The BBC going for a cluster of snow showers this evening, maybe even a Cheshire streamer overnight.. not much mention of it though.. thoughts?

FInally an Easterly shift on the streamer, getting some decent showers here in Newcastle Under Lyme- up to 2-3cm now.

Thats what I'm hoping for too! We're just on the edge of it all. But there is a chance overnight into tomorrow the winds will shift ever to slightly to the North West, so that might encourage the streamer to move more South Easterly. Here's hoping!

On top of what settles today/tomorrow, there could be a lot of snow around by Sunday/Monday! Amber from the MO too!

Nice streamer going just to the West of me, been dry here for a few hours with 1cm of lying snow.

Probably the Staffordshire area? Just quoting the MO

*Perhaps* the NW Midlands

Nice little occlusion following behind the main front on Thursday night, probably an area of more organised snow, then followed by a streamer event! Looking good for the Midlands!

Evidence of a decent Cheshire streamer Thursday/Friday! Can't say the GFS simulates the most reliable/accurate shower clusters, but we'll see! Ps. new to this thread!

12z gfs great synoptics, but I suspect leading us up the 'arctic path' once again. t200+ still very much in FI .

Finally looks like that horizontal front is clearing. River levels have been on the rise again this evening.. lots more rain in the forecast too!

I don't think this weekends storm will be much to talk about. It begins to fill quite far West of the UK before riding the Jet over us again. We'll see, charts are all over the place at this stage
