North West England Regional Weather Discussion 23/04/2017 onwards

[Chris.R]

 Nothing here but temp still falling so must be close to a down draught. 

 

Within 2 hours I expect lightning to start popping up nearby and by evening I expect many showers to start electrifying as they approach land.  Possibly snow chances after midnight or when dp goes negative, rain and graupel/hail until then.

Wonder why there's been no hail here?

Heavy hail here

Most likely showers are maturing further along higher cloudtops tapping into cold uppers

Cloud heights perhaps? Think higher the CB cell the more likely of hail and perhaps lightning also.

Not posted here for a LONG time but this looks like the most hopeful for the Fylde  since Dec  2010. Coastal always doubtful but proper cold and fronts of the Irish Sea always interesting. BBC met has heavy snow Blackpool on Sunday... 

[Mokidugway]

DPs will fall overnight substantially .

[I Cumbria Marra I]

Purely IMBY but 10/11/12pm looking good

 

[northwestsnow]

you can see from marras post the trough that should sink south overnight quite nicely at 10pm

Looking forward to my 5am get up, windscreen scrape and battling the elements on the way to work. ?

[The Northern Ramper]

Think we might get a surprise snowfall tomorrow.

[Mokidugway]

My last shower was wet hail or sleet changed in the last half hour from rain

The WRF high resolution model also shows a second wintry spell at about 7am for us. It comes from the Irish sea and then sinks south.

Wind picked up noticeably this afternoon while I was out at work, and had a hail shower after 2pm... hopefully sign of things to come as temps falls away.  East of the region is looking to grab some wintery stuff early hours before the wind switches NW and takes the showers away.

[mottram blue]

really looking forward to what tonight might bring, not in work tomorrow so radar watching for me. Anyone near the glossop area who is temperature reading, Im in Broadbottom and so pretty close, interested to see where we are at currently thats all, good luck people. 

[C11ady]

2.9c and falling.

Think my altitude will help - temps forecast to keep dropping now- i expect higher parts round here to start reporting snow before 10pm..

BBC graphics on the 5pm forecast look good for all our region over night
