I can't see any RaCy over us in the coming days just an earlier autum storm moving across the UK. Certainly windy and worthy of the warnings in a generally unsettled outlook in the short term (with signs of something a good deal more settled in the medium to longer term).
Yup the progged dryer interlude is still there in both the GFS and ECM mid-term. GFS seems rather keener on this being something of a pattern change for the UK at least and keeps HP influencing us for quite a while. ECM less keen and the t240 chart suggests another autumnal spell to me.
850s aren't all that high for the time of year (initially at least, the GFS toys with some warmer but not too warm 850s) so one thing to watch for in the settled interlude/spell is some cold night time temps to go with what will hopefully be some pleasant autumn sunshine.
Given the expected hurricane wandering up the east coast of the US I suspect FI will be even more useless than usual until they resolve where that ends up and where the energy goes etc.
As an OT aside this has certainly been an unusually autumnal start to September here - generally we rarely see properly wet and windy stuff until the last third of the month or even early October.
