Yes - Central & SE london/ NW kent - past dartford ( ironically ) look in a real good spot

What about NW London Steve?

[Laurence Hill]

Looks SW to my untrained eye

Not sure of any SW movement in the showers, it's just the Thames beefing them up and expanding them. Still moving WNW....

Met office taken everyone in south london and kent out of yellow warning?

[inghams85]

We've been hammered in Rotherham approaching 10cm overnight and lots more to come! Could not 20cm by days close! A trough due in at 12 will enhance convection again

 

Sorry wrong thread!

Looking over in (a very quiet) MOD thread, what’s the outlook for us West Kent tomorrow and Friday? So much chopping and changing I can’t keep up and hardly any posts this morning to clarify!!!

[Southender]

Incoming @Paul Sherman that 10:10 grab is promising...

[Due South]

Steve: What's your thoughts on the low coming up from the south. Will that effect Kent in any way. Cheers.

It's gone if you click on the warning maps page, but still showing on the forecasts for some reason. 

[trickybirdy]

Just looked at my BBC Weather app 'Heavy snow showers and breezy, hmm looks pretty bright outside.  I'm waiting for round two, of taking pictures of the snow.

Wind picking up, some drifting snow, shower just to the east..could the Thames be turning it’s snow machine on...

The winds are perfect for streamer from now until about 2pm and there is convergence zones towards London uppers minus 14 over us and minus 16 out to the sea.. Models not showing too much snow probably to the DAM increasing but with temperature gradient of over 20degrees they may be underestimating the convection.

Yep, light to mod shower passing through Southend now.

[stainesbloke]

The wind is picking up here and starting to blow the snow about. Will be chaos in the E where there’s loads more snow, be safe everyone.
