Hi all. I very rarely post on this site but I read others comments a fair bit and also use the charts to make up my own mind but respect the more knowledgeable people on the site - Steve Murr, Nick Sussex, Nick F, GP, Blast from the Past, TEITS etc. Perhaps someone could comment on what I am about to suggest.
I was struggling to see where the precipitation may come from this evening - I know there have been the odd report of a few snowflakes in the air and I noticed some too but the BBC seemed quite sure there could be 1-2cm tonight and I thought from looking at the GFS 6-12 hr charts earlier today there could be a Kent Clipper/streamer (light in nature). But looking at the different radars I couldn't really see where this was coming from. However, I then looked at this website http://www.meteox.com/h.aspx?r=&jaar=-3&soort=loop1uur and it appears to show some precipitation over France/Belgium moving toward the SE Kent Coast. I live in Dymchurch. It just seems strange to me as the wind appears to be coming from an North-Easterly direction from the North Sea area yet this precipitation seems to moving from a SE direction! Perhaps someone else may comment on this.
