WX temp summary; You may recognise this from 2 days ago - Europe as a whole still warm for the time of year with absolute values still quite high around coasts from Biscay past Spain and into the Med but not far inland. In week 2 a solid advance of cold air from the NE to the Russian border ; just to add that the cold patch over Russia is getting more intense as well as more widespread. Rain forecast also persisting; mostly based in the Atlantic including Britain, small patch in Adriatic, moving N-wards in week 2; there is however an increase in the large dry area from N Spain up to the Baltic states so it now includes England (I'm being exact, not ignoring the rest of Britain). Italics show repeated text from yesterday.
GFS Op:A collection of LPs moving from mid-Atlantic NE-wards past Scotland through to Fri 11th (945mb S of Greenland Sat 5th and 955mb S of Iceland Thu 10th are the deepest) - then a N-S block of HP with Britain on its W side with S-lies by Sun 13th. This shuffles around in the general area of Britain but by Sat 19th is still there, 1035mb in SW approaches with NW-lies setting in.
ECM: similar to GFS but the track of the LPs is closer to Scotland and the HP block takes a couple of days longer to establish.
GEFS: temps near norm and periods of rain until Thu 10th, then dry in S & E and temps up to 8C above norm by Sun 13th with good ens agreement, descending chaotically with a little rain thereafter. Never quite dry in the N & W, and less good agreement between ens members.
