@NNweather Posted January 30, 2015 Location: Northampton Location: Northampton Share Posted January 30, 2015 Patchy cloud here in Northampton. Temp via the MO site at Moulton Park is 2.3c with DP 0.7c. Not sure if we will reach the 5c forecast high this afternoon. Overnight snowfall is steadily melting away.

shotski Posted January 30, 2015 Location: Linslade, Beds Weather Preferences: Deep cold Location: Linslade, Beds Share Posted January 30, 2015 I think without high latitude blocking you couldn't really get a better set up than we have at the moment, and that makes it all the more disappointing . I hope we get some surprises pop up next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pureasthedriven Posted January 30, 2015 Location: Horley, near Gatwick Location: Horley, near Gatwick Share Posted January 30, 2015 The arctic airmass, by this time already firmly established across the UK, will continue to bring frequent and heavy snow showers to eastern parts of the UK. During Tuesday, a subtle change in wind direction will allow showers to spread further inland, with snow showers possibly falling quite widely across northern England (east of the Pennines), along with the Midlands and parts of southeast England. The airmass is sufficiently cold for snow showers to accumulate at low-levels and some locally heavy falls are possible. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted January 30, 2015 Location: Longden, Shropshire Location: Longden, Shropshire Share Posted January 30, 2015 Temperature gone down to 0c from +1c once the skies cleared. DP -1c as of 12:20. No idea where the 6,7 and 8's have gone but good reddens I say! Nice for temperatures to be lower than expected for once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warrenb Posted January 30, 2015 Location: Tonbridge, Kent Location: Tonbridge, Kent Share Posted January 30, 2015 Looking at the temperatures across the country and dew points I would say the warmer upper air drifting more down the western side. Bodes well for later tonight and tomorrow, where the colder uppers reestablish or become colder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowblizzard Posted January 30, 2015 Location: Tonbridge Kent Location: Tonbridge Kent Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Arctic air mass rarely any good for SE BBC forecasts now saying only a 'little colder' over the weekend! Temps still rising to 5/6c Sunday & Monday Mostly dry, perhaps a few sleet showers As said, probably the best we can really hope for without any HLB Disappointing!

Popular Post Paul Posted January 30, 2015 Location: Aviemore Location: Aviemore Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2015 I think those going round in circles dissecting forecasts from different forecasters (or the same ones at different times) are just going to tie themselves in knots here. You're in the SE of England, so clearly northerlies aren't the ultimate for snow and real cold, but it's cold enough (in the main), and there is a risk of some snow. That should really be enough - no matter how many times you read a forecast that's a variation on the theme, it's not going to change - so perhaps relax a tad and see what happens rather than continually going through this whole weather angst thing? 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the weather warning put out by the Met Office for Tuesday, although it barely grazes SE England. It might, perhaps, be an indication that they expect the wind to be slightly east of north by then, as the warning is not replicated for western coasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Shortwave Posted January 30, 2015 Location: Peterborough Weather Preferences: Snow and frost in the winter. Hot and sunny, thunderstorms in the summer. Location: Peterborough Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Will just be at best sleet and even if we get a few snow showers i can't see it settling The same was said of yesterday, in the end quite a few areas got some decent snowfall. Once the colder air moves down through Saturday the showers will generally turn back to snow. To flip things, the weather here at the moment is pretty poor. Solid stratus and occasional light bursts of rain. I would prefer a thaw to be driven by sunny skies rather than it being damp and grey.

cobbett Posted January 30, 2015 Location: Wyck Nr Alton- Hants Location: Wyck Nr Alton- Hants Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) ^^ yep take your point CS so here's hoping - just getting a bit negative over this cold spell tbh. Think the best snow prospects for the southern counties is when/if the atlantic tries to get it's act together towards the end of next week - a nice battleground scenario would be perfect !

Personally I just hope we somehow get an easterly setting up during the second half of next week, that will offer the better chance of snow showers and possibly dragging up areas of snow off the continent. Hopefully the models will trend this way, they were yesterday afternoon before a step back in this mornings runs. Any way I will miss the 12z suite due to work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveinsussex Posted January 30, 2015 Location: West/East/Sussex Surrey border Location: West/East/Sussex Surrey border Share Posted January 30, 2015 Despite what some might suggest, at the moment a few fleeting showers is the best we can hope for - based on the current output. I guess we can still hope that Monday's low will track across a more favourable track bring more substantial snow to Southern areas but it is just a hope rather than reality.
