ECMWF and UKMO model outputs, 1200 25th Jan
 

The 1200 25th Jan model outputs look quite interesting at their furthest
range, that is 6 days time for the UKMO (next Monday) and 7 days time
for the ECMWF. The deep depression located south of Spitzbergen at T+120
tracks SSE across Scandinavia and the Baltic and into Poland, gradually
filling. The UKMO brings down quite a northerly blast on this low's
western flank, assisted by the elongation northwards of the high to the
west of us. As that low passes, there seems to be just a possibility
that the Russian high and the one just to the west of us might link up
on its northern flank.

Possibly that's pie in the sky, but at least there seems no immediate
prospect of a return to the boring zonality that we've endured through
the first three weeks of January.
