The 18z still shows a tend to something milder as per yesterdays comments, PPN Spikes around the 04th then something more workable temps in the high teens further west you go.

East coast looks like  it will be plagued by cloud  reducing the temps slightly

"East Coast looks like it will be plagued with cloud"- just like the whole of March then. Truly the worst place to be in the UK currently.

Tiny changes could make so much difference. The Met Office shows this deepening little low going into Northern France tomorrow, whereas ECFMG shows it tracking along pretty much the M4 corridor. That's going to make so much difference to the wind we get here on the south coast! Faites vos jeux...

Next week looks kinda messy now... not bad perhaps in my back yard, but I'm not really sure...

To sum up then:

Rest of this week looking miserable. A couple of dry but still cloudy days at the turn of the week before a trough brings more wet weather on Tuesday. Following that, the potential for sunnier weather in the mid-teens or even high teens leading up to Easter looks like a real possibility and to be honest would be amazing to come off given how hard it has been to achieve good weather so far this spring.

GFS consistently toying with the idea of a northerly in FI, potentially to come around the 12th. Nothing much would come of that so late in the season

I dont like this, at all. High pressure ridging just West of us, linking with the strong high over Greenland. Low pressure to our far Northeast, this smacks of a surface flow from the northeasterly quadrant.. although itll be predominantly dry, itll be cool too, with Eastern and Central areas prone to that dreadful low grey Northsea cloud.

This isnt what we want to see in April..

Likewise the high pressure anomoly and temperature anomoly are uninspiring on CFSv2 - usual caveats regarding CFS and using anomolies apply.

A high level of Shannon entropy even into early next week. Very difficult forecasting any detail ahead by next week.

We've got an ECM para this morning, here it is, not very different from the op as far as day 7:

It seems like a difficult forecast for any given place from Tuesday next week, until we know more about what happens when that big LP system meets the fledgling ridge. I'm hoping that the second burst of ridging in time for the bank holiday weekend is driven by some greater force and doesn't depend too much on what happens on Tuesday.

The latest GFS ensemble 6z puts the "Easter high", which is now passing through the day 10 sort of timeframe, further west, and that seems to bring us colder air and lower temperatures:

The link with Greenland and resulting northerly/northeasterly seems to have disappeared pretty much.

Based on their written forecasts over the last few days, the Met Office have seemed to know all along that my "Tuesday blip" was going to be a little bit more than that, so well done to them...

The GFS wants to bring us back to dry land before very long though, so there's hope...

The GFS ensemble still has @Eagle Eye's UK-Scandi high forming in time for Easter:

Less of an easterly influence on tights ecm, more of an Atlatic flow, nothing dramatic but a swing around between who gets the more sunshine between western and eastern areas with the latter fairing much better than was looking likely yesterday.

It goes the right way in FI too, though I was more comfortable when we were seeing charts without that intimidating trough to the west. But maybe we need it there to get the warmth?

For interest, on the UKMO 12z run, what's shown on the very last frame is as far east as any rain manages to get after Saturday:

Evening all 🙂

Once again we see evidence tonight of the pattern change to the south as the heights which have dominated the winter over Iberia are replaced by the trough extending north from Africa. This pushes heights to the north over the British Isles and promotes east or southeasterly flows.

Not unusual for spring in response to a slow Atlantic. It often leads to another chilly spell in mid April as we can get a north easterly which while not wintry would take the edge off the spring.

The Z500s don't look particularly exciting for warmth next week, but seeing as it will be April, still/dry and sunny conditions can whack up the temperature quite sharpish compared with the winter months, so long as there's not too much long-drawn easterly influence.

Am I the first person to suggest we might see a 20C by Easter if anything like the ECM op verifies?

They model is putting raw 18C maxes out towards the west country at times, which could definitely be upgraded to a 20C...

Once the frontal/low features have cleared the UK then prospects for eastern parts of England and Scotland don't look promising in terms of sunshine and temperatures. It is that time of year when an flow at low level off the North Sea can spell gloom and a cold feel. I suspect that will be what develops during this week.

The surface high and its upper ridge look likely to settle down probably somewhere in the N Sea.
