Still snowing lightly .best it’s going to get I think .
Nowt along here in Haddington, although the low cloud is causing havoc with the light pollution. Thought we had a nice aurora display going but turned out to be the security lights at the giant produce shed on the road to aberlady

Got my eye on those showers working their way through fife just now. Slight southerly tilt on the last 2-3 radar returns but expecting them to probs hit Edinburgh (if they survive the trip across the forth
) Typical East Lothian. Blast it up the A1 to the Jewel and it'll be a winter wonderland.

Temps are dropping like a stone out there tonight. -2.3C here but in a very sheltered back garden. Edinburgh Airport reporting -6C on the 1850z METAR and Leuchars at -5C

A chilly 0C right now here with a low of -6C last night. Tonight/tomorrow morning looks interesting, does look like the SE borders will do well but these situations are very much dependent on nowcasting. Models always seem to struggle with shower setups. Radar/obs/METARS and probs the high res EURO4, ICON-EU and ARPEGE are the best bets

Noticed that feature in the last hour. Just assumed (hoped) it was a low that would drive the showers in a more westerly direction for the Glasgow area. Feel free post in the Scottish thread more often! We are a friendly bunch.
Agreed, always love your posts in the model thread Steve. I reckon we should name one of our gritters after you!

All things going to plan, the big blob SW of Edinburgh is gonna give Edinburgh, Lothians, Fife etc a right good dumping. 30-45mins I reckon.

Dry so far but cold. Just had a phone notification from the Met, with the yellow warning being extended eastwards. Game on say Exeter!

Big question is, will any of them make it over to the east? They seem quite determined, hopefully the hills won't stop them
Seems to be a bit of beef on them. Here’s hoping they survive the commute down the M8. Real question is if they keep going or enter their death throes at Harthill Services!
Glasgow airport reporting 2c/1c with Edinburgh at 1/-1c and Drumlabin 1c/0c

Somebody in the banter thread mentioned a Polar Low sweeping into Scotland Friday/Saturday. and just seen a southerner call northerners bitter coz the snow is going down south. pmsl yes we are all very jealous of your once in a decade 5cm of snow that we would call a dusting that we get every winter at some point.lol. crackers in there this week.
Yeah it’s going to their heads a bit. Never mind though! We’ll be enjoying our light dustings in the morning with a big bowl of cornflakes whilst they’re helicoptered off the M4
-
Not getting too excited about the next 12-24hrs. Potential for some showers bringing a dusting of snow. ARPEGE is saying aye why not, ICON-EU, GFS et al saying not a chance mate. Fri/Sat could be interesting but more runs needed. Enjoy the snow when it comes westerners!

Plymouth rain looking torrential now!

Hurrah! *pops cork*

Still flashes to the N and NE but the main show for here seems to be over. By far the best storm of the last few years, never seen so much strobe lightning in such a short space of time, lost count of the number of strikes after 5 minutes.
-
Frequent lightning here for the last 45 minutes, both IC and CG. Thunder also very loud
-
Insane light show here, numerous forked lightning, sheet lightning, gunshot thunder, heavy rain, lights flickering
-
Lights probably going to go out here soon, insane lightning and gunshot thunder
edit: lights flickering rapidly, this is absolutely mental

Edit: Gunshot thunder!!!!!!!!!

Southern sky is lighting up like a Christmas tree as I type, away off out to get a good vantage point, as soon as its close im sprinting back haha
Edit: extremely loud rumble of thunder right overhead

Quite a number of sferics in the bordes now, light show should start soon here

Some of us have seen absolutely fantastic storms tonight
So jealous! Everything seems to have happened about 5 hours later than forecast; things were meant to get going by 5 pm and then have cleared Central Scotland by midnight, but it looks like storm are still firing even near Liverpool! There's an interesting bundle of weak storms moving into the Dumfries area now. Maybe these will intensify as they move through Scotland? Not sure though as most CAPE will be gone now.check out this http://www.blitzortung.org/Webpages/index.php?lang=en&page_0=12, looking pretty active! Central Belt in the next 1-2 hours looks good! Im off to get some Coffee lol
Edit: going by the elevated storm we've just had here in east central scotland, the energy is there, as soon as this clump hits it could be fireworks

Saw a good few flashes of lightning here also, just to the NW. Attention turning to the clump of storms coming over the border now!

Quite a nice day overall, one or two rain showers coming through but nothing major. Excellent rainbow at about 1500. Variable cloud but notable increase in Cs later in the day ahead of tonight’s LP. Currently 4.8C and cloudy.
