Scotland/Alba weather discussion - Jan 2021 onwards
metallikat34 replied to LomondSnowstorm's topic in Regional
Question for the group. Is anyone else surprised how little flooding there was considering the rapid melt? I checked Braid Burn and the Water of Leith today and both were certainly high, but not nearly as high as I was expecting. What gives? Perhaps the snow had a low water content? There was a considerable "fluff" factor. But I am a bit shocked that there hasn't been more widespread flooding issues. @LomondSnowstorm @101_North -

Probably! There is definitely some disagreement in model guidance on what happens at the end of next week. But this is is a bit silly. -

Did you make it up there? I decided it was a bit too cold myself! -

Snow showers generally moving from about 300º (SSW). Lines up moisture convergence nicely along the A7 and eastern edge of the Pentlands terrain. Too bad temps are above 0! This could have been a nice afternoon dumping for Edinburgh -

In a pretty decent snow shower now. Forecast seems to be breaking down a bit. Convergence zone on the western edge of the continental high is about 60 miles further west than it should be -

Fingers crossed that I wake up in a few hours to a surprise. Hoping this line moves further inland than forecast -

What software is this? Do you have your own ground station set up? -

These radar echos might be the best I’ve seen so far! Almost have a “training” feature to them. Someone is getting pasted this afternoon -

Thinking the same thing. I could pretend that I know, and I probably did at some point. But I forget now. Time to open up the old textbooks? -

Yeah, I'll be honest. I forget how to diagnose realtime areas of convergence. I need some help finding some good mesoscale operational tools in Scotland! @LomondSnowstorm -

Probably (and this is just a hypothesis) feeding off the slight increasing in surface heating from diurnal effects.
