Southeast England and East Anglia - Weather Chat

[Hammer]

Pathetic contribution to the thread, but should we be surprised looking at your other posts.

Cold falling into place, not bone chilling of course, possibly extending, snow chances there. Not end of world.

Then again I am able to balance my thoughts without knicker wetting.

pathetic 'cold' spell

Met office latest update, chance of wintry showers tonight!

[IDO]

The problems we have are seen clearly on the latest run. The decaying initial front as it moves slowly east and the warm sector that turns it to rain:

The decaying front is actually a good thing long term, it shows the blocking cold is stronger than models are anticipating.

 

It might not bring short term snowfall but it does increases the chances of an Easterly. "Lock the cold air in, then look for snow", we haven't really got the "cold" air in, yet

This is my 1000th post

my first post was in this regional so I ought to continue to follow that tradition in here - isn't it a big number!

I'd like you thank you all- and here's hoping we get some of the white stuff and we may do

going by the radar with PPN towards Midlands delivering snow - and up north coming S still developed!

Congratulations!

It is indeed snowing in Birmingham at the moment. But whether the PPN will even reach here... Question marks.

Because we are in the wrong position the battleground is in the north sea. When the second front stalls to the west the initial front is stationary off the east cost for about 18 hours:

 

 

During that time the satellite low sits in the English Channel and it is mostly rain but eventually the colder uppers set in:

 

 

 

Probably the best chance at the moment for snow in the south is from that low at around T90 for maybe 6 hours:

Agree with this 100%. Let's get the cold In place first and then the fun and games can begin. Febuary is traditionally a time the Atlantic slows down so maybe we can get the scandi high to influence our weather a little more in the longer term. Here's hoping. Edited January 18, 2015 by shotski

Not on this run as the Azores feeds in after D6: 

 

Any UK cold shots can be fleeting so I prefer short term gain whenever theres a chance.

Look at the direction of the isobars after the slider moves through. Not saying it would last long but it's got potential. I would post a chart but im on my phone sorry.

Cloud finally cleared here at around 3.30pm to a lovely clear, crisp end to the day.

 

High today 2.7C at 1.15pm 

 

Currently -0.7C and falling quickly. Just come in from walking the dogs and the roads are already icy under foot.

[SMU]

My out side temp has just dipped to zero with clear skies...

 

The area of PPN over lincs is certainly worth keep an eye on..... Lets see what track the euro4 brings at 630 when it updates... as it will be a mere T6!!

 

IDO--- why don't you try posting with the glass half full rather than 7/8ths empty.... just a thought.

 

& I saw your post ref met office weekly forecast, maxima of 5-6 are fairly well over the top-

Still some patches of ice/frost in the shaded spots that I noticed whilst out for my afternoon walk, otherwise a wonderful sunny day with almost unbroken blue skies the gave a fantastic clear view of the sunset this evening.

[mickeyb44]

I will happily take a 1 day easterly if it delivers a streamer.

Lets hope soon that others pop into this thread and give us real good news

[Biggin]

16.50 and still light. Nice.

[mickeyb44]
