Yes you can see the wind change to the south of our region here.....http://www.xcweather.co.uk/. Observations say heavy snow in Loftus,
Just up the road in Saltburn its been snowing on and off all evening. Its odd though, the snow looks like shards of glass sticking out of whatever its settled on. I know its been coming down very wet - almost like falling slush but this is a new one on me.
-
I think it's the thicknesses which are the problem, and these are even less favourable as the day goes on. The dusting has partly melted here in Keswick, although we are getting flurries again this morning.
Over the last few hours the snow has gone from small grainy stuff to small flakes, it looks like its getting better, not worse.
-
The snow falling in Middlesbrough for the past half hour is very showery, this needs to intensify surely?
Here in Saltburn its been like that all day but the line now hitting us which is very clear on the radar is a lot heavier and seems to be heading inland...
-
Yes there looking fairly intense now
Wonder if the wind is going to shift to the east and push them further inland
Suspect it will eventually, i'm about 500ft from the sea here - not had much settle this AM.
-
Think that's an intensity error. If you notice, the heaviest areas also intensify at exactly the same time in the SW frontal band, just as they were gradually getting lighter over the previous few frames.
I did think that, zoomed out and the increase is shown all over the country.
Wondered what possible event could cause all showers nationally to increase in intensity at the same time! Still, some might be valid!
-
Just noticed how much all the showers seem to have intensified on the 1245 radar update.
We've had a few showers this morning and each one has seemed more potent than the last.
-
Quite heavy here in Saltburn for the last 45 minutes. Rain had washed most of it away but got a good half cm lying now...
-
2010 wouldn't have been that far off though, surely?
Was the back end of November if memory serves.
We've seen some snow and hail down the road here in Saltburn. On and off since sunset.

My ideas for you citizenx
A overview here could be useful
http://theweatherout...eather-forecast
Following what people are observing on threads like
http://forum.netweat...21-autumn-2012/ http://www.cloudyski...php?f=20&t=1383
Checking a almanac for you area i.e
http://uk.weather.co...fromSearch=true
Others may have other ideas as i'm still new to this site.
Great, thank you, i shall take a look at these!

Have been reading this thread with interest and started wondering if there was a guide to autumn and winter (with a UK perspective) outlining what happens and when... some kind of narrative detailing what we would observe here (leaves changing, days shortening, temperatures dropping, winds increasing, first signs of frost, snow and ice, etc) and their causes.
Something which tells us novices who want to follow the start of autumn and winter this year what to look for.
Anyone?

Metoffice have now extended their yellow warning area to cover most or Northern England now and Scotland... www.metoffice.gov.uk
Thats a stroke of genuis from the boffins at the Met. Updating an alert for NOW during rush-hour. It was quite clear two hours ago this was going to affect a wider area.
-
Moderate rain on and off here too. Still, got to hear some lovelt rumbles of thunder from a reasonably close cell to the SW earlier this afternoon, so despite no direct hits, it hasn't been a bad three days
Still an outside chance for the rest of this afternoon into the early evening. I expect they'll die off a little sooner today though.
The Met Office have an amber warning for the North East, Yorkshire and Humber running from 1400 to 2200 so there's still a chance.
We've got something heading in now which looks threatening but seems everything has died out as its hit our area today. Over the last few days we've basically had a couple of rumbles from one cell and a bit of rain. Thats it!
-
At the moment I think tomorrow will have some hefty showers but nothing on the scale of yesterday and potentially today. By mid week it will quietening down as high pressure takes hold. How long this holds will be open to question but should start to break down into the weekend with hot humid air spreading NW from the continent and interacting with a low pressure off to the SW of the British isles. Potential for some violent storms especially for Southern and Midland counties.
Sounds good, here's hoping this afternoon produces something special, been a bit quiet round these parts - which is typical as i used to live in Newcastle and didn't see a single storm for years after the 2005 monster.. have missed those there the last few weeks!
-
What are peoples thoughts on the effects of this in the Teeside area?
We've avoided most of the worst weather of recent weeks, is that about to change?
-
Could be a good day up here today. I'll be working outside for much of the day so will see any thunderstorms coming!
I'm not far away from you so will be keeping a close eye on events too!
-
Great shot, could you just stick you location in your profile so we know roughly where it was taken please?
Thanks, yeah.. fair point. Done! For clarity, i'm on the north east (England) coast.
-
Admittedly, not storm pics but very changeable out there, managed to catch this a few mins ago.
-
Yeah I could here thunder here although think it was further up the coast towards Northumberland. Whats it like down there now?
Morning! The main electrification appears to be more northerly over the open spaces (you could look for a Morpeth cam) but you could search for a Middlesbrough cam just incase the blob further south to me makes it across Middlesbrough electrified?
The storm didn't last long but is seemingly intensifying again. No thunder heard for the last 20 mins or so but its very grey and misty.
-
Oh my god the rain os torrential its horrendous and yeah thunder heard!!
Flash flooding everywhere now its a disgrace to be woken to that this morning I have to drive to Middlesbrough and was banking on a dryish day until tonight!
Woken here in Saltburn in the last few minutes by a huge rumble of thunder. Storm has reached us although it seems to have calmed slightly in the last few minutes.
-
Wet and windy night here and the pressure is dropping fast currently 967mb.
Check out this trendline from a buoy northwest of Scotland
http://www.ndbc.noaa...&time_label=GMT
964 and dropping like a stone.
-
Really kicked off in Darlo about an hour ago, many flashes and loud, prolonged rumbles of thunder.
Still seeing occasional flash to the North.
-
There is a huge black cloud over the house (I am in Slatyford area of Newcastle at present) and I am watching the base literally start to rotate it looks amazing like, first time I have ever seen anything like that...
About 12 years ago i watch a small tornado form like that in Gosforth. It didn't touch the ground but was no doubt what it was...
-
Is that about your 11th or 12th this year? Ridiculous now! :lol:
Give us some down here! :lol:
To be fair, they've hardly been very big "storms". Been lots of rain but i've barely seen a flash of lightning in years around here.
You've missed nothing really! Mind you, its getting very dark again here.
-
Here in Newcastle the cloud has really bulked up over the last hour. I'd be stunned if there were not a few flashes of lightning today.

Last week they had a 85% of storms here up to and including the day they were meant to happen. Wasn't a drop of rain within 100 miles!
