Agreed, I suspect the models are badly underestimating any streameron Monday mindyou.

Here is my gut instinct on any streamer:

1: Sets up around 6am Mon and steaidly strengthens but CLOSE to the estruary mouth, motion WSW.

2: Waxes and wanes during Monday, probably won't be ever present, though my guess is within 10-20 miles of the mouth will probably have a fairly constant snow rate.

3: Tuesday AM (3-6am) shifts the streamer towards N.Kent coasts and out through Brighton roughly. Strong model hints that we see a strengthening helped by the shortwave coming through to our north which klicks some extra instability into the system.

4: Some point later on Tuesday (roughly afternoon) winds bends back ENE at steering level and probably streamer gets a rough Feb 09 orientration. Probably will peak shower intensity due to cold pool aloft. This remains till Wed morning.

5: Brief switch to ESE winds late Wednesday. Some uncertainties about this though as there maybe some more stable air starting to come into play from France aheadof the low pressure. Probably decent chance of snow, and probably best shot for those say in NW London.

6: Things settle down somewhat for Thursday.

Wondering about the Northeastern extent of the streamer? Some maps have a potential 5-10 cms for eastern parts of Suffolk about 10 miles from the coast. Can remember benefitting from this setup in the past although obviously not to the same level as those down in SE Essex and Sussex/Kent.

I feel sorry for the poor sheep in the snow.

To be serious that's why I've moved them close... Stables all open.... Full water troughs, copious hay and nuts and Hovis Finger Rolls for the Ram.  I'm looking forward to the snow JennyJane1 but am extremely concerned about the severity of these temperatures....

Stay positive mate, it hasn't even started yet:)

I’m trying, but it’s not looking great for my area.

Disturbances in the flow are looking less likely now, so the usual suspects will do well from streamers. Need a cleaner easterly for anything decent here.

Well early days, they may expand the amber zone tomorrow or even Tuesday when it looks more apparent where heaviest and frequent snow showers will align.

I understand why they have updated to amber as the Euro4 shows an uptick of convection for the areas the amber warning covers, plus most other moderls do the same. The thing that needs to be watched is the models are probably underdoing snow potential on Monday. We will see but models haven't done that well with several streamers in the Baltic sea thus far which are in a similar airmass to what we are in.

Same. With the luck we have even an easterly wont give us almost nothing while Norwich gonna get buried as usual....

That long range met outlook is unbelievable isn’t it. What a huge change for the worse. Oh well, bring on Mon-Fri. Then perhaps Spring slowly ushering in. If we all get a good dump, then that will make it easier to take. Huge turnaround from Exeter on the extended though ?

Watch the TV forecasts change also in relation to the weekend. They are ALWAYS 12-24 hours behind with the public TV forecasts. I'm sure the presenters must feel the frustration we feel also at times, especially those that pursue meteorology as a hobby too.

I've only been looking at GFS ppn charts which show Kent as the bullseye zone but a lot more ropey for us north of the Thames with only the odd weak trough pushing through. Any other hi-res output people have seen which can give a bit more hope to us northerners?

 

Also, I don't understand how the upper flow at times looks very ESE, a lot like 09 in fact yet the streamers are still progged a direct NE.

 

Oh well. All fun and games. Good luck everyone.

Is this for the week coming or friday

I’m just a little to the NW of the amber warning area. Hopefully the heavy showers extend a bit further west!

That Amber Warning does denote more of a NNE Streamer to me in its allignment, this would favour Medway Towns and Ashford more than the Thames Estuary I would have thought. Time for it too change I guess

The really cold uppers haven’t even engaged the warmer North Sea yet. There is the potential for huge convection, yet we all know how bad the models are at picking it up. Those writing off snow chances need to bear this in mind.

This is the maximum snow coverage for Brighton according to weather.us, it looks like I will spend all my Thursday evening outside making the most of snow :) before it starts melting on Friday.

Remember the warning areas are for guidance only, don’t get hung up about whether you are in or out of the Amber area. Things will undoubtedly change...

Met office extended updates flip and flop like a flag in the wind!

They haven’t this past month though. At all. Been rock solid. And then, at the crucial time, it’s flipped (and that really is an overnight flip).

Wonder who’s trashing the GFS now?

Could re-flip of course. Feels unlikely though given that the increasing westerly influence is easier to forecast.

I’d also add, there will be bands of snow that will pop up over the next few days, these are impossible to forecast...

Snow is actually quite beneficial for sheep. Unless they're buried obviously. Mine can come in if they want but being sheep they're always looking for a near death experience....?
