Well if your surprised, and your WMC's biggest fan.....then I give up!! :lol:

Other models seemed to have the low a lot deeper across the S/SE parts of the UK and WMC did not. That's what surprised me. At one point I thought WMC model was under cooking the low only to find out that it had projected the intensity correctly.

if you look at the fax charts http://www.metbrief.com/EGRR.html

they show an easterly starting on thursday which looks dry

on friday the winds look north westerly but still cold with wintery showers

look to the noth east where a low has developed

saturday shows an easterly again with showers nearby and the air out to

the east looks cold with the 510 dam line getting fairly close

friday night could be interesting if the low showing friday morning

heads towards the south east.

i have been following the fax charts and the seem to be fairly

consistant lately.be interesting to see where the 510 dam line

ends up tomorrow when sundays chart will be showing

i do not think the cold weather has given up yet

john

fax charts still consistant with last night but still uncertain how

close this low will be to us over friday afternoon-evening.

the saturday and sunday charts look fairly cold with easterly winds

still showing.The charts do not show much precipitation but convention

could build up due to the slightly warmer sun.

overnight temperatures look very cold friday night onwards.

i will do another update on the fax charts tomorrow and hopefully they will

stay consistant.

[Guest North Sea Snow Convection]

Most likely scattered snow showers as the cold front pushes through the south east region Friday/Saturday and with the occluded front wrapping behind the low pressure, general snow showers would be to follow on. With the strength of the sun a few beefy snow showers would be good from convection bubbling up during the day (or given the easterly, Tamara visiting us all... North Sea snow convection)

She might be a bit reluctant it seems

It looks very much that the high might be too close by for snow showers. Whilst that would be ideal, I am still very pleased and grateful that the weather has settled down.

A lovely brisk, chilly and dry easterly breeze tonight and the stars still shining through a thin veil of high cloud Very happy with that

I feel like an unwanted guest at the end of a wedding party posting in this forum. The bride and groom have already left the building and the catering staff are clearing away the glasses. In the words of Elves, the snow has left the building. See you all next year.

Last nights mins were bitter it seems lookig at the temps, the SE corner wasn't quite as cold as the rest of the country but even still easily below freezing with some western parts of the zone down to -4/5C.
