    How come it's forecast to head SW, when the radar sequence shows the shower cells moving somewhere between W and WSW? I think this is the problem with FutureRadar, it seems to incorrectly guess the direction showers are moving by about 22.5 degrees.

    It's getting nearer! 2240: 2140:

    Abolutely brilliant 18Z FAX from UKMO! Looks like the triple-point is further west?

    Will be interesting to see how tonights half-hourly weather forecasts on News 24 deal with this further-north-than-expected area of showers over East Anglia. Looking good for many southern counties, perhaps even clipping into South Wales. All it takes is just one heavy shower lasting one hour and - Voila! - we have an inch of snow on the ground in Bristol.

    Makes me wonder what on earth will tomorrow evening bring, bearing in mind that's the 'extreme' event the weather forecasters are talking about?
  6. Thundersquall
    Just ENE/NE of B1 postcode is some snow I think. 1 to 4mm/hr rate rainfall equivalent?
  7. Thundersquall
    Weymouth could be affected by that line of snow that's clipping along the south coast, and roughly extending as far west as Portsmouth just now.
  8. Thundersquall
    A very rough guess from looking at the one-hour animation on Netweather Extra 5-minute radar, would be in four hours from now. It's certainly shifting at a fair rate! Therefore somewhere around 2am? However, this will certainly decay over land. I'm not promising anything at all, just looks a direct hit to me!

    If that area of snow affecting as far north as Cambridge doesn't reach Bristol in the direction it's travelling, I'll eat my hat!
  10. Thundersquall
    Wow, lots of snow so far it seems. Dread to think what tomorrow evening's snow's going to be like?
  11. Thundersquall
    Sometimes, it's precipitation falling that's detected by radar but doesn't actually reach the ground.
  12. Thundersquall
    So .... as it's snowing heavily in Cambridge, that surely bodes well for me in Bristol as I assume the area of showers will keep moving in the same direction.
  13. Thundersquall
    Shower activity has definitely increased over Essex and Suffolk it seems. This should slide ENE-WSW to the north of the band affecting London.
  14. Thundersquall
    Why does "FutureRadar" always appear to protract the movement of the showers wrong? Cells are moving E/ENE - W/WSW, but Future Radar shows a cyclonically spinning area of showers over East Englia.
  15. Thundersquall
    *Definitely* worth keeping an watchful eye on developments over East Anglia now. Reaches as far north as the border of Norfolk and Suffolk I reckon. New area of ppn is really getting its act together - and moving our way?
  16. Thundersquall
    It'll be over in a flash as it's a very small shower area. I like the new area of showers over Essex and Suffolk. Wonder if these will move over the Greater Bristol area?
  17. Thundersquall
    Rejuvenated area of precip forming over Essex and sothern parts of Suffolk. Looks good at the top of this precipitation area is to my ENE, and I think the precipitation is moving in a direction just east of ENE.
  18. Thundersquall
    This looks good as well I think. Just needs to nudge a teensy-weensy bit further west at 1800 and Bristol's in the firing-line for snow. 1500: 1800: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/broadband/bb_...rue&bbcws=2 Check out around 2m:00s on this forecast - Bristol is included for about 2.5 hours in area of more significant snow Monday evening. This may be the triple point?
  19. Thundersquall
    Looks like there's a bit of heavier stuff mixed-in. Maybe you'll get a bit more in the next 15 minutes. Then that's it until probably later in the night.
  20. Thundersquall
    Are the showers meant to have got this far west by now, or have they taken the weather forecasters by surprise?
  21. Thundersquall
    I guess it's snowing or about to snow over north Bristol and surrounding area - Bradley Stoke / Stoke Gifford / Filton / Yate? I am at a Stokes Croft Internet Cafe at moment but live in Henleaze, and this shower is getting perilously close to my house.
  22. Thundersquall
    Just moved from basement of Internat cafe to ground floor so I can see outside. It will be interesting to see what's left of that snow shower to our NE / ENE.
  23. Thundersquall
    Just wondered is there any chance these showers are more potent than forecast this early in the cold spell? Could they perhaps be more widespread than that thin ENE-WSW line shown on the weather maps for Monday (before the really serious stuff spreads in)?
  24. Thundersquall
    Must be some significant snow just SE of WC1?
