Enough of this snow nonsense, how about some baroclinic instability
for a change.

All of the (available) models coming in to line for a system for
Sunday. Credit it where it's due, this was signalled first by the GFS
on Sunday before any others - typically I wrote it off as the usual
GFS fantasy.

The direction is the interesting one for me - similar path to the
October Storm so no doubt some warm air locked into this one which can
only aid the potential for rapid cyclogenesis.

Hi Richard, an interesting beast indeed!

Developing from an unusually far south location in association with a near
record southern extension of the Atlantic upper trough. Very warm 564Dam
air entrained in a SW'ly jet streak associated with a temporary meandering
of the polar front jet. *

Does that mean that places well southeast of the low, e.g. central/
eastern France or western Germany, could be seeing some extremely
warm, close to 20C, weather in association with this?
