A rinse and repeat of yesterday here a covering over light snow overnight before melting quickly once day light broke And like yesterday we have light snow showers but its not sticking

On a positive note this morning again temperatures should rise slightly from later this weekend for many with the south getting to the dizzy heights of 7c Easter Monday see's highs ranging from 6c to 8c for England and Wales Tuesday see's highs ranging from 5c to 9c Wednesday again see's highs ranging from 6c to 8c with maybe 9c somewhere Precipitation next week will be very low for all so the risk of snow obviously becomes extremely low as well Temperatures remain below normal but a slightly recovery will be welcomed by many

Staying Cold Mostly Settled and Dry http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-app/reports?LANG=en&MENU=weekahead&DAY=20130327

ECM ensemble for the first few days of April

Precipitation over the next 2 weeks is looking very low for all areas so other than showers off the north sea which could blow inland over the next 48 hours there won't be much snow around which to some will be welcome news and others not so This is backed by the models of both GFS and ECM

Same here nothing is falling all quiet so far

A cold Easter Sunday for all

12z ensembles remain cold and dry tonight right through the first week of April

The latest ECM monthly ensemble for Birmingham maintains the dry theme well into April Solid agreement from the GFS short London ensemble to keep temperatures and rainfall below average (this goes as far as April 3rd)

From Matt Hugo on twitter The EC32 is prone to changing frequently so any thing can happen

Yeah always difficult to predict these showers of the north sea though it can come to life at anytime in these situations, parts of NE Scotland look like there seeing some heavier precipitation currently Still what ever it does we aren't looking at anything significant maybe a cm or 2 at best before it melts during the day

I know one of these months or years it may be right

Well not too bad from GFS tonight at least we do see temperatures get to a day time low of around 6c for many next week in England and wales with some southern spots hitting 8c as early as Tuesday Then In FI we have the mild tease back again With a deep low tracking to the UK

By the Easter Monday morning another set of -8 uppers are making there way into northern Scotland But thats as far as they get
