Phil Avery:
"A slow burner, but Kent up through London, through the midlands towards the NW"
"SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL possibly up to 10cm"
I'm sure more changes are likely but compared to yesterday's washout this is a massive upgrade!
-
No graphical representation anywhere is being reflected by what either those presenting them are saying, or what certain people on here are excitedly ramping up!
Besides, surely given the amount of rain that's projected to fall in advance, the accumulations of lying snow are going to minimal as the ground will be so wet?
No one is ramping!
The BBC news channel just said significant snow for Kent......?????!!!!???? Who's ramping? The BBC you mean?
Also I suggest you read the latest Meto warnings.
A possible 10cm of snow for Kent, Essex and the midlands!!
-
Latest BBC weather does seem to show pittiful amounts of snow compared to before, im sure it's still likely to change
Yes the graphics didn't really reflect what he was saying!
-
Phil Avery live broadcast just now.
Significant snowfall for Kent!
What a difference a day makes, yesterday it was the north Midlands for heavy snow and Kent just rain!
-
Updated Meto warnings.
Yellow warnings covering London, Kent, herts, Cambridgeshire etc.
Not so good areas to the SW of London.
This will change again anyway!
-
was probably north and east of london
No he actually said East London, which is rather weird at this range!
Lots of changes to come, so to point point an area for the Heavier snow is a little premature at this stage!
-
Matt Taylor just said that the SE particularly East London could get more than the rest of the UK.
Some areas could see 2-4cm others could see 12cm
Then others - not much at all
Still lots of uncertainty

Hi Coast
As far as I know, the NMM is fed the same starting data as the GFS, just at a higher resolution, and so the two tend to show the same sort of outcome. I have always found the GFS (and consequently the GFS) is usually a degree or two too warm on the dew points (vs reality), and so the above could end up being the worst case scenario.
Certainly judging by the the overnight trends, most of this region is now into play. The trade off being the precipitation isnt as heavy as projected previously. Currently though we appear to be below the pivot, which could provide many hours of snowfall through tomorrow night and into Monday
We don't want to see things move much further SW from here though - lets hope the models have finally got this nailed

Yes, just watched the live BBC weather forecast.
It's our region that looks in for the most snow, completely different to this time yesterday. The graphics on the weather map showed no ppn above Birmingham for later tonight into Monday morning.
Matt Taylor did say "this could be slightly further north" or "slightly further south"
He said to expect 3-5cm of snow
Hopefully the models don't start moving this low to drastically today, at the moment I think the track it's taking will deliver for us.

BBC weather graphics.
Snow starting at 5pm tomorrow from Brighton through to London. Didn't go any further.
What a turnaround from this time yesterday!
-
Nice 18z tonight. Increases the snow chances.
Hopefully this continues tomorrow
-
Yep had loudest clap of thunder here too, bout an hour ago, was going to pick the kids up and only just got in now to post it, massive downpour too, lasted 2mins and then nothing!
I know, almost a surreal moment.
The lightning out towards Loughton way, was so bright, lit up the whole sky!
-
Really? Two miles up the road nothing!
Yes it's very isolated. I'm in between Epping and Loughton.

Go here if you want to talk about weather the other side of the world:

Come on Dexter. What's it say.

The sky just lit up with sheet lightning and a 3 seconds later a huge clap of thunder....! Heavy rain, but am avidly lampost watching.
Yep just witnessed this!
How loud was that thunder? Couldn't believe it
-
Jesus Christ......
The loudest thunder here - dog going mental!
-
Correct LeighD. Hence my smiley at the end of my post. Lost on some it would seem
Sorry I didn't realise you were joking!
Anyone who is by the TV try and catch the Beeb forecast on bbc1 shortly.
It should be updated to the UKMO 12z
-
Yes mate. Do you know if there are anymore live updates due?
I was going to post the BBC evening news forecast at 6:25pm.
Not so sure anymore, I thought I was giving info to the thread but it seems I'm just annoying members by posting the updates!
-
I hope not
Press the ignore button if you don't like my input in this thread.
-
Dexter will you be updating us on every BBC forecast tonight?
LOL
Every new live forecast yes! Is that ok?
I thought it would be of interest in here.
-
Susan Powell live broadcast 10 minutes ago.
"Midlands and Northern England in firing line for heavy snow"
Lucky buggers
-
Does anyone know how the GEM model performed running up to the last cold spell with regards to snow ppn?
-
Sadly true Coast. I used to think of this regional thread as a safe and sane haven. Not any more though.
Why what's wrong with this thread?
It's just members expressing their views. If we all had the same opinion it would be rather boring don't you think?

Yep, there's actually been two different forecasts since then!
Matt Taylor was the first to say about the SE receiving heavy snow!
I feel if things continue this way, Kent/london/south Essex could do very well out of this
