Wales/Cymru Regional Weather Discussion

ECM now - got the leading front which has been over Wales.

10pm - good area of precip over SE Wales

Front is now pivoting more south than earlier expected and in earlier models runs. ECM has this for 2/3am. This was further north on earlier runs. Look how more of central southern England now in chance of widespread snowfall too. Liam Dutton tweeted about this.

Stop panicking everyone! Especially SE Wales, still looks ok.

Snizzling a bit with me now. What @Jayfromcardiff and @bradythemole say is true- it is looking better on the radar. But given what's happened so far this evening, I'm reluctant to get my hopes back up again- if the greens on the radar look like hitting us that may change of course.

Remind me again how to engage the idiot filter? 

And now we wait to see if that pivot and push north happens. Could be an interesting night of radar watching

[Bafan]

Blimey! I've got whiplash from reading these posts lol!  Still snowing heavily here, not chunky flakes though it has to be said.  guesstimate about 2cm down. 

[Jayfromcardiff]

Should get a few inches of snow from the heavier batch hopefully.

[Jayfromcardiff]

Heavy snow here again!

[Weather roller-coaster]

Would say pushing north would it pick up moisture from the Bristol channel awell .

Should do. Hopefully intensify.

[ancientsolar]

looks like its sucking up moisture from the South Coast and back building a front 
It also looks like another front is trying to build over Cardiff forming a NE front. but very weak . 

There also seems to be some false reading on the radar between the 2 fronts.. but each could hit us and that low looks like it could be centred over the Bristol Channel.. ~ which is odd

it almost seems like there's a low off the main one.. over Tiverton which seems to be gaining strength ~ someone mentioned it way earlier about the possibility of one developing. I need more data!!

Front is clearly pivoting now, heavier precip slowly heading our way.

[DeepSnow]

Snow stopped for a bit but has started again, albeit small flakes but picking up, fingers crossed we will catch any of the heavier stiff that does manage to make if over!

Lampost watching alongside radar watching is the best thing!

[Jonathan Rhodri Roberts]

Just very light snow now near Porthcawl but MO suggests heavy snow soon, I guess it's a case of wait and see

Precipitation starting to fill on the radar now. If you look south of Cardiff, the gaps are starting to fill again as the blues and the greens replace the gaps!

hour ago 

now

Still think the lines showers pushing North is our best chance of heavy snow in the early hours.

Sorry mate all but a few then lol

[ancientsolar]

@Jayfromcardiff  am I right thinking that there's a low pressure trying to push northeastwards (from tiverton) with the fronts on it, but is also a sub low of the one SW of Cornwall ? The 3 fronts , ~ one NE Cardiff gaining strength slowly,  ~ another one pushing towards Bristol, and a final one pushing from the South Coast. Is that sub low actually stalling over the Bristol channel sucking up moisture? ?
 

[mickeyflyn]

Looking at sat24 it looks like most of the precip is out in the English channel with just light precip over Wales.

[alijoe]

I've not had a single flake and now looked at metoffice app and been downgraded grrrrr.  Fingers crossed it gets better for us all.
