In all seriousness keep an eye out for some strange skies tomorrow. Have seen loads of pictures from Spain, France, Switzerland of the Sahara Dust in the pictures of clouds. If this makes it north with the low pressure pushing it towards the Uk could be some strange colours of landscapes. Think Nick F touched on this possibility the other day

Never going to get marginality with a true Scandinavia and Russian sourced Easterly. Watch those Dewpoints over the next 7 days they will be so continental and dry i doubt they will rise above 0c again until maybe next weekend and even then if the Scandi High strengthens as models are showing I would bet it might be even longer. Just dont touch any light switches or you might get a spark lol

Take no notice of that The Yellow Warning also mentions the chance of snow amounts upto 15cm so the snow wont just stop from Chelmsford to Rayleigh (10 miles up the A130) so Chelmsford has just a good a chance as Rayleigh from the first bout Streamer Wise Rayleigh favoured over Chelmsford due to that small amount of Miles further south

I suppose it depends on what you yourself percieve as warranting a Red Warning. If you think its ok to drive in total whiteout conditions with zero visibility and 40mph blizzard and not put a Red Warning out then you may have some super Lewis Hamilton driving skills, but most of the public in the SE of England will not have the skills to drive in those conditions and hence they warn for the danger to life. Having driven in a Haboob south of Phoenix a few times I can tell you your heart skips a beat when the Visibility goes down to the edge of your bonnet whilst doing 60mph. Lets just see what happens later before dismissing the notions of red warnings being dished out namby pamby

A lot of the Impact is dependent on 2 crucial things though hence the holding from Meto 1. How Heavy will the initial Precip Band be as it approaches from the East and how far west will it spread 2. How will the wind vectors allign when the Low Pressure pulls away and will it be favourable for streamers which will have even more impact than the frontal band I would not make that call until the event is started if it was me

I dont think some realise just how close we are now to a Red Alert, just 1 tick away on the Matrix now Red Alerts tend to be Issued as the event is happening or things are so firmed up just before the event is started. Some Instances of this over the years were the very first ever one in South Devon when it was apparant things were much worse than expected and loss of life was possible, or a few hours before the event like the Snow event in 2009. I know its a Sunday and Lockdown but if Blizzard conditions are accompanying snow there really will not be any visibility on the roads and hence a danger to life if travelling. Yellow Warnings now extended to Wednesday as well. I know some will mock this post as over exagerating but we are very close to the top upgrade now, there is a big difference to 50cm of Snow on a Scottish Mountain and Blizzards in heavily populated areas with lots of road traffic. Hence why its hard to get a Red Alert on Scottish Mountains
