At last, some unsettled weather is due to affect both the UK and Ireland all through next week. First of all here's the forecast for the period by Michael Fish on Netweather.tv. I see that Michael has now been doing the GMTV forecasts this week which is great to see, today was the anniversary of the major storm which hit the UK in the 80's and he addressed it on TV this morning.

GFS is showing some weak instability with these systems later in the week, especially over the Republic of Ireland where the Jet Stream will be located, there could just be a chance of a tornado there if any convection can get going. By the weekend GFS is snowing wide spread instability in the post frontal airmass with a risk of heavy showers and perhaps the odd thunderstorm. About time too, I'm sick of this high pressure.
