The Midlands Regional Weather Discussion 14/1/14 21z ------>

Meh, this week looks pants in terms of snow - again, sadly. Sorry to seem negative, but that's the reality. There's more wet than white on the way this week.

At this moment in time, I'm not expecting much for the week ahead. But things can change so quickly. Been keeping feet firmly stuck to an ever soggy ground.

 

However, the silver lining is that by the weekend, we still have the whole of February left to run. I can think of quite a few February and beyond cold spells and snow events through my lifetime. So as far as I'm concerned...haven't even considered what size nails I need for the coffin yet!

Was yesterdays big Thunderstorms not good enough for you lot? :lol: 

 

C'mon Spring, the daffs will be out here soon in Cornwall. lol

Cor yeah, best day of winter so far!...Lovely interlude to the awful winter! Shame it caused a bit of damage though. Not what was needed this winter.

In all fairness, after yesterday's surprise, I'm very happy with the weather now - something different to just the wind and rain we've had plenty of.

Coldest temp for me last night was at 2:30am, 2.3c (1014mb // 2.2mph(W))

Currently at 7.3°C (990mb // 16.8mph(W)

Hmmmm? The BBC has me down for light snow at 10pm tonight and the forecast is pretty good for a trough of snow to pass over by the look of the latest graphics?

Colder air should start pushing through now, Temp 4.5c.

8pm and 11pm for me... (CV9) :/

[conor123]

Double that here, 9.0c exactly, but rather sunny now the grots cleared.

[Dale Hay]

Mine's rising still... currently on 8.8c :/

[Adzyy]

Hope the temp drops off soon.

8.9C

[Gord]

Holding steady around 8C across most of the West Midlands as far as I can tell. But winds are now westerly...and the colder air is out there to our west. Just 2 or 3 more hours maybe before the small chance of it getting interesting?

Gusty winds and dark skies now as rain shower moves in, as I expected those last traces of -5 upper's shown on the 06z have vanished for tonight now (-5 850hPa temps and lower illegal this winter it seems :lol:) but had snow off -2 upper's before so hopefully will get some heavy precip for evaporative cooling to take place.

[WillinGlossop]

0c here cold in the gusty wind....odd looking skies.... Hopefully snowy tonight....we shall see...

[Polar Maritime]

A snow shower has just started here, sky gone every dark. Temp 2.6c Dp 1.2c.

 

Edit; that soon blew through..

[Gord]

Gusty rain showers moving in now.

[Adzyy]

It's dropped to 6.7C in the past hour so let's hope it can drop off a bit more and some showers can blow this way. Not hopeful for where I am but we shall see.

[snowangel32]

Yh heavy rain here also cant see it turning to snow though, hope i am wrong, good luck all.

[Serendipity]

Too warm for snow here, still 8 degrees!

[TonyH]

3c here in West Wales, should start dropping sharply over the Midlands soon.

[Bishop Brennan]

Hmmmm, interesting.............

I think that wet snow/sleet is more likely. In brum at least.

[ANYWEATHER]

Yes dewpoints are just about right for snow to fall even at lower ground, for a time over night with heavy enough precip, and the showers coming through look to be active. Places with some elevation such as Birmingham, look likely to see at least a few flakes of snow, don't be surprised in one or two places to see a temporary covering, in the morning!

[I remember Atlantic 252]

UKMO is so inconsistent at 144, but the 144 chart looks snowy for north of region, very cold NW winds, GFS though looks snow free for low lying areas for the whole run

[weirpig]

i think most of the midlands should see a flake or two tonight . Could be the second time this winter i see snow, which compared to some poor folk is excellent.
