All looks really promising going forward, although going by some on the mod disscussion thread it has to be too good to be true!?!

Until the ukmo comes back on board there is that kinda naggin feeling, but that model wobbled a few days ago and todays 12z could be another one, hopefully the 00z will follow the ecm/gfs route.

I also hope the 18z follows the 12z just like last night when it was a tad better fingers crossed.

The TV forecast won't have the 12z output in them yet, whether they are live or recorded as it takes time to translate model output into weather forecasts!

I think, but do correct me if I am wrong, that the first TV forecast with the 12z data is the one on the 10 'o' clock news!

On a positive note... The met office regional updates graphics nearly every hour and it has changed symbols for bristol and somerset to sleet/snow for sunday night and monday. :air_kiss:

No the map is updated by human I believe.

Maybe that should be by a person as that sounds strange! :rofl:

Thats a positive then! I think its going to be a Lampost watching event, although I would be very suprised if you didnt get a covering! Your in a prime location! A 50mile shift westwards of the cold air on the 0z output could change everything!

Evening all. Could be interesting times ahead, if the output for the end of next week were to verify then it could be the coldest daytime maximums in at least 26 years or even back to 63. However I think we wont reach those dizzy heights as the temps are often over done and will probably level out to something realistic but still damn cold all the same!!

As for snow, we will just have to wait and see in the long term, in the short term though don't be expecting a dumping as seen on many occasions in the past these set ups often give light ppn to lower ground with the heaviest ppn on high ground and often is patchy!

Sorry to be a pooper!

I choose between the both of them, sometimes i post on both of them as Dorset is often in two camps!!

That looks the favourite outcome yes, although in these situations, expect the unexpected!

Mendips, Cotswolds & Moors should do well hopefully though

The problem with this front and the associated ppn is, will it be cold enough? Remember for it to snow the dew point needs to be at or around freezing if it is'nt then it will be wet snow,sleet or rain. I think many places may get some snow but will the dew points be low enough for it to settle??
