Don’t reply a lot on here. But the charts at the moment are loaded with potential. Much better than the mild dross that has been served up in December’s past.
Current red warning is sensible and warranted given the population in these areas. However, I feel a statement from the on duty chief forecaster accompanying this warning would help to explain current thinking and what to expect going forward warning wise for rest of the UK.
In other words, after milder temperatures move in from the west we could see another cold shot from the East. Or we could have HP close to the UK providing chiller, but drier weather depending on the position of the higher pressure.
Para GFS a little different this morning. Has HP building over the UK a week today and easterly feed getting cut off..A variation of a theme and waaay too far out to be concerned about..
