Showers likely to come further inland tonight ?
Depend on wind direction, currently showers are running almost parallel to the coast, if the winds veer more northerly then they will come further inland

Snowing at coast, trying to settle, but not quite cold enough.

Well a nice fine day here at the coast, with sunshine at lunchtime and a WNW wind force 3-4. Temperatures at 6c. A cold wind.
What was interesting was the line of instability thrown up by the lift from the cliffs at the coast, looking north.
Compare that with the view looking west, almost cloudless
Its a shame this setup is early in the winter, as I have said up thread I think the sea is too warm for snow at the coast, but inland over the Wolds will be be a different story I reckon. The instability creates a high possibility of thundersnow here when conditions are right. Just a pity its the end of November and not mid January, or of course much deeper cold as happened in 2010.

Maybe at the immediate coastline yes
That was my thinking as well, SSTs too high at the moment unless we get deep cold. Inland over the high ground will be a different story I suspect.

Been a day of sunny intervals and showers. Seen several part rainbows whilst out and about, this was the best taken in Bridlington this morning.

I am just watching and reading
, from my basic understanding we are heading in the right direction but it is early in the season for proper 'Yorkshire Wolds' wintry weather, but the weather this year has been full of surprises so who knows.....
The problem near the coast this early in the winter is the sea surface temps are still warm. It therefore takes deeper cold to get snow. Having said that in 2010 we got snow right at the end of November.

Blowing an absolute hooley at the coast this morning gusting close to 50mph from the NW. We had some graupel and it feels colder than 4c which is current temp.

Spectacular sunrise here this morning, picture taken by Mrs Mike57 at Bridlington Harbour this morning
Very windy at lunchtime, ride bike curtailed to 7.5 miles by an evil head wind and muddy roads, ran out of time.
Wind WSW Force 6-8, some sunshine, and 12C. Temperature although mild was masked by the near gale

Well lunchtime bike ride was only half a ride today, as I spent the best part of half an hour of my lunch hour fixing a puncture before I set off. B****y hawthorn thorn from hedge cutting.
Wind was strong, WSW force 4-6 and a tough head wind on the uphill outward leg. Cloudy, and temps of 11c.

Lunchtime ride produced a NNE force 4 wind with 9c and long sunny intervals. Looked to be more cloud to the west, but so far no rain here yet today. Ground still looks waterlogged. Overall for November not too bad.

Much less wind today, lunchtime bike ride brought a Force 2 SE to E wind. mostly cloudy but dry and 9c.

Hit 'Turbo' on the E-bike Mike, makes light work of any head on winds
The only E on my bike is exercise, from good old human powered legs

A better day today, surface water flooding leaving the village had subsided enough for me to cycle through it, so I was able to resume my normal route.
Broken Cloud, wind was a bit of pain, SW force 4-6, a headwind for the first 3.5 miles, somehow the help when heading home never seems to make up for slog on the outward leg. Temperatures 9c. Not too bad for a mid November day.

The surface water flooding which caused me to divert my bike ride yesterday was if anything worse today, so rode a different route. Fortunately up on the Wolds there is hardly any flowing surface water, the only water course I am aware of on the chalk area is the Gypsey Race, and this tends to be seasonal.
Winds yesterday were close to 60mph gusts, followed by more rain overnight and this morning with a stubborn rain band right over us.
Managed to get out between the showers, with even a bit of sun between, Winds now very light Force 1-2 , variable but mainly W and temperatures 9c

Heavy rain this morning was replaced by sunny intervals, so lunchtime bike ride happened, but was cut short by a combination of wind, a flooded road and the need to negotiate road works.
Wind was SW force 6-7 probably gusting 8 once out of the shelter of the village, with sunny intervals, temps of 11C.

Wet this morning but cleared up at lunchtime, so bike ride was dry if windy, again some showers still about, and again, they missed me. Wind was strong, force 5-7 SW for the first 20 mins or so of the ride then verred W and dropped to 3-5. Temps were 10c and it was cloudy.
You can see the back edge of the fronts clearly here, the shower off in the distance missed me.

At the coast a re run of yesterday. Some hefty showers about, but missed me at lunchtime. Broken cloud with quite a bit of sun. Wind started out SW 4-6, but was veering and dropping while I was out, to 3-4 WNW. 11C.

I went into the garden last night after seeing the post and picture from @Wold Topper Our horizon to the north is not that good here, and there is quite a bit of stray light, but I did detect a very feint glow in the north, but couldnt see any colour, and all attempts to photograph it to bring the colour out failed. I hadnt got to grips with night mode for my phone camera.
Lunchtime brought a strong SW wind, force 5-6, with broken cloud but some showers about, although they missed me. Temperatures 10C. SW meant a head wind for the first 3.5 miles, and a good bit of that uphill so quite a slog going out

Well as expected winds here were nothing out of the ordinary, but I would be interested to know how much rain fell last night in our area. It woke me at about 4.30 but I suspect from the state of the ground and roads today that it rained hard most of the night. Lunchtime bike ride got diverted after encountering this leaving the village. Didnt even get as far as yesterdays flood. Retraced my route and did another 8 miles on a different route.
Winds were force 3-4 NE with some broken cloud, and temps of 12C

Hi all,
What might we get in terms of wind here in Yorkshire from
the coming storm Ciaran .. I'm reading this chart as around 45 - 50 mph ?
The rain will be the major problem perhaps.Thats my take, Metoffice have wind speed forecast lower than forecast here, a gale but just a normal autumn one here. Only issue might be direction, Easterly. Rain on the otherhand... Totals are mounting day on day. Ground is waterlogged. Up on the Wolds issues will be quite local, but I imagine people on the various flood plains must be concerned.

Aside from the screaming winds and hearing the windows creak my memory of 1987 was the silence in the morning...nothing no traffic noise no birds silence
I had a lucky escape, I was working in SE London that week, but had wrapped on site up mid afternoon on the Thursday, and headed home to Yorkshire early leaving Kings Cross at 5pm. When I woke the next morning the full impact was clear from the news. Back in Yorkshire it was windy, but no more than a normal autumnal gale. Even at the work site there was no hint of what was coming.

Well lunchtime produced S wind force 4-5 and some hazy sunshine after a wet start. Temperature 12C
Everywhere is now saturated, and still some surface flooding locally. I imagine it will get worse towards the weekend. Wet feet coming back I wasnt able to get a run at it.

Another wet morning here. Mrs Mike57 set off to York this morning, reported a lot of surface water flooding again around our area. If the rain later in the week is as bad as predicted I would imagine the Derwent will be reaching flood levels, it was looking fairly full last Friday.

It was very borderline here this morning, we are about 1 mile from the sea, but 78m asl. Snow ended up sticking on the grass and roofs but melting on roads and pavements. Even now the snow that fell this morning is sticking around where the sun hasn't reached. Daily bike ride took me to Bridlington today as usual route was flooded again, and in Bridlington snow hadn't stuck at all, thats pretty well sea level. In these situations even 0.3 deg C warmer or colder can make a big difference to the outcome, together with dew point. I think here it will be'wait and see', further inland I would suggest there will definitel;y be a good covering by the morning, as to how far inland, thats down to the veering winds.
