Just found a few minutes to examine what the GFS 06z would mean for the CET, and the results are of some interest;
A rise to just over 8.4*C by Friday, after which a cold weekend drags it down to just under 8.0*C. It then varies around 7.8*C by around 0.2*C, finishing at near 7.9*C - slightly below the provisional value to the 10th!
The usual manner of caveats apply; this used raw numbers from one of the chilliest operational runs for the period that I've seen. This weekend is particularly cold, with widespread overnight frosts right down into the far south, which had not been seen away from the north on preceding runs.
