I don’t think temperatures and DP’s will be low enough below Home Counties. No it's seems for those southeast it's always daytime when everything is just hovering above the isotherm. I count myself lucky with regards to the snow today very rare in my location. Always to the east or to the west by about 30 miles lol. So I have had my snow fix had a snowball fight with my son and daughter and now can't wait for it to dry out Link to post Share on other sites

What's the best set up for Kent to be in with any chance of the action tomorrow? Storm positioning etc? You want a slight north east correction but not by 100 miles as once again midlands will get the most out of this feature. I would say 50 miles and it could be all good for you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Are snow chances have upgraded a bit over the past few hours, huh? A mixture of sleet/rain and to top it off, some heavy snow? Surely not! Tomorrows gonna be a LONG day and I gotta feeling a few surprises may crop up for our region. Heres to hoping.... I said this yesterday evening and it looks like it was the right call! Many posters woke up to a surprise snowfall in places across our region and we've had over 20+ pages of posts in just one day! I think theres a chance that more snow will fall tomorrow for our region. Yesterday people were worrying about DP's being too high....and the majority of our region still got snow even with these 850temps.... As long our has its own cold pool and DP's are -0, then wintry PPN will fall. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

So areas below that are likely to see sleet/rain, areas at that elevation or above likely to see snow. Though obviously you need to account for evaporative cooling etc. But, like Nick said earlier, higher ground seems necessary for tomorrow, lower levels unlikely to see much action.

I recall something similar happening in January last year. We saw a period of snow down to sea level as it cleared through. Link to post Share on other sites

The French low should pep up the snowfall tomorrow morning into the afternoon across parts of the SE, as the northern flank of the lows precipitation moves across the SE, heaviest rates modelled towards S and E Kent and E Sussex, but more likely to be rain here, with snow more further N and W toward London and Essex, northern and western extent rather uncertain this far off, so be interesting which model is on the money. 6 Link to post Share on other sites

If anything, looks a bit more marginal tomorrow for places that have seen snow today - especially the east of our region, as there'll be a strong NE wind bringing in moisture off the N Sea. Today winds were light M4/Thames northwards under the low moving east - which allowed little rise in temperature / little mixing and allowed evaporative cooling unhindered. If the low moving NE over France is deeper than modelled, then it will track further north, so be interesting looking at obs to see if it is deeper then models forecast.
