News just arrived ,latest Sat shot shows any precipitation now becoming confined to north sea out at sea as trough runs further south ,some sleet showers may clip eastern coasts later this evening  .hvy showers now falling across scotland in association with a trough originating in very cold air will move south at a fairly fast rate ,a new trough could form across northern britain later in the night ,then expected to run south or even s /west as pressure rises to our north .my neighbour only gleened this info as leaving shift ,as normal all m of 4  info probably included in 2 .30 am update from met office later regards any increase in trough developement ,

[Biggin]

I really doubt there will be any snow overnight for our region and there is nothing showing on any radar which

leads me to think otherwise - the current precipitation over Norfolk is moving SSE into the southern North Sea.

 

I certainly won't be staying up for disappointment . . . i can have that in bed x

Yikes !!!

Hahahaha! 

The ppn currently to the East of the Firth of Forth (East of Edinburgh) is what could threaten our region later on... It is currently beginning to build and chugging it's way nicely down, so it will be a few hours yet, but could also provide some unexpected ppn ahead of it.

Meanwhile it gives the temps time to drop!

Next batch is currently up near Scotland, so several hours away, not till early hours of morning.

 

Euro4 is having none of it down here

Indeed. I would rather stay dry for a while, ground drying out here as John has noted. Temps should drop.

Credit to BBC for once their forecast has been consistent. Haven't noticed a change all day with light snow forecast from 2 till 5 am in the morning so once again might wake up to a centimetre or two and temperatures look to be perfect as well. But if history is anything to go by the fact they're forecasting it is probably a bad sign! 

[Biggin]

That has to be a Northerly kickin in now, sorry workin all day.

[alexisj9]

I hope the meto are right about their warnings for east kent, I would love to have snow showers everyday till at least Wednesday.

[Hammer]

Agreed, EURO4 not keen on snow. So could be some tears in here. Bit early to say, think some 10-20 miles off coast might do ok. We shall see.

I think I read the council are going to keep the lights on at night and use LED's to save the money. Not too sure when that's starting though - I fear it won't be this year!

[sunnijim]

Meanwhile here in London the cold spell continues in a grey and unaventful way. Nothing notable for us in the SE, so another wasted winter week snow wise. They have had plenty to celebrate further North though,a real divide this winter.

There wont be any snow in Reading tonight, think that's pretty obvious.

Latest tweets from Essex weather centre...

Temps have crept up since nightfall, so most falling from the sky is currently rain. As per warning, snow to low levels after midnight.

Last of the rain, sleet and snow clearing the Essex Coast shortly, then a drier spell before the next batch arrives after 4AM Sunday.

[Great Plum]

Temperature going the right way - 2.5c - dp -0.5c

[REAVE]

I think inland areas will get snow in the early hours looks to me that a band will be further west than they have said

What's new though? Having a more northerly latitude is better in the UK for winter.. Hold tight still plenty of winter left.. Remeber the saying all good things come to those that wait
