A bit late this morning but here goes:
16-dayer ~ rather cold week 1, warn mong up week 2 but not a lot, still some menacing very cold stuff to the NE. Dry, UK sandwisheced between two blocks of rain, one near Shetland, one over the Alps and Italy
GFS - current N-ly blast as forecast, new LP arising nr Iceland Fri 9th and moving to N Sea to keep N-lies going; HP then takes up station off W Ireland to Sat 17th so N-ly still present but weaker; then W/NW pattern with LPs tracking across Scotand through to Wed 21st
GEFS - current dip in temps as expected but back close to norm Fri 9th before a long period with temps 5-6 C below norm slowly recovering to norm Wed 21st. Not much rain in S & E, perhaps a bit more in W and towards end of run generally. Snow row figures consistently high for Inverness, occasional days here and there in the N also high.
ECM - similar to GFS but weaker HP off Ireland so manages to squeeze in an extra trough crossing the UK Wed 14th
