Here is a summary of the latest NWP output for noon on Monday. Issued 0613z,
4/11/04.

High pressure to the west looks like dominating our weather for the first
half of next week (at least). The UK will lie under mild air that's
travelled up and over the high, so thicknesses will be high; however patchy
frost can't be ruled out if skies are clear by night.

ECMWF: http://64.246.48.81/pics/Recm1201.gif
A large high lies to the SW of the UK with a ridge over the British Isles.
This leads to light NNW'lies, followed by NW'lies and northerlies as the
high merges with another further west on day 6. The high builds to the west
on day 7, resulting in westerlies for Scotland and ENE'lies over much of
England and Wales.

MetO: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rukm1201.html
The MetO run also shows a large high, this time to the WSW of the UK.
Scotland and Northern Ireland lie under NW'lies as a result, with NNW'lies
elsewhere. The winds become northerlies for many at T+144 as the high builds
to the west of Ireland.

WNW'lies to affect the UK.

the SW. The high moves NE'wards over Scandinavia at T+144, introducing a
NE'ly flow over England and Wales. Day 7 sees NNE'lies for all as a new high
moves eastwards, followed by more of the same for most on day 8.
