Yup snow lands on wet ground, volume of snow plus dropping temperatures = snow will lie
Nice thank you for the reply!
BBC has yellow warning of Rain for N.I ... I thought they used the Met Office - which has issued Amber Snow for N.I
-
Will this snow lie if it is rains in the morning?
-
No real acknowledgement of snow from UTV in tonight's news and weather bulletin... just possibility of some wintry showers...
Channel 4 have just updated to heavy snow for some parts of N.I throughout Friday!

Been following this thread for a few days ... just logged in today on the laptop - very excited about the prospect of snow at the Weekend - although means I might not get to go up to Ballymoney (I'm in Belfast) to see my cousins if the roads are bad
Pretty cold here at the minute
I know very little about reading weather models, forecasting etc... I do know they can change very quickly etc..but how's it looking for next week at the minute?

Sorry to sound a bit stupid, new to all this, but does that mean it could head towards the gulf coast or will it still most likely curve to the Atlantic.

There are a multitude of factors and only 15% of tropical waves actually develop on average.
1) Dry air (look at the moisture content of the surrounding location)
2) Speed (fast motion indicates high easterly and relative shear)
3) shear (Upper level lows can shred a storm)
4) Lattitude (further south means it will likely get further west)
5) Track (further west the higher the chance of landfall)
Thanks for that. I'm going to go and read up on what you've listed

Interesting .... Can someone clue me in on how you guys determine whether the storm will develop? What conditions etc do you look at? I really don't know much. Just the basics. (warm sea temperatures, wind speed etc).
Wish I could read/understand weather models. Apart from A Level geography, I don't know much!

Really heavy rain here in Belfast, N.I ... But no thunder or lightning as of yet.
We had heavy rain last night too but again, no thunder or lighting in my area that I heard.

Biggest snowflakes i can ever remember seeing at the moment. It's a full on blizzard out there!
I'm up Braniel - massive snowflakes earlier - wee bit of a wind now - not sure about the snow conditions
, well done to you.

Pretty wet out here - lots of puddles! Was quite heavy rain earlier - hard to believe we are meant to get heavy snow tomorrow ..
I'm in Castlereagh Hills by the way!
