GENERAL SITUATION AND SYNOPSIS
21:00 UTC 03/07/2009
Pressure is still relatively high to the east, and low to the west of the UK, However, as the remnants of a weakening front - at one time marking the division between very warm Continental and cooler Atlantic air - moves over the Northern Isles, somewhat fresher and showery conditions will displace the hot and humid air eastwards.Filling low pressure will drift east over the UK later in the weekend, with a N'ly airflow developing by Tuesday as it moves away into southern Scandinavia. By midweek - with pressure building to the west - the airflow is expected to be N to NW'ly in direction.
Later next week, we may see pressure again building over the UK.
