Interesting giving that even the meto have not issued a warning even for ice, forecast to be clear tonight I thought till tomorrow afternoon/evening

Perhaps the wind stopping ice?

Im surprised at some of the posts.

 

Let me put it this way how many times have you seen showers on a mild W. My answer is plenty although obviously more scattered than further W. So my point is why should this be different because its a bitterly cold W,ly!

 

I am not suggesting widespread snow but snow showers are likely to pop up this evening and especially overnight and like I say we have already seen a snow shower this afternoon.

Won't happen

We need an E/NE for a streamer and the wind is NW/N

I do not expect a Thames Streamer since you require a ENE wind along with other variables, it can happen! anywhere perhaps not technical one, showers aligning into bands of snow, evident by EURO4 & larger snow spells moving S, It is a very cold flow, and unstable one which warrants unpredictability.

Yep.

 

As low pressure travels down North Sea, it should set up a very unstable meriodional flow with a very long sea-track direct to the SE. Just what we want!

Only problem is, the flow is rather slack.

LOL at the "I told you so" posters summing up the upcoming 7 day+ cold spell before its started.

Same old nonsense from same old posters. I can't see the point of sticking around in this forum. Very few posters seem to post with any patience or consideration.

It's all toys out of pram, knee jerk, whining

And of course the "trolls" who either post bizarre snow depth predictions and then post all negative. All very bizarre.

True post... For instance pull up the radar and look at Wales, a bunch of snow showers popped up this side of the mountains!! The flow is cold,unstable and the slightest kink or temp difference can do wonders

Patience is key, most have waited 2 years for snow I'm sure we can wait a few more days lol! Next week looks brilliant for snow! Even tonight tomorrow look okay for showers!!

I'm thinking first reasonable chance of a snow shower anywhere (as in it's possible, anywhere, lol) in the far SE is probably from tomorrow lunchtime onwards, convection-wise

And then, synoptically, it gets better for the SE as we go through the weekend into next week.

Eh? This is a blinding chart didn't even know this was about???? That would pull showers in off the north Sea???

Just heard on LBC Radio that it is 11c in London this afternoon. I think not......

LBC only updates its weather forecasts once a day lol

Granted no a Thames Streamer would not set up and actually as is passed the would go south east north but it's disturbance is this flow!! What we want

 

Maybe not quite synoptically 'right' for a Thames Streamer, but these two look suspiciously similar to a recent(ish) Thundersnow event in SE London

Alex Deakin just said on BBC News 24 forecast that even the south could get 2cm from snow showers tomorrow. Judging by the graphics there will be a real rash of snow showers from late morning onwards tomorrow heading southeastwards

The reason why snow showers are possible from a westerly even here is that the air isn't just cold is really unstable and with strong winds it really drives those showers in-land.

 

With the air so unstable it will also put us at the risk of organised bands of showers spreading south over the weekend when the winds switch to the north. Monday/Tuesday being the highlight of potential next week due to a trough running south and the possibility of a channel low.

 

I'm also optimistic but potential is there for something at long last.

Problem is, it was originally shown for Sunday.

 

I feel, much like the last two cold spells the models are going to show promise in the medium term but once it moves into the reliable the risks will dwindle.

Actually this event has always been predicted for Monday when the northerly gets established. Sunday has always looked like a typical northerly with snow showers around the coasts, penetrating into more inland areas of Norfolk and possibly Suffolk.

The Monday event  has been mentioned by myself and others over the past day or so as the GFS has been consistently modelling it.

In all of them you can see the kink in the isobars indicating a disturbances and an associated occluded front. Timing varies depending on how the system develops as it moves south. But has been consistently modelled and it is appearing on other output as well.
