From midweek onwards, an increasingly cold undercut from the frozen
Continental reservoir across eastern Europe, will lead to 'bitter'
conditions being drawn towards us. Beware the misleadingly benign
850mb temperatures. Despite advertised temperatures I have seen, I
would anticipate values nearer 1-4C across central and eastern UK by
Friday. As the next set of fronts from the west engage this undercut,
snow threat is significant as we end the week.

From the Country Tracks forecast there was a definate flow of
continental air across eastern parts and I was surprised to see
the temperatures for Friday as being quoted as around average
for the time of year.
I'd have thought there would be at least something of a chill in the air
with a pressure chart like that.
