According to the radar it should be already raining there.

The forecast for bacup on the meto shows heavy snow here at 8pm, fingers crossed but may have to dig our the drive tomorrow if that happens so mother can go home!!

[karyo]

The band is already moving into west midlands and central southern England but it appears to be breaking before reaching northwest England. That's the drying effect of North Wales for us!

 

Our only hope is the more intense line of precipitation from east Ireland to northwest Wales which might just slide to the south of our region.

 

Overall, the band looks weaker than it did a few hours ago so not a good trend.

Looking out towards the river the skies are getting darker. Spots of rain on and off. Not as cold as yesterday.

saw dark clouds coming in to the west. Fingers and toes crossed!!

[Mokidugway]

Nothing happening here .....

[toggerob]

GFS doesn't have the rain/snow transition until past 3pm which I suspect is when daylight temps begin to drop off after sunset, and the 50/50 odds become more favorable for snow.
