Well, it shoukd become slightly warmer. At low levels temos are reaching 8c even with pretty low uppers, so i can only see them getting warmer really. In terms of weather, i believe any breakdown of the cold will introduce more unsettled conditions.
This feature has cropped up on a couple of frames now. Too far out to say whether this will be snow and where its likely to affect. However, these small features tend to track NE and skim the SE rather than the SW.
There is snow falling and settling across the water in France. Its now 0.5c in Alderney and snow is begining to settle - albit very wet. Jersey may see some wet snow, but this is unlikely to accumulate to anymore than a slushy 1-2cm.
Local temps have fallen in Jersey over the past hour to 2c and 0.8c in Alderney, where it is now snowing but not settling. They maybe some snow in Jersey later for you.
Yes, the front currently to the South of Cornwall is weakening and pushing away. Temps in Truro are 2.8c and 2.6c in Jersey where it is either raining or sleeting. There was a period of snow in Alderney earlier where temps were 1.6c.
Indeed, but with a lack of lying snow and the strength of the sun, surface temps can actually rise quite well. This happens in tundra landscapes every spring. Will be cold nights though.
The models continue the colder weather for somewhat longer, but the threat of significant snowfall has now reduced in the outlook with temps moderating slightly next week.
Potentially, but the sea temps are not that difference to previous years. This is generally the coldest the N Sea gets. Mid may will see those sea temps slowly rise.
The cold and dry theme to continue for sometime. This should moderate through April. Polar air across Iceland and N Europe normally does every year around early to Mid April as the sun strengthens. Even tundra landscapes can become locally warm in strong sun under -8 uppers.
Cornwall and S. Devon is unlikely to see any settling snowfall. However further inland - say Dartmoor, S Somerset and N Dorset may see a slight dusting. Local onshore wind and Atlantic will tempar coastal temperatures.
Any precipitation that manages to get into the SW will be largely rain or sleet. Any sweet spot for temporary snowfall would be Dartmoor come friday. Thereafter, mainly rain.
In terms of shower potential, the east wind will relax in Eastern Scotland and NE England through tomorrow therefore the showers will become fewer here. Further south acorss Yorks and Lincs it is a case of a light flow of preciptation, which will fall as sleet and snow. Any settling snow will be reserved to higher ground and inland areas. I believe the Metoffice latest warning reflects this.
