A lot of the discussion on here looks at the medium and seasonal range

uncertainty from the midnight models today the depth of Saturday's
low (and associated gradients). Anything from 996mb in the ECMWF to
flabby, broad gradients in the JMA model and 1004mb. The impact of
resolution of the models being highlighted here?
