Storm Katie Brings Damage Leaves With Snow, Taste Of Summer From Toulouse To Stockholm Next Week?

Katie may be gone but we remain in a blustery, showery and cool regime today. Cold mid level air on the rear of Katie is allowed to drop into the lower atmosphere within the heavier convective showers.

As Katie continues to depart our vicinity, heights rise through Tuesday evening onwards allowing the atmosphere including wind to settle down. This will set the stage for a chilly, frosty night under clear skies.
