies to the east, with a ridge to the
west. Winds are NNW'lies as a result, followed by more of the same at T+144.
The ridge declines at T+168, allowing a mixture of NNW'lies and NW'lies to
affect the UK.

I wish I could understand these things. That ridge going up from the
Acores to Scandinaia is labelled HHT. What does that mean?
