Not a forecast I enjoy making, but there's agreement and consistency amongst the models.

Typical winter zonal weather. More wind and wet to the end of Feb. Oh joy!

If, by your own admission, you cannot predict what the weather will be like at T+240 how can you claim to have issued a forecast, let alone one that is of any use. All you appear to have said is that the Atlantic will be influencing our weather on the 27th February - not a particularly skillful prediction since about 75% of a normal winter can be categorised as a mobile westerly type.
