I agree - I pointed out yesterday that sea temps are near record highs, so the convective energy is much more than usual.
-
Sea temperature is 9.1 deg, close to the Jan high of 9.5, and well above the Jan average of 7.8, which could lead to a lot of convection for streamers.
-
Monday sees a quite stiff wind coming off the North Sea and a big delta between sea and air temperatures, which can give decent snowfall from Kent or Thames Streamers, depending upon the ultimate wind direction. Worth keeping a close eye on the Fax evolution to see if this emerges.

I think NE is a Kent Streamer and E is a Thames Streamer. The point of a streamer is that the wind picks up convection from the warm sea over a decent distance and then dumps it as snow further downwind. -

In my view the SE has the potential for quite a lot of snow Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The models have been consistent with SEly winds and the upper temps and dew points are sufficient and improving run by run. -

They use historic runs, and the models are upgrading the forecasts at the moment. This should cheer you up; -

There is real potential for a Kent Streamer on Monday in my view. Uppers are just about cold enough, sea is warm, winds decent. -

A real model battle underway. ECM sees it too far south (BBC use this for their forecast) whereas the GFS and ICON have it right over Sussex and Kent. -
