Summary valid for Sunday 09/04/06 to Saturday 15/04/06/
TOI (time of issue) Thursday 06/04/06 0930 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

High confidence for some more rain in the north next week but a lot of dry
weather in the south. Increasing confidence for a mainly dry Easter but with
frost at night.

On Sunday a cold northerly airflow with moderate to fresh winds will continue to
bring showers into northern and western areas. Showers wintry over hills with
hail at low levels. More sunshine further west, especially in the SW where winds
will be lighter. Another frost on Sunday night.

On Monday wintry showers in the SE will die out and then all areas will become
mainly dry with lighter winds and spells of sunshine. Temperatures around
normal. Another frost in the south on Monday night but westerly winds will
freshen in the north raising temperatures.

On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday a deep low near Iceland will move slowly east
to the north of Britain, bringing rain followed by showers in fresh to strong
westerly winds, later veering northwesterly on Thursday turning the showers
wintry again in the north. However, southern Britain is likely to see little in
the way of rain and will stay mainly dry in this period with spells of sunshine.
Rather warm in the south with temperatures near normal in the north. Frost
returning in the north on Thursday night.

The outlook for the Easter weekend is for an anticyclone to edge in from the
west bringing light winds and spells of sunshine. Some showers likely in the
east on Friday. Temperatures around normal but with a risk of frost at night.
Moderate confidence.

Will (Chief Forecaster USW).
