    East Anglia & Three Counties Regional Discussion

    That area in the North Sea is going to encounter Northerly Winds over the land soon so should push straight south into Kentshire! Might clip areas like Ipswich, Clacton, Shoeburyness and enter Kent near Herne Bay etc

    wish the ones coming in off the wash would hit northerlies....seem to be tracking slightly away from me even though only 10 miles to the north

    Will try and do a full update after the 18z's are out, but this is looking like the situation to me at present

    All Snow:

    Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, North Essex/Herts...possibly into Beds, though more uncertain there.

    At the moment, I would place the almost definite dividing line along the A120....with the more uncertain area being between the A120 and M25

    That is with regards to tomorrow late afternoon/evening.

    Into the early hours and through Tuesday (possibly into Wednesday then too) we are likely looking at some pretty frequent snow showers across the whole region

    SK

    do you still think we will see significant showers as the models seem to lessen the strength of the wind?

    It's either good news or bad news for many if they want the snow to arrive. I'll start with the good news. If you live on the Eastern coast of the UK or live Along the Eastern half of East Anglia then you will be glad to know you'll be in p...rime position for a significant dumping of snow. Unfortunately the bad news is that the further west & south you go, the more likely that any snow will be increasingly sleet or rain.

    Of course as ever things are subject to change but as the event is only tomorrow, this chart will only be modified slightly, either upgraded or downgraded.

    The problem many will face tomorrow through the West and extreme south is that the 'warm sector' of the low pressure will travel down the spine of the country. Warmer air will establish itself to the west of the centre and to the south of the centre of the low pressure. which would be anywhere from Oxford West or South London southward.

    A 'warm sector' in Leymans Terms is basically a pocket of warm air that travels with a low pressure system, the warm air in that pocket rises into the upper atmosphere causing any potential snowfall to be mixed out.

    Remember snowfall is very hard to forecast and there could just be a few surprises for many tomorrow, stay safe!

    No. Look on the Net Weather V6 radar. Click on Europe view as its not currently showing on the UK view.

    hmm interesting...looks like 2 areas converging on Norfolk, although the one out in the North sea looks like it will track south a bit much, turned the animation on and it is intensifying as it nears us :) interesting times ahead, and the radar is great value :)

    Live BBC forecast with Jay wynee just now:

    Tonight- Snow fizzling out as the front moves through but still possible to get 2cm

    Tomorrow - anywhere north of the Thames snow setting in from around Midday.

    Tomorrow night - another spell of snow drifting its way through the SE of England (no rain)

    Lots to be positive about.

    anywhere I can watch this?? what channel was it on?

    Anyone any idea what the criteria is for 'disruptive snow'. Sounds very like dumbed down language unless it means something a certain amount over a certain time period? Or is it anti-social snow?

    Think they mean A.S.B.O snow.....i'm guessing they mean what disrupts public transport??? so i'm guessing there doesn't need to be much of the white stuff for that to happen...however it would be interesting to know if there is a set criteria for it to be classed as disruptive??

    True, but with all the changes we've seen in the past week, I'd just advise some caution. Personally, I think the region will do well, but I don't want people disappointed just incase things don't turn out as perfectly as they may have wanted.

    I know what you are saying about setting yourself up for disappointment, but as a newbie, and following the disappointment of December's non starter, I think the set up is a little better this time round, HOWEVER given the period of Shannon Entropy that is much talked about with even the unpredictable being unpredictably unpredictable I guess you could be right and it might do well to watch with caution lol

    It's going to be all about nowcasting throughout the next week, so there's no point getting disappointed, or saying things as if they're set in the stone, the uncertainty is massive, so don't get excited or disappointed just yet.

    I know what you are saying, but I think we are within a reasonable time frame to get excited wouldn't you? Meto amber alert for disruptive snow now within a reasonable time frame, 850's cold enough dewpoint low enough...looking good wouldn't you say, or do you think something different?
