Jetstream strongly to the south for the coming week, breaking up into meanders by the end, resuming strongly to the north in the following week, then flipping back south of the UK.
The feature of the week is the storm late Mon into Tue, 940 mb Rockall, MetO has wind warning out for all the west of the UK for Mon though I wouldn't be surprised to see this extended to Tue for the NW. Calms down quickly, small follow-on trough on Fri, then mild 1035mb high for most of week beginning 20 Jan. By the end of that week, LP and cold air rather tentatively approaching from the north, not so much of a blast as yesterday's forecast but additional troughs running across the south..
ECM similar but Monday's storm a bit further north, severe gales may be confined to NW England, Ireland & Scotland. End of run on 21 Jan has an interesting LP over N Norway with northerlies threatening to come south in our direction as the HP retrogresses more than GFS forecast.
GEFS line graphs agreed on an up-and-down temp pattern to approx 17th (but consistently below normal in Scotland), then mostly on the mild side of normal to 25th, then colder but no extremes in most runs. Rainfall matches the synoptic pattern with a drier period 20th - 25th.
Still predominantly mild on the GEFS postage stamps well out into FI
