Looks like we will miss out this weekend with the bulk of the snow further north. 

Bring on spring especially now it starts to get lighter in the evening

Showers already moving into Cornwall worth watching in a few hrs time.

Looks heavy but I think the high pressure is gonna kill any precipitation the closer to land it gets

Its a shame that the front that's approaching to our south west and west now isn't 200-300 miles further east. It may have been slightly less cold today/tomorrow if so but we'd have likely got a good frontal snow event. Unfortunately the cold block was a little too strong at this point in the week to let the front approach with any intensity. Hope Pembrokeshire manages to catch the eastern part of it.

Looking good for Pembrokeshire at the moment, not really losing intensity this and approaching quickly.

Any chance of those heavy showers behind the main front to slide more east?  

Towards carmarthen/swansea/neath area.

Looked at raintoday and so precipitation which is around Newquay atm may hit Swansea/Neath and west Wales in an hour or 2. Also az its over the sea should bulk up a bit. This is what I can see on raintoday radar.

Sorry to be a party pooper but I can't see anything more than some light to moderate snow west of around Swansea, and flurries at most elsewhere in South Wales. If you run the radar and look at the leading edge of of the front currently off the north coast of Cornwall, it's fizzling. The high is still too strong and the precipitation is evaporating as it comes up against it.

Still, the front is definitely worth keeping an eye on. I know it's a cliché to say this, but nothing in meteorology is guaranteed.

Will we see a warning for Pembrokeshire for Saturday morning? Most models show a mix of rain/sleet/ snow approaching here

Where on earth did this come from? I don't normally take any notice of the BBC's automated forecasts, but I'm surprised.

What the hell. I swear bbc forecasts are getting worse and worse, your precipitation chance is 5% for most of the day, should say cloudy!

Most models have Wales under snowfall on Saturday. Today’s front was always forecast to make it to the SW before fizzling out. Saturday is our best chance to see a few cm before milder air pushes in on Sunday where any precipitation that gets to us will likely be rain.

This is painful radar watching.  Precipitation is so close, but seems to have come to a halt! 

I feel your pain ! The precipitation is just breaking up against the cold block !

Not sure where they're getting heavy snow from.

Surely it should be just a cloudy symbol unless the chance of precipitation is above at least 40%?

Just looked at BBC weather for the day for my area and it's showing heavy snow all day, but a maximum of 6% chance!! wtaf? I never take notice of them anyway!
