Sooooo.......will it snow?

Would that temperature actually be possible to achieve late August given the correct set up?

Looks good for both of us. Reminds me of the beginning of May 2008. Had a few beasts back then.Also cells Will be moving west of north which will help a lot.
Cheers Chris, yes, the direction which they should be moving, if anything occurs of course has got my attention

Anyone got any thoughts on the potential thundery spells, cape values shown on the charts for the region?

Lashing, and I mean LASHING down with sleet here right now

Mostly overcast here now, not sure if we have hail or frozen rain, definitely ice hitting the windows

right this is chronic.
The most alarming thing is that this photo was actually taken in Wirral.
At the very least... it does look thundery

Snowing here, no breeze at all, albeit fairly light there are some big flakes mixed in, sticking instantly to all surfaces

Thunder and lightning getting closer

Stopped now as the band has now passed over, but left a cover albeit thin, but readily settled whilst it lasted
If this is happening at sea level, with already wet ground and not particularly cold then it can happen anywhere in the region

If Blackpool sea front is getting snow then i'm sure the rest of the north west should be snow too
-
Heavy wet snow in Blackpool
First snowfall at last
-
It was really powder kind of snow that wouldn't compact to build like snowmen, or make snow ball, but the next day seemed to be softer and abled us to do that

Hi Damian
Yes I do remember this spell very well although I was only 14 at the time.
following on from a very cold December 1995, I was in Gran Canaria for 2 weeks beginning of Jan 96 and remember when I got home a few days later think it was a Saturday in mid Jan 96 I woke up to snow cover with snow falling and gusty winds blowing snow about, looked like a blizzard, don't think that lasted long maybe a day if that.
Anyway that started my interest in snow and remember looking at the Blackpool gazette one Saturday in late Jan because it had the weather for the week ahead and it mentioned snow for the Monday I think which would be around the 6th Feb? and it said snow, well that's when it got interesting because, I thought ok, nice 1, snow next week, little did I know how long it would snow for and how deep it would be, it was ridiculous, school was shut and honestly there was no cars on the road, everyone was on foot, just wondering if GFS etc was around then, how would have the models have handled it??

Drizzle here, hardly surprising, the ppn is that light its called evaporative warming

Agreed.according to the radar I should be now hammered, yet nothing falling.
Yet member to my East under what looks like lighter precip are reporting heavy snow ?
Either the radar is playing up or someone is fibbing lol
yes someone asked earlier what the weather was like in the Blackpool/ Preston area under the blobs with the heavier echoes on radar, there was nothing, then light sleet/hail, I've read a few reports that people should be receiving ppn looking at the radar, and they had nothing.

Uppers of -7C and sub-zero dewpoints and it's rain all the way.
Something seriously not right if that's the case
-
How strange. Radar on rain today can't be that accurate, as it's showing blackpool getting hammered at the moment!
sleety now but pretty light, nothing heavy at the moment
-
Any reports from Preston-Blackpool? There is a big blob of snow moving in off the sea that will probably hit me in an hour or so. Just wondering what it contains? Sleeps or snow??
Just a bit of light hail about half hour ago, really dark skies but no precip falling
-
Yeah took me by surprise... it was the same on Wednesday i think but that was early morning around 6ish as i was going to work.
Saw that too but no thunder, got hail now
-
I got hail.... probably the closest to snow we will see.
did you see the lightning?
-
Any snow?
No precipitation at all just a flash then almost instant thunder, now raining slightly

Is this a similar set up to this time last year ?
