Last time I remember snow hanging around in April was 2013, but it was snow that had fallen in March!

Looks to me like fairly similar conditions being modelled in that it won't be cold enough to generate snow (down south anyway) but ,if there had been snow around, it wouldn't have been disappearing too fast

I remember this event very well. I was 12 years old on holiday with my family in Devon and we were on our way to visit Lands end, we suddenly stumbled into some very heavy snowfall on the moors and had to turn back- to this day I've still never been to Cornwall! My partner hates driving there also as its "too far".

 

I remember speaking to the locals in a cafe close to the Devon/Cornwall border and they told us how unusual it is to have snow there and even moreso in mid April!.

 

As for this coming Easter period it's probably unlikely anything like that will happen south of Wales but who knows stranger things have happened.

 

Let's just enjoy the warm spell 3days 20+down here in the SE?

I respectfully disagree..if that is allowed?..the second cold shot (reload) is the one that matters, the first shot always looked weaker, more of a glancing blow whereas the reload is the more powerful cold shot..if it happens of course as it’s currently only a computer projection in FI!  

This is my point though, the 'second shot' is still a long way off, so until something comes into the reliable there is still a chance it won't happen.

I'm also hesitant to trust the mean so far out- that can easily change too.

Cold, cold Easter Monday on this evening's GFS:

image.thumb.png.385b7efefd05a6ab78e4a21c04c4d67e.png

This is similar to what WAS being shown for Good Friday 48-72 hours ago

ICON says no:

But the MetO is looking like it is setting something properly cold up for later into the holiday weekend

So, chances of cold increasing for later in the Easter weekend but the first 3 days should be ok for most. No warmth but no real cold either. Monday onwards might be a different story

better time of year too, January this would be bone dry wishbone effect, but April 5th should be good convective skies

Which, unfortunately, leads to a pretty cold week on the GFS.

GEM still takes the coldest air to our west though

The downgrades to any notable cold continue.

Yesterday I was called out for questioning why there was no talk about the very notable warm spell that is on the way but lots of discussion about the cold spell in FI.

I think we've seen now why it's called FI. A few people were convinced it was nailed on- nothing is nailed on over a week out.

Add in the fact that it will be April next week and the odds are increasingly against any notable cold anyway- you need perfection in terms of a setup now.

That's not to say it won't be chilly and snow/sleet showers aren't uncommon in April.

 

And yet the 12z says

Hoping that GFS, yet again, is barking up the wrong tree with that northerly. 8 days away anyway - horrid chart!

The concern would be the UKMO is setting up a similar pattern.

The key to this GFS 12z run is the absence of a small area of low pressure just to the nw of island at 156, which is there on the 6z run. The absence of this low makes all the difference...

At 144, I’m not that concerned - yet!

Agreed, needs the met on board, but even so, as far charts vs time of year, this, as they say, is ridiculous

Could rival April 1917 for cold at this rate if the gfs verifies,lets hope the ECM follows the gfs

Short ensembles:

Op is one of the coldest runs in the suite but it is not an outlier.

Aye, very true. The MetO at 144 tonight is a concern though as it looks like it could set up what the GFS is showing. Although the GEM is similar to that MetO run and that deflects the coldest air towards Iceland and some ships in the N Atlantic

I don't think we're going to avoid a few days' cold weather next week (from Monday or Tuesday onwards). But at least Thursday to Easter Sunday seem to have been 'rescued' from the coldest weather

I haven’t seen many comments about the next few days?...The Gfs 12z operational shows plenty of sunshine across southern u k and a thing to note about the max temps, the Gfs has a habit of undercooking the maxima so on Tuesday for example, 21c may result in 23c and Wednesday, 22c may result in 24 or possibly 25c but increasing cloud on Wednesday could have something to say about that...however, an almost summery feel to tues / wed in particular further s / se. ☀️ ⛅️

It seems to be that the warmth is being extended and the cold delayed?  Typical really.
