Here is a summary of the NWP output for 12z on Sunday.
Issued 0456z, 16th May 2007.

After a changable weekend, next week will start in much the same vein,
with scattered showers and low pressure close by. By the middle of the
week though the models split, with GFS very keen on bringing hot
conditions from the Continent over the UK. ECM shows the polar opposite
though, with zonal westerlies continuing out to day 10. As ever, more
runs are needed.

Possibly unwise to use "polar" metaphorically in a meteorological
context. It's liable to cause confusion.
