Outlook for the following week with moderate confidence is for an easterly

of
rain, sleet and hill snow with strong winds spreading north into southern
areas.

Well, Will, that's made a pleasant and surprising read. I didn't expect to
see the high confidence of an Easterly, albeit in the South, for week 1,
never mind the moderate confidence of an easterly in week 2.

I have to admit I am/was leaning toward the scenario where the Low off
Newfoundland comes through eventually and pushes the Western High to the S
of Ireland, giving us a spell of the ould sw-rlies! I realise some models
are all over the place - I'm probably influenced by the "wrong" ones...and
I'm a crap forecaster!

Thanks again for the update and fair dues to you for admitting to the less
than accurate forecast last week. You do rank as one of the more credible
forecasters and this goes to prove you are not infallible just like the rest
of us mere mortals!!

Joe.
