Suddenly it's snowing heavily in caernarfon... That was a shock

A nice little blob on the radar!

I'm in Bangor during the day, and its been cloudy here all morning with the odd grain / rain /sleet, and just had that shower that's over c'fon now. But we are on the edge of it, so it wasn't too heavy. It started off as rain/sleet. Cleared away now.

Still a bit of cloud on the satellite, and one or two very small echoes on the 10.30 radar so wouldn't rule out another shower or two developing ofshore from the N coast.

I think we're too far west in Wales. Midlands will get the most of it. 12z should nail it down to yay or nay.

Nah it will shift 100 miles west at 06h and they will be gutted!

Inland with elevation required I'd imagine though. Seems further west anyway!

As tomorrow evening progresses and dew points start to drop, there is a chance the rain could turn to snow at lower levels briefly, however I think by the time the colder air digs in and dew points drop enough the precipitation will be gone.

Been a cold almost ice day here in Aber, frost remaining on grass and roofs in the shade and puddles remaining frozen all day! Been a lush crisp clear winters day! If only there was some snow!

EURO4.  06Hz and 12hz, what a difference.

At least for some. Who knows which one will be closest.

 

However still no warnings out for Wales [and given earlier charts who could blame them. ]

 

At this rate it could stall over Ireland (not likely admittedly)

 

Cold here overnight with temps of -4c, and the grass is still frozen in the shade, first time this has happened this winter

 

(maybe the only time) :rofl:

The Euro 4 is quite interesting for N/C/E Wales it brings the front in overnight when dew points are lower these higher towards the south and west where rain seems more likely and quite heavy to.

 

Comparing the 06z to 12Z the feature seems to be digging further south on the 12z with slower progression eastwards.

There will be some changing to the snow areas, as models fine tune the positioning of this occluded front but a few CM's possible especially in N and E Wales.

EURO4 is also forecasting heavy snow is forecast for Carmarthenshire in the early hours. as shown above, with accumulating snow forecast down into Coastal areas. 

 

So all bets are off !!!!!

Dew points are too high for snow in the southwest. Rain is more than likely

Currently -0.8°C here. Dew point -1.6°C.

Are we under cloud or not?

The problem is we don't know  the dew point in the middle of the snow band, considering temps in that areas are forecast 0-2c. with DP 1c on the coast, likely to be below freeing inland. A major flaw of what what we see on EURO4 is that Dew point modelling is less detailed than the previous NAE model.

 

if this 06Hz run came off, very low chance of snow, if this came off very decent chance of snow.

 

I am just posting the charts as they came out, and highlighting that nothing is nailed.

 

Personally I am not optimistic of the 12Hz coming off in the slightest.

The all important wind direction is the key for snow in setups like this a cold SSE-ly shows up later tomorrow SSE isn`t brilliant,SE is very good if it turns E/SE.

Need the east and not any SW wind to creep in useless with something like this system coming in.

And another model which shows a different outcome, to highlight my original point that nothing is set in stone.

 

This is from the NMM model which goes for more of a North East split.

Have a look :) 

It looks cloudy here but probably still high level hence its -2c and frosty.
