North West Regional Discussion 30 Jan 2019 onwards

[Carl46Wrexham]

In the rain shadow of the Welsh mountains today, therefore thankfully very little rain has fallen here today...bits and pieces intermittently whereas just a few miles west of me I’ve been informed that there has been hours of steady moderate rain.

[Cheshire Freeze]

What a grim grim day. Bouncing down for most of it.

[Had Worse]

No idea how next week is going to play out but ECM and GFS in some agreement for a cool/cold NW Flow with dare I say a possibility of some wintry stuff

Hello pink.

Looks like an embedded squal line is about to hit me and plces further North. White line on radar.

With temps due to drop 5 degrees by 11am this could get interesting

I doubt you'll be doing snow Angel's.

More like slush Angel's.

Yep not holding up much hope of anything white or snowy...maybe on the tops...it’ll all be gone anyway by tomorrow... next week holding interest but not banking on it..

Lumpy cold rain....not that heavy.... 4c

[WillinGlossop]

Wet snow/sleet on winking man camera....

Must be turning to snow now on the back edge, temps dropping fast I see. Around 24 hours of non stop rainfall around Cumbia, finally easing off a bit.

Snap..... and at flash and cat and fiddle on cams

No chance of any back edge snow here, as radar echoes aren't producing to ground level. However, the radar does show showers already packing in behind the front, latching on to its' energy.

Hopeful of some heavy squally hail showers later on. Next week looks like producing more of the same.

The cold front tomorrow needs watching for possible snow on the back edge. Looks like just Manchester N and E unfortunately though as the wind will be too strong for anything further west in my opinion. Best case anywhere East of M6. There will be a marked temp drop everywhere  though. 

Going more or less as expected then. Temp dropped  here from 10.1°C to 5.0°C during the front.

for next week; the GFS 06Z now shows snow down to sea level for a few hours Wednesday morning going by the parameters. this is the first run that has shown it being the right side of marginal for me.

Awfull day Temperature has dropped to 4c and the heavy rain is turning to sleet.

Yucky 3c cloudy drizzly.... pretty symbolic of this winter thus far....copious days of 2-5c with cold rain.... yuck

[Backtrack]

Worth noting that the dewpoints just to our west are conductive to producing snow. They're spreading this way. Interesting.

Hail and thunder again 4th event in Feb
