For those of us in the snow starved East Midlands. Hopefully we see development of showers within the blue area over the next few hours. 

Even that seems to be fizzling out and appears to be sliding down the west of the region.Apart from a dusting last Tuesday we had none at all!.

More sleety rain, oh dear. That band coming down from the north later had better save the day!

Here's an accurate demonstrative map of the UK in the next ice age.......

Its not fizzling out. Check 1215 radar compared with 1pm

The BBC looks a lot more realistic to me - just sleet here this afternoon, but with snow this evening.

 The BBC has my location for heavy snow showers from 6 pm to 11 pm where as the Met Office has my location down for light snow. I think it’s one of those situation were looking out the window would be more accurate than any forecast I think this is a no cast situation.

Yes looks like an area of developing ppn looks good. 

 

[high ground birmingham]

From the radar, it looks to me that the precipitation is heading southwest towards Wales and may miss Birmingham south. Or am I reading it wrong?

[Klippieboo10]

A few showers on and off in the last hour

Exactly what I think, not moving S

[Summer of 95]

Hailstones mixed in that one. Any more precip types before we get actual proper snow?

You can see the band starting to pivot  to a more northerly   should be decent this   birmingham  west  probably the best part of the midlands  atm

The main band of ppn just below Durham is definitely moving South West.....and not South!!!!! Liverpool looks to be in the firing line...to be fair to the Met Office their warning is spot on. Nothing of note for my backyard

TBH there seems to be 2 bands of precipitation, the NW/SE frontal line and a SW/NE North sea streamer.  The latter appears to be pushing on the NW side of the former and as a result the northern part appears to be moving faster than the more southern part causing it to slowly pivot.

That looks like it’ll sweep round and end up over us

Yes just slightly but it’s noticeable, we wasn’t expecting what we had this morning so you never know, radar watching for me this afternoon while the footie is on...lovely

[weirpig]

Snowing again  boring  

[mother nature rocks]

The whole band has now extended from Liverpool to the wash!! Looks like further intensification could be possible!! 
 

Bit of clear sky here now- hopefully that stays till trough arrives, get those temps down nicely!!

Good luck everyone ️️️

[Ryukai]

Oh! if you run the radar back and forth the small area of precip over Northampton appears to be trying to move in a NE direction, looks like it's trying to form a small low!
