Mr Blowman, thanks for that constructive scientific comment.

Just looked at the 18Z progs and they look pretty zonal to me after midweek.
Mild too I might add.

Cheers,

Will.

This forecast summary is my *PERSONAL OPINION* of how the weather may
unfold
next week. I will take no responsibility whatsoever for any actions
arising from
its use. It is provided freely in the spirit of freedom and the great love
for
meteorology that I personally enjoy and wish to share freely with others.

================================================== ===============

Summary valid for Sunday 05/12/04 to Saturday 11/12/04
TOI (time of issue) Thursday 02/12/04 2100 UK local time

This summary is based on a quick appraisal of the GFS, JMA, ECMWF, UKMO,
FAX,
and ENS (NCEP ensemble) labelled charts available from the superb
http://www.wetterzentrale.de/topkarten

Confidence high that next week will gradually see a change to very
unsettled,
wet, and at times, very mild conditions in all areas. However, confidence
only
low to moderate for the details of the change, but reasonably confident of
the
sequence.

A ridge of high pressure should ensure a fine day in most places on
Sunday. Mild
in freshening west to southwest winds which will become strong in the
north.
Possibly exceptionally mild in parts of eastern England and eastern
Scotland
with temperatures perhaps reaching 14 or 15 deg C. Rain from a warm front
is
likely to spread into western Scotland and northern Ireland later in the
day.

On Monday a very deep low will be running to the north of Scotland giving
westerly gales and possibly storm force winds for a time in the northern
Isles.
Scotland and northern Ireland will have rain followed by squally showers.
Some
rain further south over England and Wales but southern Britain likely to
stay
dry, rather cloudy and mild in moderate west to southwest winds.

Tuesday looks like being another fine day in most places, but possibly
rain
spreading into western areas later. Generally mild with winds easing.

Wednesday is the day that significant rain is likely to spread into
southern
Britain from yet another Atlantic low. All other areas seeing rain too.
Turning
colder later as winds swing into the northwest bringing showers which will
possibly turn wintry over northern hills.

A fine and cold start to Thursday with more showers in places exposed to
the
northwest. Possibly a frost in sheltered southern and eastern parts.
However,
more rain is likely to spread back in from the west in strengthening
southwest
winds from another deepening Atlantic low. Turning milder again.

On Friday there is a low risk of a major storm crossing the UK. More
likely
though, is another ordinary depression followed again by a return to
colder
weather on Saturday in north to northwest winds with showers turning
wintry on
northern hills.

This then sets the scene, until at least the third week, of a generally
westerly
pattern with spells of mild, wet and windy weather followed by short
colder
northerly interludes with wintry showers over high ground. Always a risk
as well
of major storms crossing Britain with the jet stream sinking south with
time.

Cheers,

Will

Is another reputable meteorologist's forecast about to go by the wayside?

Sorry Will but your elitest attitude about a recent post may come back to
haunt you based on tonight progs!

Maybe you will think twice about your future elitest comments?
