Here is a summary of the latest NWP output for noon on Friday. Issued
0556, 2 Jan 06.

In summary, the models show a battle looming for the end of the
week. High pressure is lurking to our NE and by the end of the week
it'll bring easterlies across much of the UK with somewhat chilly
air entrained. Meanwhile a low will be moving towards the UK from
the Atlantic and where the two airmasses meet a fair bit of rain is
likely (or possibly snow if the easterly brings in cold enough air
in time).

The models differ regarding the location of the battle though with
the GFS keeping it to the west (and thus the UK stays under cold
air). The Euros on the other hand bring the battle closer to home
with potentially quite a wet outlook for western areas. None of the
models show a quick breakdown though with a stalemate likely to
develop.

The situation does have the potential to be a snowy one if certain
conditions are met, but it's looking borderline at the moment as a
lot hinges on just how much cold air manages to come in from the
east. As ever, more runs are needed.


Phew, what a situation. Getting intresting.

Having to keep a VERY close eye on this one, as I'm expecting to go out on a
15 mile walk around the North York Moors on Sunday next. Possible YUK.
