I don't think any of England will get any snow on Tuesday Night into Wednesday Morning with the exception of the highest ground in the North of England. The forecast for my area two days ago was persistent light snow on Wednesday Morning with temperatures reaching only 2C max with a feels like temperature not going over -2C and a -6C feels like temp on Thursday. Now the forecast is Light rain showers on Wednesday Afternoon with temperatures reaching 6C and reel feel at 0C.
Certainly shows a DOWNGRADE. Not looking to any snow because the chances look so small.

Very Windy Saturday & Windier Bonfire Night Predicted
It is currently Very windy with wind speeds recorded at 32 mph recorded at Wellesbourne Airport and gusts beyond 45 mph, Unsurprisingly windier than the St. Jude's Storm for my area. Today is not that much less windier than the St. Jude's Storm in several other areas, as a maximum Wind Gust of 84 mph has been recorded at Mumbles Head, South Wales. Apart from the Wind there are not many showers falling in my area, however a heavy shower is slowly approaching.
The Met Office weather warnings seem fairly inaccurate and not high enough. I would say an Amber Wind Warning would be necessary for the South West coasts and I would expect a Yellow wind warning for the Midlands, parts of North England, Wales and the South West. Also the Met Office issued an Amber Wind Warning last week unnecessarily for some areas. Just proves that they do get it wrong.
-
This Storm was Awful here, Awful in the way that hardly any wind hit, however now a river near me is under a flood warning, so yeah i suppose it was a storm but without the wind here.
-
Oh, so the action has finally begun down South? Well here it is still raining, heavy at times, but, the wind is like only 5mph stronger than earlier??? But I can see the Wind Speeds rising more northwards.
-
The 'storm' does not seem to be as bad as it was expected to be, although winds are picking up gradually. Clearly my area is now at the centre of the storm, the winds are basically 1mph, then a rapid rise to up to 35mph winds.
-
XC Weather shows all the stormy winds to the South West, looks like anywhere inland can only except light winds and breezy gusts.
If this storm doesn't end up causing the slightest disruption to my area which is currently under an Amber Wind Warning, I sure will be criticising the Met Office as they sent me a personal email saying my area is likely to get stormy wind gusts.
-
I don't know whether to believe the predictions from the Weather Charts, Weather Videos or the Online Weather Forecasts, they all show different predictions for my area tonight into tomorrow and they all got the wind speeds from earlier on today incorrect. They forecasted 18mph winds today and the wind speeds peaked 28mph with gusts reaching 45mph, this however caused very little damage here, however no weather warnings were issued for today. Tomorrow an Amber Wind Warning is in force for my area and all areas to the South and slightly to the North of me, however the Met Office predictions show wind speeds only reaching 25mph here and gusts at 45mph which is quite a rise from the earlier prediction of 18mph winds and 38mph gusts. Although I believe the Flood Warnings will probably be necessary here because the River Avon water levels seem fairly high at the moment.
Being in Stratford-Upon-Avon we are not actually very well sheltered from wind, however strong winds are rare here. I have added the current forecasting differences below from several weather sites and other sources, only showing the strongest wind predictions and rain predictions.
NetWeather: 26mph Wind, 53mph Gusts, 5mm Rain
Met Office: 25mph Wind, 45mph Gusts, Heavy Rain Mainly
ACCU: 20mph Wind, 45mph Gusts, 20mm Rain
Zoover: Force 3 Winds
WeatherOnline: 14mph Winds, 19mph Gusts (!)
Weather Channel: 19mph Winds, 40mph Gusts
MetCheck: 15mph Winds, 30mph Gusts
XC: 15mph Winds, 32mph Gusts
BBC Weather Video: 80mph Gusts
NONE of these are accurate!

Some very heavy downpours here, turning into just persistent heavy rain. Dissapointing lightning, only heard one very loud rumble of thunder to the south of me. Rain getting heavier as I am typing, no thunder now though.
-
The lightning detectors show lightning very near to my area, I have not heard any thunder whatsoever today, although heavy showers are pushing into my area now.
-
Count me in! The storms are avoiding my area, I might as well count the storms that DONT hit my area, well actually I will!
-
Wow? I never thought anything would happen today? Looks like I missed it all? Looking at the map all the storms are west of me! Well looks like the storm shield is working!
-
Today was better than yesterday! Caught 2 showers but no thunder.
Tommorow looks intresting, the CAPE should reach 550j/kg with an LI of -2 and showers are forecasted so looks like a thunderstorm may pass by, unless the storm shield decides to push the storms away, I will be keeping track where the storms go tommorow!!!
This looks like the last chance to actually catch a storm, Thursday looks sunny/cloudy for all the UK except Northern Ireland or Northern Scotland, if there was rain it could have bought some fairly big storms! East England might catch one on Friday. No rain likely next week
-
All I can say is today was extremely disappointing for Stratford-Upon-Avon. The showers kept north to me the whole day, however the forecast did say there would be a few areas that would avoid all the showers, it was unfortunate it was my area. Saw some good distant cloud formations which was a positive.
-
Well that was the worst day of thunderstorms, not only that but places to the east, west, north and even south of me got a lot more thunderstorms!
FUMING! -
Wow, that is seriously just what I hoped for, never got it though!
Finally I see a cloud that is only capable of producing a weak thunderstorm if any! Make this my best thunderstorm today!
-
Definitely in the club after today, I was in the center of all of the storms, the thunder could not even be heard from my area when there was strikes only in Coventry! A 30 second shower was the most I got, not good at all, but still classed as a "thundershower" because there was one tiny rumble of thunder.
-
I'm asking for one storm before 12am, lets hope something amazing happens such as the rain decides to suddenly push south
, and not fizzle out in the South Midlands! -
That is it! One storm hit earlier on bringing one distant thunder rumble and a 1 minute rain shower. Today has been the most unluckiest day of the year.
ACCU Weather claims its snowing! I mean WOW, its 16C!
-
How do all of these storms/showers manage to miss my area? I just cant work it out?
-
I dont understand why this detector says there has been strikes in my area? I have not heard a single rumble of thunder since 12pm!
-
W O W, Warwickshire is missing nearly every storm... SO ANNOYING, and theres none on there way here... AAAAHHHHHHHH, its like yesterday!!!
-
Whats going on here, all of the strikes are going round Warwickshire???
I have only heard one distant strike today, this is ridicoulous! Yesterday I missed every single storm, but today?
-
Blue skies in Stratford, a big cloud to the east of me and thats all, no distant thunder?? Whats going on!
-
Nothing too special yet today. I will note all the showers that hit me:
Shower 1 - Very rapid heavy rain shower with one small rumble of thunder. (2/10)
Distant cloud but bringing distant thunder
Another cloud, not much activity really.
, and not fizzle out in the South Midlands!

The Snow Risk chances have decreased for much of England in the last hour. Earlier on much of Western England had a snow risk of 90% however now the highest snow risk is lower and much less widespread.
