  1. Big battle tomorrow. Frontal snow moves in from the south-west. Convective snow moves in from the south-east, and it looks like convection will take over.

    So, what will the North Sea produce? It looks like it could be quite a bit, and the machine looks like turning on tonight. Plenty for the NE to be encouraged by, as the snow seems to piling in from the east over the next 3 days, and even Cumbria should see some snow from the frontal band tomorrow, before turning bitterly cold.

    Plenty to talk about.

  2. Popped in for a wee nosy to see if there was anything falling out of that band moving north as I thought it was a false return on the radar, glad to see some snow reports from not that far south of me. I'm only a few miles from the border so keep sending it up here good.gif

    It should get interesting for anyone else who lives towards the east once the wind swings more to the east, fingers crossed for all of us smile.png

    Indeed- you've moved closer to the promise land of Conservative rule and mansions I see ;)

    Nah, hope you in the Borders get some as well, BBC forecast was very bullish for this wknd, blowing in some real convective shrs for SE Scotland and NE England on a sharp E/SE flow. Fun to come!

  3. Spamming this, sorry! Last one!

    My prediction for Yorkshire and North Lincs- the further west, the best- but the NY Moors and most of the Pennines should see lots as well. Over 5cm widespread, and a lot of convection for the east.

    This is for tomorrow. Expect Saturday and Sunday to be more fruitful for North Lincs and North Yorks/East Yorks.

    Watch the MetO and BBC forecasts/warnings though- in intense situations like this, they are vital.

  4. Red warnings are for VERY severe weather. The amber warning for your region is warranted.

    That however doesn't mean some parts are in for something special. I think southern and western parts of the region could be in for more than 15cm from 0000 Friday to 0000 Saturday- just that Wales (especially south and central) and the W Midlands/high ground in the SW look in a much better position in terms of precip intensity.

    Tomorrows precip looks light-moderate in the region because it fragments and weakens a lot as it moves east, especially through the Welsh hills/mtns.

    ECM top, GEM middle, UKMO bottom. You can see the differences. Weakest block on the EC, most northern upper low. Least encouraging ridging (stronger jet profile and more progressive).

    The UKMO is better, by far, with an identified block in there- and a strong upper low- only problem is the weaker Russian sector PV (which can be modified in time).

    GEM is a complete beaut. Southerly upper low- strong ridge profile- weak jet- strong Russian sector PV bolting up to be released into Scandi.

    Interesting differences of upper air profiles- GFS so messed up it doesn't deserve inclusion. It goes against everything- discard it.

    Signals for a N/NE'ly to end the month and bring in February increasingly likely...

    I'll do these for D5 most evenings (I'll try), to show the importance of the upper air flow.

    Tonight, it's-

    1. GEM

    2. UKMO

    3. ECM

    and remember... these are charts after this weekend's convective fun... enjoy it all, this could be very good!
