Default Polar low formations & track

Hi there,

Bearing in mind the likely position of the high pressure to the west of us,
which part of the country do you think will most likely to see the effect of
any developing polar lows during the next few days?

Thanks

David

It's not such a stupid question.
Polar lows are notoriously difficult to predict. Anything more than
24hrs out is pure guesswork. You might be able to predict a
strong northerly airsteam 5 days in advance but a polar low
embedded in it? Forget it!

.... good advice; and don't get hung-up on 'Polar Lows' either. Yes, a
well-formed circulation with comma-clouds, banding to the convection
etc., is a potentially nasty beast, but the 'ordinary' troughs swinging
southward in the flow can produce an awful lot of snow in a short time -
just (perhaps) not quite so dramatic on the satellite pictures.

Please, John, I have set my software to leave Olrac's posts uncollected.
If peeps quote the unpleasantness he injects, that rather defeats the
object.
