I noticed the "Milder by Friday" was followe by a question mark.

We had spring in December methinks.

I really am a bit baffled, just watched Mr TS give the latest weekly BBC f/cast and over the w/end there is a N/S split with stupidly high temps in south and cold with wintry shwrs in the north, I live right on the dividing line so rain for most of the w/end with a Wly wind and temps of 5-7degC, however on Monday a much colder northerly airflow is set to push down the whole country for a couple of days and he said there's a chance of snow in the north...but gives temps for our region of 8-9degC...!!...how can we get 5degC with a Wly airflow from the Atlantic then 8degC in a northerly straight from Greenland...?

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Rain should clear south Monday leaving Britain with sunshine and scattered wintry showers. Thereafter, remaining fine and cold for most, but rain and hill snow may arrive across southern areas.

You are correct Michael and he did say " much uncertainty" he wasnt even 100% sure where the LP would go early this week

UK Outlook for Thursday 25 Feb 2016 to Saturday 5 Mar 2016:

Cold but sunny conditions should persist for many during Thursday, with some wintry showers in the far northeast. Thickening cloud and outbreaks of rain and hill snow will probably arrive from the west later in the day, moving slowly and erratically eastwards overnight and through Friday. The weekend then looks to be cold and unsettled overall. There will be some bright or sunny intervals but also showers or longer spells of rain in many parts, probably with some snow in the north. Winds will also strengthen at times, with a chance of gales in the south. This cold and unsettled picture looks likely to continue into March. Although milder at times in the south, temperatures will generally be below normal for the time of year with widespread overnight frosts.

UK Outlook for Sunday 6 Mar 2016 to Sunday 20 Mar 2016:

On the whole, cold and changeable conditions look to dominate through the period. Spells of wet and windy weather are likely as frontal systems push in from the Atlantic, but there should also be periods of more settled, crisp and bright conditions in-between. There will be some sleet or snow at times, either from showers in the colder outbreaks or due to frontal systems running into cold air. Temperatures will generally be below average, with widespread overnight frosts likely.

A cold update

Thanks Gav
