No snow in Leeds or Rochdale

*UPADATE* So its now certain britain will be battered by snow this weekend from Friday night onwards. This is system one of the weekend. Very heavy snowfall for all of England bar the far SW and south eastern corner but snow is still likely there. For Ireland that snow/rain boundry and for friday and Saturday the rain wins out with some snow on higher ground though it will be fairly dry and cold. From saturday night onwards (system two) things get both interesting and hard to figure. But as mentioned a major storm system is pulling in off the SW coast of Ireland and heading For Ireland and Uk. Both met offices, ireland and UK are not mentioning anything about sunday on as you may notice. This is probably because they know it could be very severe and they want to be 100 % certain before issuing this. Its one to watch and one that could potentialy be dangerous. for the forseable future it looks to be very cold so please take care of your elderly neighbours and try to feed the wildlife.

If it collides then Yorkshire will be in legendary snow territory - 18th January 2013 could become a famous snow date! is it true we could get snow like in 1947?

Will the snow be enough to cause the M62 to close? or trains to stop?

One run is reporting nothing for Leeds

Any snow for Halifax Leeds or Huddersfield?

Looks like the Snow has been cancelled for Northern England! I have just checked the NAE and UKMO models on Weatheronline and 0 mm of snow or rain !! nothing at all - DRY ON FRIDAY!

Which computer models are people using what time is the GFS 12Z released? What is the statistical probability of snow tonight and tomorrow in Rochdale?

What is this about an upgrade of the snow?

Help im confused!

This is all very confusing! From Heavy snow to light snow and I dont know what to do - drive to Leeds from Rochdale or get the train to work Will the Pennines between Milnrow and Leeds get much snow on Friday morning and afternoon? Any snow around Manchester, Warrington, Chester, Wrexham?

A few spots in the southeast of England could reach 30-31C on Sunday - which could surpass the hottest day of the year so far, which was on the 25th of July, when St James's Park in London recorded 30.7C. This mini-heatwave is courtesy of very warm air being sucked north from France and Spain today and over the weekend ahead of an area of low pressure to the west out in the Atlantic. This hot and humid air should be pushed away east on Monday. This same warm air pushing north today is also moisture laden and a slow-moving weather front straddling the west today will lift this moist air and bring some rather wet weather today across many western and northern areas. There is the risk of some intense thundery downpours in places so we could see a couple of inches of rain fall by the end of the day - which may lead standing surface water and a risk of localised flooding in places - making driving conditions hazardous. Elsewhere, after a grey start across central southern England, SE England and E Anglia, skies will clear to bring very warm sunshine for the rest of the day, with temperatures reaching 27C in London. Thundery downpours will continue into the night across Wales and northern England, before easing by dawn, some bits of showery rain across Scotland and Northern Ireland too. Dry with clear spells towards SE England. A warm and sticky night for many areas, 17-18C the lows widely, perhaps no lower than 20C in towns and cities towards the SE of England. Then for Saturday, the front across Wales and northern England overnight will bring some cloud and a few showers across these areas to start the day, this front will weaken into a band of patchy cloud drifting towards eastern areas. But for many areas it will be a dry day day with warm or very warm sunny spells, with temperatures reaching 20-23C west of the weakening front, hot and humid east of the front where we could see 26-29C towards the SE. Sunday perhaps hotter still across SE England, as already mentioned, though there is a small risk of a few thunderstorms developing from the afternoon heat. Further north and west, another pulse of heavy thundery rain or storms look to move NE across Wales and northern England as the old weather front across central parts reactivates and pushes north again. Dry and sunny across Scotland, but fresher up here. Turning fresher everywhere early next week.

A muggy, moist and damp start to the day for much of England and Wales. Heavy periods of rain will be affecting much of southwest England, Wales, northwest England and western Scotland, some of this thundery in places. Patchier rain through central and eastern parts of England and drier over Ireland. It is likely to be wet across western and southern Wales as well as southwest England throughout the day, although probably turning drier across Scotland and southern England, where a few bright spells may come through. Highs at 27C in any sunshine in southern England, 17C in western Scotland. Saturday A south to southwest flow through Saturday bringing some hot weather across southern and eastern England with lots of sunshine. A cold front lies through northeast England, the Midlands and into southwest England and eastern Wales bringing cloud and some outbreaks of rain here, although this tending to become light as the front breaks up in the afternoon. Dry for west Wales and northwest England, probably for Northern Ireland too although showers affecting Scotland. Highs at 31C in the southeast, 19C in western Scotland. Sunday An old front is still lying somewhere through England and Wales on Sunday, probably towards the west. This brings broken cloud and some bright spells, most of the cloud probably in the west. The best sunshine is likely across central and southeast England where it will be very warm again. Dry across northwest England and west Wales with some sunny spells, and mainly dry in Scotland too, although a few showers in central areas. Heavier showers may affect Ireland. High around 29C in southeast England, 19C in western Scotland. Monday 20/8/12 Low pressure remains to the west of Ireland through Monday. A slack, mainly south to southeast airflow covers the rest of the country bringing much dry weather with it. There is the chance of some showers affecting East Anglia and southeast England, a few of them heavy. Scattered showers for Ireland and Scotland too. Highs at 29C in East Anglia, 19C in western Scotland. Tuesday 21/8/12 A ridge of high pressure is maintained across most of the country on Tuesday. This is going to be bringing plenty of dry weather and sunny spells with it. There will be the threat of some showers further north and west, with western Scotland and Ireland most prone to these. An odd shower cannot be ruled out elsewhere. Highs at 17 to 28C.

Heavy rain in Leeds at 09.38. Humid. 18 degrees.

18 degrees today in Manchester the front has stalled over Northern England

Light rain commenced in Leeds at 8.44am. Very warm,

GFS FOR 31ST AUGUST ON WETTERZENTRALE LOOKS VERY POSITIVE - HIGH PRESSURE OVER UK

The GFS is very confusing as it seems to alter on a daily basis - one moment low pressure to dominate next a weak ridge of high pressure. The models beyond 8 days seem very mixed and uncertain. The trend is definitely for autumn to arrive though !

What is autumn looking like so far?
