Thought that the sunny morning was too good to be true!  Heavy shower here atm, but it's ahead of the main band.

Its all about the timing in my view, the later it arrives after darkness the better. Central parts of the UK must be looking good judging by how slowly the precipitation is edging Eastwards.

Yes I think I will see sleet in all honesty, just not cold enough but shall see in a couple of hours.

Ever the optimist - pessimist. Your added elevation certainly elevates your likelihood for snow above us others not deemed so lucky.

4.9C, cloud increasing and temperature dropping. In fact, had some mammatus not so long ago.

[gottolovethisweather]

Yes but it is 5.5c currently

 

And 6.0c in my frost hollow of a valley. Hopefully the heavier it becomes the lapse rates etc. will drop. A nice wintry day out there today whatever way we call it at the moment though.

I mentioned about more rain on Monday.. The MO have delivered another yellow warning for rain!

The 06Z gives an indication on rainfall totals up to Monday night, could well be beyond that by then.

 

 

Currently 9C here.

[shedhead]

Rain here and 6.7c, down from 7.6c

[Wynn D Woo]

Rain here and 6.7c, down from 7.6c

The main band is still to your west

[AWD]

Could be an interesting evening for many of us.

Snow, sleet, hail, rain, thunder & lightning all possible for a lucky few of us around the region.

It does seen to be splitting/weakening as it continues into the West Country though.

Its looking quite light and patchy now for west country looking at radar funny how it breaks up down here but intensifies over the river,  looks good for wales and midlands though

[MankyMildred]

This morning we had heavy rain, hail and a few rumbles of thunder but now we're in the clearer showery conditions behind. Temperatures have been hovering around 5C .

Heavy rain now. But the end of the front is in sight on the horizon 20 minutes more and it will be all done and sun will be back. temps up bit to 4.3

Just had some sleet!

 

Temp now 4.4c

Funny how if it were rain showers, they would intensify over the Bristol Channel yet whenever there is a sniff of anything wintry and Bristol Channel magically becomes too cold for any intensification to take place. Spit in the wind here at the moment with the temperature stuck at 4.9C.
