GFS looking rather different this morning with weather over the UK dominated by troughs of low pressure swilling around for a couple of weeks. After a fine weekend, 1000 mb off Norway bringing in cold NE-lies on Mon 27th, moving to Cornwall 995 mb Thu 30th, reinforced by Atlantic LP and over N Ireland 1000 mb Mon 4th and a S-ly flow, and finally to Holland 1000mb Sun 10th with the NE-lies back again.
BBC last night also emphasised LP and the resurgence of the jetstream, but brought the LP up from the S on the 27th/28th with some heavy rain for the S, supported by FAX charts in which the NE-lies only affect Scotland.
ECM (yesterday's 12z at this time) also likes the idea of LP but moves it smartly to the Atlantic on Tue 28th, and has a deep depression 975 mb travelling across Scotland Fri/Sat 1/2nd and NE-lies at that time instead.
GEFS for the S has temps above norm until Mon 27th, below until Sat 2nd (much below, says the MetO), big divergences therafter both above and below norm; also more rain than previously forecast 1st-5th. Temp profile for Scotland similar, but rain a couple of days later and less of it. Rain throughout for far N (Inverness) and some wild outlier rainfall spikes for W of England/Wales.
The general idea is the same for different models but the devil is in the detail - keep watching!
