Here is a summary of the NWP output for noon on Thursday.
Issued 0535, 10th January 2010.

The cold spell is coming to a gradual end in the south at least, further
north it's likely to carry on for another week to 10 days. The end of the
working week will see low pressure to the south of the UK and keen easterly
winds, although by then it's unlikely to be cold enough for snow for much of
England - and where it *is* cold enough, snow is less likely as it'll be
further from the low's frontal systems. SE'lies then pick up over the
weekend, drawing relatively mild air over the UK compared to recently.

Would these winds still bring below-normal temperatures?

Close to the ground, probably. Pretty much all of France, right down as
far as Marseille, seems to be pretty cold at present.
