South West/Central Southern England Regional Discussion 13/01/13 ---->

[NickSomerset]

Nothing here, just still and cold.. would have thought its a few hours away yet looking at 15min radar..

[Beast of Plympton]

Its -1.1c in Princetown. No snow yet but its not forecast until 9pm here.... Anyone think next friday could actually happen?

[divadee]

Is there anyway of finding the old regional threads from December 2010?

[Snow shut work]

Nice to see the rainband hitting a shield and fizzing out on its way to the south west.

I thought it may hit around 6pm and the met say 9pm......why do I disbelieve them sometimes.

Please snow for a few hours while my kids are up *preys silently*

[divadee]

1c and -2dp

sadly no, they are not part of the NW Archive any more

[Severe Siberian icy blast]

Woke this morning to watch forecast for this evening and it looked good , and now I look at radar and its completely fizzling out , saw the bbc weather and it said significant snow this evening for the midlands , but surely it has to pep up some what if its going to even reach central England?

[Andy Bown]

Na, It wont.

Tbh, 5 days ago, Last night, Today and tomorrow looks amazing. Now ... Its not much at all.

I expect Friday to fizzle away an dnothing happen.

90% my thoughts, so many people pinning their hopes on every run's snow predictions! I think Friday's potential front won't

fizzle potential wise like today's/tomorrow's but rather it won't make the UK as it'll be beaten off by the HIGH block.

It wouldn't surprise me if more parts of our region get snow in an unexpected form this week rather than what's shown on the charts,

perhaps from showers moving in on troughs on the ENE flow from Tuesday/Wednesday.

Interestingly, that's what the GEM model suggests and is a very possible scenario. Whilst this wouldn't give us the blizzards the other models suggest, this would prolong the cold throughout the weekend, so not a bad option at all either.

I'm sure most on here would prefer to see the most commonly shown outcome to be the high blocking anything then a surprise when the front edges in enough to give snow rather than snow being the shown outcome then the front go to far east and it turn to rain afterwards.

[iowpompeylee]

Really ??? Lol hope so :-)

[dancing daisy]

0c Temp

-1c dewpoint.

Bring it on!

[Sainsbo]

Temp is 0.9C and falling.

DP is -1.2C and rising, as to be expected as the front gets closer. I just hope it stays low enough to give us that white stuff.

Looking better for somerset than midlands at the moment

I was thinking similar but then I forgot there is the little issue of the welch mountains...

[dec10snow]

Really? What've you based that on?

[AWD]

You can guarantee tomorrow's rain front won't guzzle out. That will have no problem getting past the Welsh hills! :p

[latitude]

1.9 here in Yatton.

Looks like its going to be a rainy mix around the North Somerset coast, before turning more to snow as it moves inland of the Bristol Channel.

Thats just going by the radar and IMBY

I'm now being predicted absolutely zilch overnight, by the met and the beeb, do you think they expect it to fizzle out?

[karlos1983]

Massive ECM tonight, would really want to see agreement with the UKMO to 120, or similar

[AWD]

Look at the scatter on the short ens suite for the West Country;

Anything there from the Atlantic taking over as soon as Wednesday to the cold continuing right through the weekend and into next week.

Either way, cold at the surface for the foreseeable;
