Here is a summary of the latest NWP output for noon (GMT) on Sunday. Issued
0438z, 23rd April 2008.

The start of next week looks like seeing unsettled and cooler weather move
across the UK from the west. It could well become quite windy for a time as
low pressure crosses part of the UK, although the exact track is uncertain
at present.

ECMWF: http://85.214.49.20/wz/pics/Recm1201.gif
A secondary low lies to the east and a trough covers eastern England. Winds
are a mixture of WSW'lies and SW'lies for most. SW'lies affect all areas on
day 6 as a trough approaches from the west and on day 7 the winds become
stronger SW'lies over much of the UK as low pressure moves over northern
Scotland.

MetO: http://expert.weatheronline.co.uk/da...ukmo/pslv.html
MetO has SW'lies for all with a trough to the west. On day 6 WSW'lies affect
all area due to low pressure to the NW.

GFS: http://85.214.49.20/wz/pics/Rtavn1201.png
A trough covers the UK, leading to SW'lies in advance and westerlies and
WNW'lies following behind. Low pressure moves over Wales on day 6, wi6h a
trough over England and a col over Scotland. By day 7 the low deepens to the
east with NNW'lies and NW'lies over the UK as a result.

GEM: http://expert.weatheronline.co.uk/da.../gem/pslv.html
The Canadian run brings WSW'lies for all with a low to the NNW.

JMA: http://85.214.49.20/pics/Rjma1201.gif
