The medium range models are a continuing source of light entertainment. The 00z

ECMWF: Bitterly cold easterlies setting in.
GFS: Very mild SW'lies
GEM: Very strong, cold westerlies with polar maritime air

All that can reasonably deduced from that lot is that, on the basis of current
knowledge, the evolution of the weather pattern that far ahead is
unforecastable to any useful level of reliability at present. Long may that
state of affairs continue :-)

Northern Britain warning from Met Office yesterday gave 55mph maximum winds over hills and coasts. You can't call urban Leeds exposed - we have already exceeded 55mph at 300feet AMSL.
