Wales Cymru Weather Discussion Part 5

[ourson]

Chance of some snowy fun evening and overnight thursday/friday folks on the GFS 12z

From the model thread and my fav American weather forecaster Mr Joe Laminate Floori

Jolaminate floori on twitter states " Major storm could blast UK in about a week with a widespread six inches or more

How about this one - An explosion at the local creamery, combined with locally cold weather conditions, could lead to a significant amount of cold and white stuff accumulating. COULD = maybe = probably not. Mr Floori is well known for his mental predictions, and he (very) occasionally comes up with the goods.

oh dear seems like doom and gloom has hit here...off to the ramp thread then

Again the met are showing the front stuck over Wales friday morning to Saturday precipation could start as snow ,who knows if it stays as snow should turn back to rain as the wind swings to a s westerly flow.

[J10]

Some decent agreement of a NW flow around day 6, ECM 00HZ looks very promising, GFS and UKMO are decent but could do with the HP further west to allow for a showery flow.

Hopefully ECM 12hz can stand firm

[Marcus_surfer]

Still yet to see a decent heavy dump of sea level snow here which we do manage at least once a year.

[TonyH]

No lying snow here this Winter at 120m well inland!

Still no sign of anything significant here with high pressure so close by and the ever present marginal uppers!

[Snowmadsam]

ECM also suggesting Northerly...fingers crossed

[andymusic]

ECM also suggesting Northerly...fingers crossed

And also suggesting snow for central/eastern Wales (sorry west) this friday and saturday!

[dyl232]

In the past fortnight, we had lying snow 3 times, unfortunately on each occasion it has thawed within 6 hours.

The last winter without any lying snow was 2007-08, and before that 1999-2000.

Fingers crossed for the potential NW next week, just wish it could a little bit further west, ECM 00Hz would do nicely!!!

Don't worry....some of us Easterners haven't seen any lying snow at all so far this "winter"

I can remember getting a good few inches of snow just after St David's Day, and it settled right down to the beach, so there's still time yet. I think it may been 2006.

All we get is wind and rain

Alpe d'Huez. Sat 11 - Sat 18 Feb. Cheers!

This should give a good taster of the great conditions out there atm. A quick look a tonights models suggests no real warm up, so temps still likely to be very cold, with sub zero temps expected throughout next week, rainfall amounts much more difficult to pinpoint atm, but loooking mostly dry at the moment.

[keithlucky]

What type of precipatation for friday Jackone in your opinion?

[andymusic]

Looks extremely marginal Kieth on the 18z - but it could go either way - once again!
