Enough consistency from the ECM and agreement with the gfs for this:

**At T+240, on Friday, 19th March, the weather in the UK will have an
Atlantic origin.

I was taught that at school 45 years ago. So what's new?

Pressure to our south will be high and the winds will
be mild and between south and north-west.

That's precise. Which way, clockwise or anti-clockwise from the south?

It will follow a short-
lived, colder, northerly flow which will bringing to an end the colder
weather in the east and conditions by the 19th will be warmer in most
areas of the UK than they are presently.

Good!

Any interruptions to the
Atlantic flow will be in transient ridges of high pressure and any
snow will be confined to the highest hills.

Hopefully at 1017 feet asl, which might shut Will up for a while? :-)

There will be some
pleasantly warm daytime weather in many areas in around 10 days time,
if we manage to escape any rain.**

What's rain???



I certainly have my fingers crossed for this one. Finally Spring might
arrive for many.

Well, we can live in hope. I look forward to your "foot in mouth" posting on
the 20th March. :-)

anyone judging it at outcome and if this end up as one of those
forecasts that ends up a pile of dog poo, I'll be the first to admit
it!
