From midweek onwards, an increasingly cold undercut from the frozen

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.

Any 'breakdown' from the west thereafter is fraught with uncertainty,
and will inevitably lead to the risk of further snow, before milder
air erodes the block, if indeed it does.

Have you noticed how this threat of snow has been quickly reduced
through this week, with a noticable lack of comment from the proposers?

Cold later this week disappearing with each run, except in the NE of
Scotland. Temperatures in the south may well be in double figures Fri-
Sun.

Further out, the 06z support the development of a European high at
T240. If this trend were to continue, I may be able to issue a "high
pressure in Berne" forecast for my 100th. Now that really would be
hilarious! (Just for any old friends tuning in from Netweather and
TWO!)
