Wales/Cymru Regional Weather Discussion

[A Frayed Knot]

Why on Earth as the METO not got my part of Eastern Wales on a Ice Alert ' down to -2.1 here and after the Rain we had today it is like a Ice Rink outside on the roads and also very white with frost ' not even seen a Gritter in sight ' i beg to Differ , this is how there chart should look like .

[andymusic]

rain just started after a frost - then heavier rain which has now turned to sleet

[beatpete]

caught my eye in the mod thread  from Ian F

 

The issues Sun into Mon are especially tricky. UKV generated a plastering of snow even at lower elevations across W'rn parts of the W Country (incl adjacent Bristol Channel/M5 corridor up into Wales and SW Midlands) but considered overdone. However 00z EC gives quite a few cm in pretty much same areas, but that model automatically settles all solid phase ppn. Jury out....

[Gee]

Just got to work on time in the early hours of this morning, after sliding down the pavement and scraping thick ice off the car. 

Still cant see any snow falling for tomorrow, except for maybe the prime spots above 300m such as the Brecons, nothing substantial to shout about...however, in saying that - it is only Autumn, and any flakes this year will be a bonus after last years dreary drudgery. 

[andymusic]

Monday morning has potential over Wales too from today's updates - and at the end of the run back comes a trend for December 2010 repeat - so winter appears to be reving it's starting engines

[andymusic]

Ian fergie quote from the model thread - "

Given that we have TMin ENS spread by morning of Dec 2nd ranging from +10C to -11C in the op (!!) & +10 to -6C in the new cycle, I think we can reasonably emphasise the uncertainty....!  Indeed even early next week, there's a raft of issues to resolve including threat (yet tbc) of significant snow in the W Country and Wales >ca 200m. 

NB A more coherent drop in T850 now signalled in the new cycle by end of next week... much less pronounced in the operational

After overnight hail showers - sleet this morning and now raining steadily. Currently 4.1C (2.3 apparent), 4.5mph northerly, pressure 991.8 falling. 100% overcast. Looking good for tonight if the temp drops a little.

Happy New Year Welsh winter chasers!

Arpege French model has heavy snow for large areas of Wales (no it apparently won't snow in Cardiff Jay!) for rush hour Monday morning. Not too much support elsewhere as Ian F mentioned in the MOD thread. Nevertheless a better start than most of the previous few winters. It's still officially Autumn after all.

Good Couple of cms of snow down here! At 4am it was absolutely pelting down. Starting to turn to slush now.

bbc is going for quite a bit over elevation in wales tonight and into tomorrow - so we could yet have a surprise fall
