Far North Of England - Weather Chat, July 4 and on...

[doctor32]

A much colder feel to things for the rest of this week, more so at night... compared to the past few days, but temps around average actually. 

The weekend could well bring some wintry showers to higher parts as mentioned above.

Temperatures already down to within a couple of degrees of freezing tonight,so quite a widespread frost if it keeps nice and clear,and as mentioned above,some heavy showers coming in off the North sea over the weekend with a good chance of hail and thunder as well as some snow.

Hovering around 4C here which is chilly considering there's a stiff breeze.
Tomorrow looks like being a classic late Autumn day.

[Boro Snow]

Not as cold as I thought it would be last night overnight low 3.6c current temp 4.5c. Tonight we could get close to freezing though 

[Summer Sun]

Looks like the new few days will bring a mix of cold rain / showers for lower parts and for higher ground the chance of some snow

Saturday to Monday will have some strong winds from the north making it feel even colder

Daytime highs around 6c feels like temps just 1c to 3c

I was rather confident of seeing some white stuff over the tops of the Moors this weekend however the models have shifted overnight bringing a shortwave associated with the main low moving eastwards into Northern Europe closer to the east coast meaning upper 850s are around -2/3c rather than -4/5c, this would IMO be too warm for snow even at 1400ft.

However this morning reading the BBC/MetOs forecast text and also watching their latest video forecast they mention snow accumulations possible especially over the North York Moors

.

Here's the Sunday morning chart from the latest NMM showing what would be too warm upper 850s to be conducive of snowfall even at 1400ft, as from experience -4c of less is required.

Am I missing something or am I just a better forecaster than the BBC/MetO for my local area? I would love to be proven wrong but we shall see...

Well the cold feel to the weather looks likely to hang around for good couple of weeks, nothing exceptional but after the past few mild and wet winters this will be a nice change.

don't expect anything wintry (snow wise) unless you live on higher ground (pennines/moors) but you never know heading later into the month.

[Summer Sun]

Decent day today all change for tomorrow and Sunday once the cloud increases and the wind picks up

[Deep Snow please]

Is there any truth to the idea that the longer cold sticks around the more likely we are to get some low level snow?

[Summer Sun]

This strong wind is soon blowing the showers through so far 

[Cloud 10]

Plenty of sleet amongst the showers here this morning  with a stiff cold wind.

[Summer Sun]

Coldest feel in a while today not even at 5c yet wth frequent showers

as we approach the winter season, it's an appropriate time to start on new thread...locking this one shortly
