Cold Spell - General Discussion

[Eugene]

Looking like the models especially GFS were being over progressive on monday regarding the flattening of the pattern early next week, they had westerlies into the north on monday now look at GFS much more amplified and going with mine and a few other thoughts on monday calling no zonality for next week.

Sorry following my post , the main feature of this morning is the extended cold up to the South west and South east for night temps.Otherwise in the usual colder areas, min temps tend to be on the warmer side.

You can also see the milder area in the center including Paris , where we had a bit of snow and so clouds which limited the temps to fall ,

Around -6c for central Paris to -8c -10 c in suburbs this morning ( locally -11c)

Friday should see the possible first day over freezing temp locally in the suburbs!!!!!! but not certain.

Extremely likely ?

Oops yes- you're right.

[summer blizzard]

Currently -6C in Bingley and the Vale of York, hard to believe we will see freezing rain rather than snow.
