The Midlands - Weather Chat

[Staffordshire]

Surley only a covering, the front is too thin and moves through too fast?

[snowangel32]

So currently models are giving us transient snow events next week the devil is in the detail now as the track of the low will change from run to run. Also latest charts improve snow chances for midlanders for next weekend lets hope for even more upgrades for long term prospects. Come on you snowwwwww.

The NW snow risk maps are still showing plenty of scope for snow, not much has changed. Don't worry until the day :-)

Looks like our snow chances have downgraded a touch today looking at the latest models and beeb forecast those with elevation might do well though.

Tbh it has never looked too great in my eyes, just don't see where the PPN is going to come from, and I am usually one of the more optimistic amongst us lot

Game over then?

No way! There are several other possibilities for snow during the next week or so.

Still plenty of potential for Snow Tue/Weds ! Maybe be more showery but who cares anything is better than nothing at all

This morning the Euro4 is going for snow over Wales and hopefully them (showers) will get pushed our way on a strong westerly

 

 

The GFSP is going for the same set-up, showers Tues PM.................. Also it would be nice if this came off Wed morning

Hello Wednesday morning !!

[cheshire snow]

METO warning just isued

[Dancerwithwings]

Showers of hail, sleet and snow on Tuesday evening and overnight are likely to leave a covering of snow of 3 - 6 cm in places, especially on ground over 100 m but also locally to lower levels too. Icy patches will also form on untreated surfaces. The public should be aware of the risk of tricky driving conditions.http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/warnings/#?tab=warnings&map=Warnings&zoom=5&lon=-3.50&lat=55.50&fcTime=1421193600&regionName=wm

 

I mentioned in my recent post "lets hope for up-grades hey!" Well this from the MET OFFICE is a great start :yahoo:

Whoop whoop!

[Staffordshire]

Still not getting my hopes up too much, probably too northern anyway but we will see

[Bishop Brennan]

Although those charts look very promising, BBC Midlands Today don't seem to make much of the snow risk at all.

 

Who to believe?

It's confusing isn't it?

The MetO are showing 6 hours of snow for Knowle starting at 6pm, but other websites are just mentioning a few 'light showers'.

Place your bets!

Bish, Who to believe?.... the Met Office all day and all night   I like the sound of what your saying fizz starting at 6pm and still going at 3am http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/map/#?map=SignificantWeather&zoom=9&lon=-2.30&lat=52.70&fcTime=1421128800 Happy Days

A very windy/wet/overcast day here with some sharp showers rattling in.

 

Temp 6.4c

Dp 2.6c

WC 3.1c

Wind W/N/W 9.5mph

Avg Speed 19 mph

Gusting 46mph

Rain 1.6mm 

[Staffordshire]

Yep, holding out very little hope for tomorrow for my patch, maybe a dusting, the further south the better but from brum northwards it's not looking promising in all honesty

[Gord]

Feet on the ground here. Was a bit too far south on Boxing Day, could well end up being a bit too far north this time.

 

Forecast for here has sproadic light snow showers on and off for Tuesday night. I will place my bets for that scenario at the moment for the Black Country.
