Make the most of this weekend’s push of milder air from the southwest ahead of the front because temperatures will crash from 11 or 12C over Scotland down to just 2 or 3C by Wednesday as the first blast from the arctic drops south.

Take a look at the GFS projected temperatures mid afternoon Saturday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and look at how much colder it becomes. Temps are in F.

Check out the morning lows Wednesday before the mid afternoon temps above… brrr.

So, what about snowfall? The big question is availability of moisture. It’s not going to be a question of whether it’s cold enough because I believe the air will be plenty cold.

Here’s the very latest GFS 144 hour snow chart!

Yes, all areas in white, consider that as a possibility of seeing snow in the air. The blue, well perhaps a covering!

Here’s the 168 hr

Let’s not forget our friends on mainland Europe.

Yes, WOW! Snow is plentiful all the way to northern Spain.

Check out the GFS jet stream position at 132 hours. Classic -NAO..

As for the ECMWF 500mb/850 temps.
