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

[Deep Snow please]

It's looking like at my location (and those with similar height) tonight/ early tomorrow is going to be a washout, as a pocket of slightly warmer uppers moves through with the precipitation. although snow could fall as the band of precipitation approaches/clears.

 

 

 

Best chance I reckon is late morning where there is a chance of catching a snow shower, with more favourable conditions of uppers at around -8 and dewpoints dropping back below freezing.

 

Just going to have to hope for one of those infamous last minute surprises.

 

It's certainly got a lot colder this afternoon so there's always hope.

 

BBC has me down for snow between 9am and 12pm tomorrow - about the worst possible time for me

Unfortunately it does look like the mild sector will come into play and it definately will if winds are veering from the North Sea, as per usual, once colder air comes back in, then most of the PPN is gone! 

 

If I was still in the NE, then I probably would not be all that excited seeing as there has been some slight westward movements of the PPN thus moving the mild sector closer to the NE.

The temperature is continuing to fall down to 4.4c at the moment still too high for snow another 1c to 1.5c and it'll be just about right

Yeah, I think you're right. It's going to be a bit of a jaffa cakeser if it turns out that way. However knowing full well that there's a ever decreasing chance of wintry mixes I've still got the radar opening and a good view off the lamppost like a muppet. Winter has truly arrived here at least. Did you relocate to study or just get sick of this place? hope you've settled in well over there either way!

I have hail does that count lol

 

Does Lancaster not fall under North West?

Neither, I moved to live with the girlfriend, unfortunately I moved to one of the worse places for snowfall but hopefully I can get compensated with some decent convective weather from any polar westerlies and of course, severe gales!

 

The temps and dew temps look good for the NE at the moment, the problem is, once that PPN arrives, the wind will veer to a more Northerly/NNE'ly which will bring higher dew temps I shall suspect therefore snowfall will be more limited to higher ground. 

 

That said, if the winds don't switch when the PPN arrive, then it may actually start as snow initially.

Some intense looking stuff incoming on latest radar.

 

[gazzac69]

its just started to snow lightly here in Westmoor

[Daniel*]

Heavy snow for some of you could give a good covering. Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

[Rollo]

I am not optimistic as to any covering being around come am. But one lives in hope.

[gazzac69]

very light snow here still, think once this heavier band reaches here it will be rain as winds appear to be coming direct from the n.e (the warmish north sea)

[Cloud 10]

First flakes of snow of the season falling here now.

[gazzac69]

just looked out again moderate snow falling, blowing in sky from west to east looking at lamp post

Bodes well for us down here then

Sideways light snow here now.

 

Radar is epic!

Yes,that big blob to the north of you

[Geordiesnow]

Radar does look good, can I move back to the NE now please! 

 

That said, I'll be surprised if it stays all as snow, winds are more than likely will veer to a more stright Northerly which will no doubt bring the risk of higher dew points and temps so could start as snow, turn to rain/sleet then perhaps back to snow on its back edge?

 

That said, if nothing else, just seeing falling snow would be a bit of a novelty factor in itself. 

[Allseasons-Si]

Yes,that big blob to the north of you is getting heavier

[gazzac69]

snow is now settling large flakes - suspect some inland regions on the eastern side may do well tonight will try and post a pic.   first snow of winter for me hurragh

Don't know what happened there lol

[AdrianHull]

Moderate "sideways" snow here now!. Snow kiting possibly in the Pennines tommorow I think!

I was thinkig the back end could be more on the wet side with the big flakes Im getting now. Temp still dropping here though!

Was just thinking more in respect that the colder air will be digging back in and it could to an extent undercut the front, looking at the weather stations in Scotland, the lower dew temps are definately returning there indicating colder drier air. 

 

If the winds stay off shore, there is a chance it could remain as all snow. 

 

I wish I was back there right now but I'll enjoy reading this thread with interest.
