Good afternoon all fellow posters .I,m realy hoping for some action here in north Somerset late Wednesday early Thursday but currently i think anything of note will be further east than my area .perhaps this evenings charts will show a bit more hope ,and now with a bit more darker hours perhaps hopefully some of us lucky ones can get some night time storms which are more interesting ,so fingers crossed Stella on ice and lets hope the weather gods play Ball ,cheers .

Afternoon all ,i,v been lurking ,family ties with older relatives keeping me busy but great that i can still come on Net weather and enjoy some weather talk from time to time .
I ,m realy looking forward to this week ahead ,we do have some potential synoptic conditions for some thundery action and looking at current charts it looks like a slow moving front later tuesday could deliver .
for my neck of the woods [somerset ] i,m hoping for an over nighter ,but best of luck for all .
too early yet for specifics but i think by later tomorrow we should start to see much more detail .i,v memories of being a young boy [absolutely scared of night time storms but still managed to look out the window ]watching the street light getting hit then catching fire ,soot coming down the chimney etc .
Right then Gang ,sausage Baps all round bring it on cheers .

Afternoon all ,yesterday was a great day here in parts of my area [Somerset ] torrential rain and several overhead thunder claps .
my garden looked great with loads of bedding plants in bloom ,well now they look tatty and broken as the force of the rain hit them hard ,well lets hope for some action later and perhaps some late evening storms to light up the sky ,heres hoping Gang .

will be very interesting if that mass of action does make it to our shores ,fairly confident it could but seems to be very slow moving and i,m at great pain to how far north and west it will get ,heres hoping but my kneck of the woods ,somerset would need a good throw of the dice ,lets hope that some of us get some good action tonight ,cheers .

Wall to wall blue start to the day, currently:
Temp 9.9°C
RH 89%
Wind 2.0 mph N
Rainfall 9.2 mm
1010.8 mb Rising
Same here ,brilliant start to the day, those not working like me Enjoy as next couple of days look rather blowy wet ,welcome back the Atlantic ,gave my lawn a cut tuesday ,birds took nearly all of the grass cuttings to build nests ,also Queen wasp arrived up our shed [gave me the shivers ]AS other poster pointed out somewhere ,radar looked impressive here yesterday but not much fell ,cheers .
-
Would be great if some of us could see some white stuff overnight ,probably with a good bit of hight would be the best quess .
But real concerns for the strength of the wind and direction ,any trees already weak could be uprooted and i dont think it will take massive gusts ,and potential is certainly there .
a night for radar watching if ones up to it , shame its not all 6 weeks back ,take care all ,got a feeling in my water [thatchers cider ]that next winter will be the holy grail of winters , best of luck for tonight ,at least we do have some heavy precipitation which should help ,sausage bap coming up cheers .
-
Afternoon all ,I have been popping in most days for a good read .some interesting charts in the further outlook if its wintry weather you are looking for ,but before then some mild in the forecast ,lets hope that synoptics for a good lowland snow fall come together in the outlook it is getting late but theres every possibility but i,m sure it will take a good deal of luck .
well i got my fix early today ,nothing settling but definate magical flakes falling to greet the morning ,take care all cheers

Afternoon ,just been out with old friends, meal plus a thatchers gold ,crikey blowing a gale here earlier .
just noticed on radar a nice area of something developing across east wales moving in this direction ,weather warnings being put out for many areas today ,shame we arent back four weeks or so but does look like higher ground could see the white stuff fingers crossed ,cheers all .

The models have been good this winter....unfortunately it's my hearing as I get older that's been the problem.
So many times I've though they were screaming out "there's snow potential!!" to me ......only to find out as they got closer was what they really calling out to me was "there's no potential"!
Fantastic post ,sums up winter for me too ,must get my ears syringed ready for next winters Model discussions ,here we are End of Meteorological winter and some good charts on offer today ,cheers .

Good evening Gang ,i,v not posted in quite awhile and my Towel is still In .
Things looking very good for cold and Snow fall chances in further outlook
Ok its very nearly spring but the weather can deliver given good synoptics and charts currently showing the possibility although at odds with each other but all show cold cyclonic conditions .we will i feel need good precipitation rates a good source of cold air some good 850 temperatures and a fair share of luck depending on your particular location .Lets hope gang after this very long virtually snowless mushy windswept and certainly wet for many winter, we can all get something falling from the sky this early Spring , Stellas all round cheers

For those intermittently waking up tomorrow night to peak out of the window, I think a few could well see the good stuff from midnight onward.
i certainly will be, my neighbours aren't going to be happy with me. Halogen outside light going on and off half hourly
Yes i will be flicking my Halogen light on IF any sleet snow arrives ,more so out my back garden as it does not effect neighbours so much ,setting up garden furniture [for photo me hopes ] come thurs morning .
going by past events with similar synoptics ,i,d say still very hard to forecast ,we need some good precipitation around ,slow moving system ,and some good or fair luck ,but certainly i,d say a good chance ,just love the landscape with snow around .cheers .
-
Good morning ,The cold is in [hooray] so something to be happy with .
looking at all current charts and Data we will i feel be having an interesting and nail biting Model output Discussion and i,m sure plenty of twists and turns .
Next weeks action currently shown tues/wed will probably go down near to the wire ,Fax charts eagerly awaited for finer detail .
Very briefely [if only weather presenters had more air time ,i,m pretty sure that would save a lot of confusion for many ]question ,at what time frame was tonights tomorrows snow showers pushing in from the east forecast ,i,m pretty sure it wasnt that long ago ,my point the weather later next week may be totally different to what we currently expect .
great forum ,chins up gang its not over yet cheers

12z EC delivers snow across much of northern/western/central UK by end of Thursday: all of Wales and for England, approx Scarborough down to Bournemouth as eastern boundary; western boundary approx Exmoor to Exeter (plus Dartmoor). 12z UKMO-GM broadly similar ideas (re western bias). Much water to run under bridge before then, so very low confidence and no individual solution is trustworthy at this point.
Re this weekend, key difference is how 12z EC offers a far less wet day for the south on Saturday (thus also further reducing scope for any snow across e.g. Chilterns, Cotswolds, Downs). UKMO have modified forecast expectations towards this solution (thus also losing yellow wind warning for SW: nonetheless, a few ENS members are still potent).
A big thank you for that information ,this must be the top weather forum around ,exciting times and plenty of interesting synoptics ,i,m pretty sure if tv weather presenters had far more air time which at one time I wrote to bbc about we would not need the web so much ,perhaps its best that we dont get any more info as this would takeaway the hunt a bit .cheers .

so frustrating why are we missing out
yes all very frustrating ,at least we are looking at Potential over coming week or so ,and given that things at the week range seem to present themselves all of a sudden i,m hoping we can get lucky .
i personally have Not given up on this week end just yet as its 48 hrs away or so ,at least next week cold air will hopefully be in place to our east and south east .
So best of luck to all those that get the magical white stuff ,and i,m sure there will be some ,Fax charts should be interesting ,catch you all later cheers

HI ALL ,just had steady sleet with proper flakes of snow although wet snow ,sun back out but something setting up across west wales ,certainly more wintry and more i hope to come .
-
Just gone very black towards the west ,no wind here ,possibly some hail or sleet inciming i hope .
this weekend shows promises but got a feeling we will need plenty of luck ,forecasters edging their bets so i feel that is sometimes good news .cheers .
-
Very windy here on mendip but winds not as strong as gusts last night .
I suppose stronger winds are expected over lunch time ,i remember back during burns day storm the winds seemed to pick up very suddenly and lasted a couple of hours ,Snow chances more i think come this weekend but we need everything to fall right for us ,but you never know lows a bit further south colder 850s and we could get some fingers crossed .
-
like to report that one hell of a shower just passed here ,rain torrential with gusty winds but only lasted minutes .
we have been lucky so far this winter here on west mendip but tomorrow looks a fowl day ,although trees are not in leaf i can remember a large tree being felled in the burns day storm and the noise of that still sticks in my mind now ,take care all .

Very deflating run wasn't it? I am really tempted to book a plane ticket to the US for next week! Can't afford though lol.
Deflating yes ,but maybe that higher pressure over the far north may just may send lows later in its modelling further south .
IT does seem though that rain fall totals will continue ,and possible named storms ,damn it i need my fix ,chins up gang still time left ,interesting model discussion
