Unfortunately not. That's because the area of low pressure itself doesn't actually drop by 24mb. I should have probably not been so vague, but the large pressure drop is due to the fact that we're under a ridge of high pressure, before the low pressure moves in. It's still quite an impressive change in pressure in a short space of time though. :)

Ah ok...so the pressure drop has to be in the low pressure system for it to be a bomb? Impressive drop nonetheless.

One thing to note is the threat of further snow showers after the main band of PPN has cleared later tomorrow;

Brackley always used to do really well for snow, many a marginal event was snow when it hit there - I used to live just down the road in Hinton in the Hedges.

"Really quite incredible looking through the 12Z ECM ensembles - at just 18 hours away, the central front of the "slider" is forecast to stall just about anywhere between Guildford and Cambridge. London is hit by snow in almost all the ensembles now, especially north of the Thames.

Rapidly becoming an "on" the M4 event, rather than north of it.

Longer term - more and more charts stalling the Atlantic between 17th and 19th, will cold remaining in place. And with just 6 days until Christmas..."


Post by Man With Beard in the model thread. "Rapidly becoming an "on" the M4 event, rather than north of it." - Might be the sweetest words I've ever read on this forum. Would love for it to be the case.

Its sooooo cold..if anything fall from the sky right now..surly its not gonna be rain..its bloody freezing?

Do you have a temperature, humidity and pressure reading handy? I can do some calculations. However, most of the region is under -4 to -5C upper air, and that is slowly being mixed out by the approaching front. :(

Snow just hitting Weymouth & Portland? Meteo radar appears to show it. 

Showing as plain ol' rain on the NetWx radar.

As far as I can tell, the 12z Hi-Res suite pads out as follows:

Significant snowfall on Sunday South of Oxford for at least a few frames:

- AROME

- ARPEGE

- HIRLAM

- ICON (15z although only included due to heavy snow from undercut/wrap around in pm following rain)

- NETWX-SR

Significant snowfall only North of Oxford:

- NMM

- EURO4

Excuse the newbie question... but will the intensity of the PPN increase the chance of it falling as snow? Or will it make little to no difference tomorrow.

It can do, but you would still need sufficient cold upper temperatures to support it. Heavier precip can help to lower the wet bulb freezing temp, but  not so much in windy conditions.

Hi, am I right in saying the main rain/low pressure is only just showing on the radar in SW Ireland, and to get snow when that arrives you’d want to be in the middle or northern part of the system for highest chance of snow ? Thanks...
