[Snow free zone]

GFS12z has more precipitation for saturday. Looks like inland there could be some decent coverings going by that.  Further west a mix of rain and sleet.  

 

Don't know if someone has the charts but it looks similar to the set up that bought us our white Christmas back in 2004 (i think)

I actually think the best placed for Tuesdays snow are places in the West and South of the region, Liverpool, Runcorn, Altringham.

OOOOOO I hope so!!! lol

We don't want to see anymore corrections west.

 

Seen this many time's where half our region misses out as it slides through N.Wales and down south.

Absolutely horrendous conditions now almost horizontal rain and seriously strong wind ,is anyone else getting this ????.

[Thunder Snow]

All of a sudden it's the best run since sliced bread in the MOD thread, surely couldn't have anything to do with the Westward correction bringing the S/SE into play, could it.

[Mokidugway]

[SnowLover2010]

yes I agree they seem to forget any cold spell we get the south always get the decent snow along with the east. Don't know why they bother moaning

[Mokidugway]

It's particularly bias to South East anyway ,what ever the weather !!!!!..

[chiffer]

Its a tad windy out there!

[feb1991blizzard]

OOOOOO I hope so!!! lol 

 

The only problem for you now is the GFS has had a massive SW correction one one run, I get virtually now snow (referring to next weeks event only), your still ok but it only needs another correction and you will be out of the firing line as well.

That thread is awful!

[julie253]

Yep, maybe something for Saturday but that looks marginal tbh, and the Tuesday event looks to be a non event looking at 12z!

[chiffer]

It's only one run and Tuesday is so far off in terms of this cold spell...

Weather warning for lancashire

Road users across Lancashire are being warned to check the weather and driving conditions before setting out on journeys this afternoon and this evening with a Met Office forecast of gale force winds for the North West.

High winds, including gusts of up to 70 mph in places, are forecast for between 3pm this afternoon and 11pm tonight.

The Highways Agency has issued an amber alert with drivers of high-sided vehicles and other vulnerable vehicles such as caravans and motorcycles being urged to avoid using exposed sections of motorways and other routes across the north. Gust speeds are set to be peak between 5pm and 8pm and evening commuters have been warned to check traffic and weather conditions before setting off for home.

Motorways across the county will be affected by the weather but specific locations likely to be affected by gusts later this afternoon and this evening include: M61 J9 / M65 J1 - interchange at Bamber Bridge; M65 J3-J4 - Withnell and Blackburn Interchange near Chorley; and M6 J26-J27 - M58 to Standish.

Motorists travelling south from Lancashire are warned that both Barton Bridge and the Thewell Viadcut will be badly affected.

There is more bad wether on the way.

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for snow from midnight tonight right through until midday on Saturday.

Throughout the rest of Friday there are likely to be sunny spells and scattered sleet or snow showers, these could be heavy and thundery anywhere across the county.

It will feel cold in the brisk wind and temperatures overnight tonight will drop as low as five or six degrees at the very best in towns and cities by is expected to drop to minus four or five on higher ground.

The outlook for Saturday to Monday isn’t much better with a mixture of sunny spells and scattered wintry showers, locally heavy and thundery. It will be cold, with overnight frosts and ice. Cloud will increase by Monday, perhaps with rain or snow later.

Mark Wilson, spokesman for the Met Office said: “Because we are expecting snow showers, it will be very hit and miss where it drops but on lower ground we could expect two to three centimetres in places but on higher ground there could be as much as 10cm.â€

He added that outlook into next week wasn’t much better and it will remain cold.
