That embedded low in the northerly flow could pep up the precipitation in the flow with some heavier rain and lively showers

Indeed. There could be some lively convective action associated with that flow. Camera at the ready. 

It strikes me as early in the "the season" for heights to be extending N/NE as they are hinted at doing once again on the 06z GFS op run  

The weather is sure looking interesting this weekend, so long as any snow that may fall, down this way, has gone by the 1st of Nov as we're flying from Stanstead then!

Just looks more and more blocked' - no sign of any zonality - just look at the HP's systems that seem to keep developing across the north. 

Even out to +240 from Eastern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Scandinavia  to western Russia etc...!?

This could all change is it's well into FI but given that we have never really entered a wetter few weeks of weather this wouldn't surprise me really if this came off....? All we have had are wetter spells but nothing out of ordinary for Autumn. 

JUST FOR FUN:

LET'S HOPE THIS PATTERN OCCURS IN December AND MID-WINTER,

Hear! Hear!

Don't even mind a front-loaded winter as long as we get a repeat somewhere between Dec 2009 and Dec 2010.

Certainly some interesting possibilities being thrown up as we head into November. Also noticing some very cold air accumulating / forecast across the northern half of Scandinavia - a relatively rare phenomenon so early in the 'winter' in recent decades. If cold air gets entrenched there early on - it might be hard to shift. 

The 7-day trend from the 06z has a small area of orange over ROI elsewhere it remains below average

That implies a Scandi HP with attempted incursions from the west. ( I was going to say from the SW, but Spain and Portugal as shown as well below average).

In much of SE Europe it will warmer in a week's time compared with tomorrow and here, France, Spain etc. it will be colder.

Summers been over since late July in the N and NW 😂

Surprised to see a Scandinavian HP develop end of October:

Quite cold airmass to the east esp of Scandinavia - looks like there will be a rapid advance in snow cover for Scandinavia over the next week or so. 

Looking promising for a negative AO to continue from next weekend but will it hold on:

(We have had months of positivity...maybe months of Negativity?

Yep, think that is our lot, can’t complain though, straight into winter then bypassing autumn 

Certainly some stunning winter charts at the moment just 4 weeks to early. 

Remember we never really had a spring! since the beast bit back end of Feb into March and then into 3rd week of March once again - it was only a matter of weeks we saw temps of 18 to 20c and by 21st April we saw temperatures as high as 25c in the south!! Looks like we are going straight from summer to winter ...not the normal weeks of Autumnal wind and rain etc. It was A sunny and pleasant 18c at one point today but maxes of +8c on Saturday. 

Apocalyptic thunderstorms, a long summer heatwave and drought, completely cloudless early May bank holiday weekend, and 26C in mid October. Quite a year.

More continental that's for sure (more extreme!) and on Sat 22nd September we (many in the south of UK reached daytime maxes of +8c to +10c one day under cold rain. Can never remember it that cold in September ever before measuring a daytime maxes of only +9 or 10c - but then again in October we reached +25 or 26c in South and east...which is almost a record breaker for a warm daytime max. This weekend we may not reach +8 or 9c by day with northerly wind which is rare in October! Then we whatever happens next is anyone's guess? Will we get a scandinavian block early November or not? - time will tell? Interesting times ahead for sure.

If this occurred in December, Jan or Feb? :D

= BATTLE GROUND! AND THAT LITTLE FEATURE TO THE SOUTH WEST COULD BRING SNOW!

and if this occurred in July it we'd looking at some hot humid thundery fun.. 

what a shame it's October 

By Tuesday (if it comes off) 1040 on this chart

Also sub 528 dam air over whole of Scandinavia

Another 528 airmass heading towards Western Ireland with UK being squeezed

Not sure where this is going, but Atlantic prevailing it is not.

Temperature pattern http://www.wxmaps.org/pix/temp4 would support the Scandi/Russian high, but the rainfall suggests depressions stalling over the UK with plenty of rain http://www.wxmaps.org/pix/prec4 

NW Britain probably feel they've had enough rain but down here we need our groundwater topped up.
