I see the GFS 06Z PPN charts have gone of on one snow for all NW England this afternoon and evening

C.S

Can't see it verifying.

If it does then i'd suspect they'll be some happy folk on here and plenty of red faces at the MetO and on the BBC as they try and explain why they missed it.

Still nothing falling from the sky despite the front pepping up. Looking over the last frames it seems to have stalled in situ with little or no movement apart from the area expanding slowly.

Wouldn't mind if it was actually reaching the ground and then turning to snow later. But nothing!

Id say your way to far inland, this will flirt with the coastal areas... (blocking will keep this away from you) and south west england

Yes nothing is falling from the sky, bone dry and quite frustrating! Even some of the guys in the Wales thread are saying similar.

hi HC

not like you to be so confident LOL

C.S

We need to keep a close eye on where this warm front is exactly...coastal areas are seeing temperature rises.

[Snowmad79]

Difficult to call if those on the coast are getting nothing even though radars have it coming inland

[HotCuppa]

What do you think pal?

I dont really like that radar, uses gfs to plot ahead of time...seems its changed its mind from a south easterly to an easterly now lol...snow along the east coast?

i doubt it will matter if that warm front moves towards us, coz it will be game over for the entirety of the north west.

[HotCuppa]

what are peeps temps and dp's at the coast?

[Liam J]

Just text my mum as she is 15 miles inland from the coast and nothing is falling at all. Yet according to the radars most of Cumbria has been under ppn all morning.

Temp here 2.9c & dew point 0.4c.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Could the pp. be echoes of the mist

[carl1980]

2.1c here,cloudy but still nothing falling

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Also wond picked up here

[iand61]

Uhm so this is all phantom precip ?? ....

Whether it's phantom or not, only those sitting under it can answer but the problem is that must people currently sat under it will have to be in boats.

I want to share your optimism here and hope you're right with the direction the arrows are showing because it would certainly give us something from the large area currently North of the region; but i still feel it is being held back towards the west and until something (hopefully snow) falls I will not be convinced.

[HotCuppa]

my temp is 1.9C and dp is 0.8C , my dew point is beginning to drop

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

About 2c here hc

im seeing something strange going on at the moment, the temp and dp is fluctuating a little bit, one minute its sitting at 0.8 the next its 0.7 then its back to 0.8, the temp has fallen to 1.8C

[iand61]

1.4'c and has been fairly steady for the last couple of hours.

[Liam J]

One look at this would tell you that the ppn falling should be falling at a decent rate, strange.

Black dot is roughly my location.

[Snowmad79]

Yeah the update on raintoday shows it stalling right off the coast not cool
