Apologies I get frustrated.
To quote from @fergieweather: Yes, it's been consistently modelled: this occlusion engages colder (<400 m WBFL) air as it trundles south tonight; some snow thus expected down to about 200 m as it runs across uplands of N England and beyond to N Wales/N Midlands. From 200-300m, perhaps a couple of cm of snow in places; but several cm likely up above 400 m modelled by UKV, such as across the Peak District.
It is strange he has not commented on London, SE & EA where actually it is not as marginal...I suppose it is whether the precip survives the trundle S and the time of day.
Well the precip looks to make its way towards our region ideally before 9am as higher WBFL move in from the west, WBFL- the height above sea level where the temperature is at freezing point modelled by GFS is <100m WBFL at 6am for your part of SE Essex.... you would have no trouble seeing snow with that.
I definitely think the hills might get a light covering the downs ect.
If you get frustrated take it out on your Mrs please ...not me
But thank you very much for an explanation...... although I will have a look at where is Essex we have any place above 100m!!

Well even the experts can get caught out of course..
I can always make camp up one of the local hills tomorrow morning, take a flask of strong tea with me, Shooters Hill & Biggin Hill are both pretty local. But at least my little ramp today has given Elvis some hope of seeing a flake or two.

Chill peeps, I know this winter has been bad, we are a family in here a team not enemies! Here is a detailed look at tomorrow morning
We will use 6-10am as the time zone
First off PPN... Most important right?
Net weather model.. yes NNM... Yes Arpege NO EURO4 yes and no bit hit and miss..
GFS Yes but this is not a high res
TEMP
NNM is cold but only till around 5am after it;s too warm this is a similar story with the net weather high res
Based on the above do I think someone will see a flake? Yes but if your around 125m + Will it settle? No way...
Temps and dew points
Thank you!!

See the above if you have eyes
@Surrey well I don't really care, it would just be nice to see in this rather void winter.
proof is in the pudding Elvis.. Could end up a bust for all I know. However the parameters are there for snow to fall to low levels especially London/North Kent northwards.
As illustrated by that WBFL chart snowray provided.
I have eyes............. but some seriously un-trained eyes so if you wouldn't mind awfully explaining what I am actually meant to be looking at it would be a great help to me!!!

It has snowed in April around here with these sort of uppers/dew points, so I can't see why it cannot happen in early February. This week is historically the coldest part of the year, well it should be anyway.
SHOULD

I really wouldn't be getting any hopes up re tonight's rain:
Regional forecast for London & South East England
Very windy and cold.
Today:
Staying windy but with cloud and patchy rain clearing through the morning to leave a largely fine and dry afternoon with sunny spells, though it will feel chilly. Maximum Temperature 8°C.
Tonight:
Winds continuing to ease with long clear periods at first allowing a rural grass frost in places. Clouding over later from the north but most parts will stay dry. Minimum Temperature 1°C.
Wednesday:
A fairly cloudy morning is expected with outbreaks of rain. During the afternoon most parts will become dry possibly with some bright or sunny periods developing from the north. Maximum Temperature 8°C.
Looks like good old lamp post watching with a cold beer tonight!!!
As for the weekend and beginning of the week...I think my weather sensors will be coming down to keep them safe "IF" we get those predicted gusts, but as always plenty of spanners to be thrown about still

12z rolling out.. Stay safe folk up North looks like it might be the souths turn later this week into the weekend
Will it?.... you say different in regional thread matey I am a bit confused although it doesn't take a lot (Please don't take that the wrong way though!!!)
I have kinda cast my extremely un-trained eye and notice it getting a bit breezy sunday but nothing much else.
Gonna be a nasty one up north tonight and into the wee hours...stay safe everybody
