Here is a summary of the latest NWP output for noon on Friday. Issued 0517z,
5 June 06.

The models still show a generally settled and warm start to the weekend with
a risk of low pressure moving up from the south for Sunday. The models
differ greatly regarding its track though, so as ever more runs are needed.

ECMWF: http://217.160.75.104/pics/Recm1201.gif
SE'lies cover the UK with low pressure over Biscay and a high to the east.
The low fills over France at T+144, leading to further SE'lies for the UK.
By T+168 a ridge builds over England and Wales with light winds there and
southerlies elsewhere.

MetO: http://217.160.75.104/pics/Rukm1201.gif
High pressure covers the North Sea with a ridge over the UK. Winds are
easterlies and SE'lies over England, Wales and Northern Ireland with
SSE'lies for Scotland.

GFS: http://217.160.75.104/pics/Rtavn1201.png
GFS, like ECM, shows a high to the east and a low over Biscay with SE'lies
for all. The low moves over the English Channel at T+144 with further
SE'lies. By T+168 the low fills over the North Sea with a mixture of
westerlies and SW'lies for the UK.

east. There's little change at T+144.
