Okaydoke. Morning update.
A bit of a mixed bag. Looking at GFS.
in Scotland, particularly northern areas away from coasts a cold day. Cold enough that any showers may well be snow.
England and Wales, showers. The further south you are in general, the more milder. Some places may not see any showers at all and it may feel more like a pleasant early spring day than anything!
Looking at UKMO
Milder than the GFS, but drier and colder. Too warm anywhere for snow really. The difference comes down to the positioning of the low pressure that looks set to dominate.
Looking at ECMWF
Again looking to mild for any showers to be snow.
So onto a brief summary for Christmas travellers.
Today: an English/Scottish divide with rain being mostly confined to north of the border. Quite a pleasant day for some. Rain starts to arrive in the sw around midnight.
Saturday: rain quickly sweeps in across the UK. Expect further road flooding. Some strong winds, perhaps in the NE of Scotland reaching severe gale later in the day.
Sunday: northern half of Scotland seeing rain or showers. Rest of the UK generally drier, but the winds will remain quite strong. Rain begins to arrive in the south that night.
Monday: wet once again in the south, but perhaps not quite as much as we've seen recently. Any strong winds calming down through the day.
