[manutdmatt1986]

the PPN over East Essex is moving WSW-

one to keep an eye on...

Yep, quite a big blob in the North Sea near east Anglia moving toward North Kent.

this is a radar pic of the PPN out in the north sea I wonder if it will get to us.

[leemondo]

Totally agree, out of interest where is the ignore button?

Let the radar watching commence! Those showers in the north sea look like our best chance tonight.

[Mike Storm]

^^ looks good I was in maidstone earlier well Hunton to be precise and it lightly snowed for an hour looked like a small streamer on the radar

[throwoff]

Gone to 95% chance for gillingham in the last 10 mins!

[Snow Queen one]

It looks to me that it is heavier than the snow on the front and if we can get this into our area overnight and get a covering then we do stand a bit of a chance of the front staying as snow because the cold will moderate the warm sector to a certain extent. what do more experienced posters think

[MarkQPR]

Apologies if this has been covered, but is there an issue with the NW V6 radar at the mo?

Changed to that here too, not sure those showers will reach croydon though.

It's looking good for most of Kent, looks like the MO warnings for Kent are looking spot on, as you said hopefully it will aid the likelihood of snow via the front tomorrow. Looks like tonight could trump many accumulations via the front anyway!

How's the warm sector being modelled by the ECMWF? To me it looks like we may be in the game with those 850's!

[Tim Bland]

Latest ECM should give us some hope in the west of the region with everyone under sub -5c air tomorrow lunchtime

[Met4Cast]

Check the Net Weather euro radar

[SHM040519]

WOW the radar looking impressive...keep up that intensity, if anything, will get intenser from warm sea...

[lottiekent]

Big North Sea blob incoming!

[Snowy782]

Just coming in to ask, is tomorrow back to a all snow event, according to the ecm, or is it still partially rain?

[WillinGlossop]

Aiding the front tomorrow not sure, if we get a covering rain might be freezing on frozen surfaces. But if it can help cool the lower air might keep as sleet/wet snow? Anyones guess.....

[Thinon]

Ground temps just not cold enough at the mo. Not reminiscent of a cold spell at all

[SMU]

ECM update- some big totals for central & east kent ( & THE region if winds stay east enough)

Huzzah! We're back on blob watch. Strap yourselves in everyone

[k66yla]

I'm going to sit here and watch The Day After Tomorrow, probably the only significant amount of snow I'll see this weekend
