Could we see 20C at the weekend?
Temperatures do look set to rise

By Simon Keeling in Wombourne, Staffs 09:00hrs  19/3/2012
Temperature: 4.3C    Weather: Sunny


There's a real possibility of temperatures breaking the 20C later this week and into the weekend.
High pressure is building north and the winds turn into the southeast. Europe is finally starting to warm up now, and some of that warmer air is going to be wafting its way northwards at the end of this week.

There is reasonable agreement from the models too that this could be the case too, the predicted maximums from the GFS are shown below.



Below are the predictions of maximum temperature from the GFS Ensemble model and you can see how these temperatures really start to rise.
