Not good news for all you cold weather fans.
Moscow this morning plus 2,most of Finland above freezing and wet in the
south,
All eyes are now on Will and his wintery outbreak off the Atlantic next
weekend,Scotland may cop it but it is very rare for southern Britain to
experience much from such a setup.
Once again the Scan. High goes into hiding until it's very unwelcome
presence in the Spring.
All eyes are on you now Will....

Sunday/Monday look to be the chilliest on the latest progs, but I doubt
I'll see any more than sleet/snow pellets here on low ground in NI.

Scandinavian High often gives beautiful weather in Spring.

Having played [at] cricket at 6pm on a dull, numbingly cold day in
mid-summer with heavy drizzle being driven across the ground by a strong
west wind, I'd've preferred a SE zephyr on a sunny evening in May when the
temperature had been in the mid-twenties. Admittedly, the temperature can
drop a bit quickly during the evening and a sweater might have been needed
but I wouldn't have minded that.

If you truly mean a Siberian High, ie centred somewhere to the east of
the Urals, than that's unlikely to produce easterlies across the UK.

What is interesting is the transition of the UK from the warm side of
the jet to the colder side in the ECMWF progs, although too far ahead
to be relied upon it hints at something more persistent again after
the expected jet development off the Eastern seaboard of the States
and its steady propagation Eastwards. If the pushes of cold air remain
south of east we may have a period of interesting weather.
