Snow chances are there this week, albeit an outside bet. Chance 1 - back edge snow as the cold front clears around 5-7am on Tuesday - chance of a slushy layer on the Downs 50% risk Chance 2 - Kent streamer possibly to set up Thursday/Friday if the Arpege has it right - though it would be a case of wet snow only with altitude and cold rain for most - 20% chance Both of these worth keeping an eye out for. -
Model output discussion - cold proper on the way?

A slap in the face from the ECM for coldies. Will it be slapped down itself though? -
...Or Arome. the 12z goes for 12cms or so over the Downs of North and East kent, at lower levels closer to 3-5cms. http://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/aromezoom.php?mode=45&x=5151.95&y=2597.08&ech=42&zoom=3.5 My expectation here in Dover is for up to 5cms and as little as 2cms so a mean of 3-4cms. the hills to my N and W will fare better - maybe 10cms at best?

Agree. Correct. -

The North Sea is not far off the LTA. Id be more focussed on inland solar convection in your locale. -

Its the upper cold pool that will make the difference between light and heavy snow showers. If it passes over, you will know about it! More runs needed. Events of Saturday night weather-wise will become a bit clearer by Thursday 12zs, so another 2 days of fruity debate about where it will snow. -

Pub run is a thing of sublime beauty. Hope it verifies. -

15 April 1966 - easterly depositing 6 inches of snow in daylight hours on the North Downs in Kent - an ice day too. So 20 March is not too late at all. -
Model output discussion - here comes the beast!

In days of yore, the first attack fails bringing show in a line all points southward from north Pembrokeshire to Portsmouth with a possible extension east as far as Hastings on the coastal strip. -

A very pleasing run from the ECM. It has to be hoped the deep cold can win this battle at 144-168. -

GFS control is a snow making monster, serious gridlock if that verified. -

Agreed Stodge, the UKMO run is a decent run, particularly for those in the SE. Anyhow, being out in FI, the corresponding 144 chart will have altered a lot in 24 hours time. -
I think this situation is potentially a good one, Ive far more faith in this set up than the one from Monday morning. Again, not convinced about my coastal location (too warm later on) , but for the bulk of EAnglia and into London, Kent might get a dusting, even the odd cm. Some models show the area just E of Maidstone (say Lenham) as a local sweet spot. Good luck all!

Short range model discussion - into 2018
Whether Idle replied to Paul's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Thanks for clarifying. I see shallow showers of rain, sleet and graupel, with the odd snow flurry Monday as the colder air digs in and removes the moisture. -

Knocker, most models are playing this down. What makes you suggest that the showers will be anything more than shallow affairs? -
