On a separate note I note that GFS once again intensifies the Scandi
high earlier bringing sub 850 hPa -5C into southern Britain off the
continent as early as next Thursday with light sleet/snow showers into
the SE and parts of Devon/Cornwall exposed to the E-SE wind.

Fascinating weather!

Although the low has done it's intensification to the west of the UK, there
is still quite a gradient there isn't there on the S/SW flank. T+48 GFS has
80 knots at 925mb just to the west of North Devon.

It's a good "weather" time at the moment - because of work I've been
concentrating on Sunday's low pressure and hadn't really paid much
attention to the forthcoming possible easterly !


The main event is definitely Sunday's low. there may be a sting in the tail too
as the low moves into the North Sea late Sunday into Monday. The pressure rise
in the following confluent ridge could be quite strong and may possibly increase
the gradient temporarily to give SE Britain a bit of a blow! Lower confidence in
this aspect though.
