  1. Well, I was woken up my a loud crack of thunder at 2am, and knew, without liking out of the window that it would only be rain last night. Thankfully (no offence to anyone) everyone else got rain too!

    So now even next weeks fun and games have been taken away from us? This is not nice. At the beginning of this week I had visions of ice days, snow showers... And nothing of the sort is going to happen. Why do we do this to ourselves year on year? Roll on summer please. I want to be able to sit in the garden. I can not wait to get away on our holiday in July.

    Rant over :(

     

    Lol this time next week we will all be looking for the next Cold spell at +240 hours ....We will never change in here ha ! 

  2. Wow - yes - looks like a classic!

     

    Actually - or is it just a secondary low which has developed from the "shortwave" shown at around the same position on the GFS 6Z

    Not sure but I expect it will enhance showers later running down the Irish sea , good to see Snow now falling for Andy , the Snow line must be starting to move further South . 

  3. Monday still looking a little dodgy for us IMO , that Warm sector goes right over our area during the event , So we nee to hope that as the low moves SE it pushes the precipitation back West later ... At the minute , Id say Snow to Rain and then back to Snow , but any further Northward movement of the low and it could be Rain from the start . In situations like this the track of the low is very important , too far South and you lose the precipitation , to far North and its rain for the SW . We could also do with initial precipitation beating the Warmer air . 

     

    All in all , i'd say 50% of seeing anything significant . 

  4. i still wouldn't write off seeing some Snow tonight into tomorrow , 850's are -6 / -7 , due points are -1/-2 and the dam line is at least 528 over most of us , Showers look heavy and plentiful , given the strong Cold flow . I have seen it snow in a lot more marginal conditions than this .. I expect most places will at least see falling Snow in the heavy showers tonight ... 

  5. :rofl: Until my dying day, "will it snow in carlisle?" And "will it snow in cardiff" will always live with me

    Will probably miss both , but you can be a 100% sure it will snow on Narborough Road , our old haunting ground lol . 

     

    Im now South of the M4 , Your North , let the battle begin .

  6. Well Weston-Super-mare to Bristol looks ok as far as GFS is concerned , 528 line covering these areas , Tomorrow afternoon through Friday afternoon . Although wouldn't expect any settled snow , Weston side of the a370 . although looks pretty good chance of seeing Snow falling as the precipitation maps look like being quite heavy Showers over the area during tomorrow night . 

  7. Good model agreement now, I expect some upgrades will start to show in respect to the uppers , which don't look Cold enough for a directly sourced Northerly , Although the trough to the East depending on it's position , may moderate 850's slightly . With the Azores far enough West it also would leave open the option of small disturbances spreading down the West of the uk , giving some frontal Snow. Exciting times .

  8. If we get any further corrections West , r.e. the progression of the front Tue/Wed , we  will be lucky to get it past Birmingham . Although i imagine it may increase chances of some Snow into parts of the West country . Wednesdays front had looked stronger on previous runs , but now it looks like it will struggle with Eastwards progression more than Tuesday. On the bright side Gem and Navgem still take it across the country , but the resolution isn't as high as the new GFS . As for the rest of the 12z , it looks far to progressive to me , taking into account that Cold block of air to the East , and I'm pretty sure the Atlantic will struggle to get through more than shown , maybe setting up some sort of battle ground situation would be my bet right now .
