Definitely a Newcastle northwards event.

I'm not so sure mate, plenty developing on the back end.

Can anyone shed some light on this ? When I look at the 12z uppers from Sunday onwards look to be quite severe for the north east. I’d also expect quite a lot of activity from the North Sea in the stuff easterly breeze. In anticipation I have had a look at the met office forecast for Stockton on tees and it shows mainly light sleet showers ? How can that possibly be right ? Which model is producing that output ?

Snow is notoriously hard to predict more than a day in advance mate I wouldn't worry. I would imagine any showers that do pop up in the north sea would have the chance to be thundery.

[Model output discussion - deep cold inbound?]

Will we continue to see the cold uppers extended further across the ensembles? I hope and think so! The mild uppers been getting pushed back day by day.
