Dew point around 2 in Southend. Still time to hit the GFS 7pm deadline although there’s currently no PPN falling.

My lamppost tells me it's definitely a little more sleety here in Greenwich

Looking positive for us in these parts Steve. What elevation are we looking at needing to see snow do you think?

[Paul Sherman]

Channel Chugger Convergence Zone going well atm

You live on a mountain relative to me Tom! Thames floodplain checking in 5m (16ft).

Hi Daniel,

Yes the downside of living in an Inner London Borough!!

I've lost half my height, since I moved back to Lee, from living with my Children in Chislehurst, about 3 miles to the S.E.

Ouch!!

Regards,

Tom.

Hopefully a little further east for more of us!

Def trying it’s hardest to turn sleety here

[TROY]

Light at the end of this grey drizzly cold. Temps up to 9C. By the weekend. With Sunshine we hope. Take care everyone, cheers and good health. Time for a snifter.

[jright35]

More heavy sleet here in Iwade

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Interesting and nerve biting times ahead you gotta love the British weather for keeping us on our toes.. 

 

Great to see some of you seeing some wintry PPN even at low levels.. 

 

DP now 1c here temp 3.2!

 

 

Come on weather gods be nice to us! 

[Tom Quintavalle]

This profile still favours a mid-Kent > East Sussex Streamer, IMO.

Too much North in the flow, for a Thames Streamer.

Regards,

Tom.

Where are you seeing temps of 9? Current forecast is for a high of 4 at your location for Saturday, might be some sunshine though.

[Daniel*]

Given there's reports of sleet in Whitstable it must now be snowing above 200m on North Downs.

[Jackski4]

Temp is 3C and DP Is 1C according to NW here in Southend right now. And dropping. Getting excited 

[jamesgold]

Is there any chance the precipitation will beef up a little, or is it going to be these very narrow lines all evening?

Yes Luke and specifically an E.N.E flow, as the air stays in contact with a source of moisture for longer.

E.G. Thames Estuary/Southern North Sea,

A direct Easterly has a very short Sea Track.

Tom.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but it appears we do have E. N. E flow though here atm

Think we got a E.S.E flow right now, usually if theres any south motion to an easterly it kills of most peoples chances of snow expect for those in kent, bit like the over hyped beast from the east a few years ago

I dare go into the MOD thread to see what the ECM update is. I am holding myself back I am sure if there is any upgrades we will hear it from Steve. Some broken cloud now in Walthamstow.

[chionomaniac]

Just drove home from East Grinstead to Hayward’s Heath. The only stronger burst of precipitation I encountered was sleety rain. It’s a start I guess

[Eagle Eye]

Areas of Sleet randomly popping up it seems ATM will be Lamppost Watching to see if any near me.
