It's the Climate Forecast System operated by NCEP in the USA which,
amongst
other things, produces 12-hourly forecast charts out to 9 months ahead (I
kid
you not!) updated daily. Their current offering for midday on Christmas
Day is
a 960mb low centred NW of Scotland with strong SW'lies (probably Returning
Polar Maritime air) over the whole of the British Isles - to be treated
with
the utmost caution and cynicism :-)


Although with a resonable chance of being not too far away from
outcome, if only because that is a common winter sceanario
