After today's warmth, it's looking likely that a much cooler spell of
northerlies will afflict us. Again, once high pressure gets
established, as one will almost certainly do in the western Atlantic
over the next few days, they can be awfully difficult to shift.

Presently, there's good agreement between the ECM and the gfs that a
notherly flow will set in from the weekend and it could be still there
the following weekend. Generally dry and cool for many, is the most
likely result, but there may be rain in the east and snow showers over
the Scottish hills. Get out of the wind in the west and there's likely
to be some pleasant enough and mainly dry weather.
