At the end of the week as most of the Better performing Mesoscale Models come into range I will do a daily check on what Models are showing for the Upcoming Easterly to see what they are thinking - from the current ones we have that go to T120 atm its only GooFuS that is showing anything of note atm and thats maybe why the BBC are not jumping through hoops about next week having any potential. 

When we get to T72 on Friday afternoon I will put some charts in here from the Various Models and do a daily summary to see what we are looking at

Cheers Paul.

It wasn't the app and yeah I do know the chances of materialising are very low but just needed some excitement these days haha.

Nope it looked to coincide late in the day with nocturnal cooling and dews are OK most of us would have had a good event if it was 50 miles further north.

On the coast maybe and within 15 miles of the coast.. 

I've noticed of my weather station (got it for Christmas..) that from around 6-8pm onwards it's been conductive for snow even in the setup we are in now. This doesn't even factor in height or evaporative cooling.. I'm 60ft above sea level here in the Thames Valley.. 

Remember it takes special conditions to get snow even in mainland UK. It takes something exceptional to get laying snow on the coast (usually) simply because the rule of thumb is "in summer the sea keeps the coast cool, in winter it keeps it warm" 

Trying to forecast snow events and temperatures beyond 48hrs is proving difficult at the moment.. Let alone a week! 

Indeed - but we know what the basic bare minimum parameters are. I guess my point was if that chart actually materialised as is now, it’ll be borderline. The concurrent dew points are encouraging - just. We’re (royal we) are probably looking for something here that delivers region-wide rather than the usual caveats (elevation, etc) and early next week, as currently modelled across the suites, doesn’t give me huge confidence. But as you say, it’ll probably come down to micro-detail at the time. The biggest thing we need for once is a bit of luck!

I’m confused. Steve and Choino seem to think there’s a POSSIBILITY of a north shift regarding today’s system, some of you say there’s no way, some of you say it would be rain and some say it would be snow.

It won't rain/sleet/snow in our area tonight from that system. Need to forget about it.

It is a little north and the low closed before the UK v had it close, but I'm not yet sure there's much of a difference. I'm waiting to see what happens.

If it shifts north and we see snow in the SE I will personally come to your house and give you £100 I’m that confident of it not happening

Looking very good for Crawley tonight. One question, what causes the shift from heavy snow to sleet and then to heavy snow all in the space of 2 hours, under the same temps in the middle of the night?

 

 

There is no snow for Crawley tonight

You aren’t going to see snow in Southend no way, that’s clear, all it means is instead of all precip getting wasted in channel there’s a risk for southern coasts. Current state you think surely fishes but models take a little jump north could it be enough for some in coastal Kent/Sussex?

Thanks Paul ..looks like the SE is not back in the hunt for Snow  for the next 5 days ... the forecast for a NE flow tends to favour our region although some on the MOD thread suggesting the uppers  are still to warm but some say its looking good........waiting the updated forecast from  the Met with interest 

 

Enjoy the seasonal feel ..its lovely outside

defo won't be snow from this even if it had gone North a tad, as my temp has just gone up 2c to 4.1c in last 30 minutes as the edge of it gets closer.
