Why was #StormCorrie so unusual?
This weekend it’s a split between polar-maritime and subtropical maritime air with heavy snow showers piling into the Highlands aboard a strong to gale force NW wind.

Temps should rebound back to between 9-12C UK-wide Monday afternoon within the warm sector.
Colder mid/late week with Northerly blast?
Behind the cold front, another polar-maritime looks to push east and eventually south over the UK Tuesday-Wednesday on with possibly a northerly to end the workweek.
