To add to your weather vocabulary - gluggaveður - Icelandic for 'window weather', looks beautiful through the window but you don't want to be out in it. used by the local metO forecaster to describe today's weather.
GFS - current N'y blast first interrupted then augmented (but not so strongly) by LP from N Atlantic passing Faeroes Fri 9th. HP then in mid-Atlantic keeping weak N-ly flow going until Sun 18th before the LP over Scandi revives and deposits small centre of LP in N Sea 995 mb Wed 21st. Even as this fills, the N-ly is still in place.
GEFS - near normal temp briefly Fri 9th, then cool again and only slowly recovering almost to norm Thu 22nd - good agreement on this for most of the time. Not a lot of rain, not particularly concentrated, but increasing probability towards end. Snow row figures in N & Scotland continuing in teens and upwards until about Thu 15th. longer in far N and more snow certainly implied for N hills throughout.
ECM - plays down the mid-Atlantic HP infavour of slack pressure with occasional LPs arising here and there, but the theme of the N-ly feed continues to end of run Fri 16th (one of the better organised LPs is centred over N England on that day 990mb)
