North West Of England Regional Discussion - Part 8

[Liam J]

6.3c here not much chance of anything wintry at these temps. Lots of showers packing into Scotland and moving south, lets see what happens.

[davacr123]

The cold front hasn't even reached us yet and the temps are dropping not even forecast for snow until after 21:00 tonight so just got to be patient and wait for it to get here as it only got to Scotland about an hour ago

[pip22]

Maybe if the showers come over you the temps might drop rapidly, especially if its blustery.

Its sunny here in Leyland but not a cloud in the sky.

Temps should drop significantly from about 16:00 to 18:00 anywere between 0-3 degress mainly 0 degrees at 21:00. Dam and hpa are good after about 17:00 onwards

I realise things have changed temperature wise but at the moment it's all swings and roundabouts after 18:00 the temps could stay at 2-3 degrees till snout midnight but I'll keep checking

[Backtrack]

Surprised our thread is dead.

Did everyone retire for the winter after last weeks failed events? :lol:

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

What time you starting radar watching bt. Temps took a nose dive at about 09:30 but have recovered since

I'm watching the radar now, those showers over Scotland have a real kick to them.

Temp 6.6C here.

Yeah, but it'll be 100% convective snowfall, them NMM won't pick up on that I bet.

Yrs its very sunny,windy and clouds around the edge of the clear,blue skies! Lol

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

So the nmm has no snow but your still confindent of snow based on conviction and evap milk :lol:

[peterf]

6.9c and blizzard conditions lol.

[Backtrack]

3pm is when the -6C uppers flood down from the NW, so any precipitation after 3pm will be wintry.

Highly.

[shadowfax]

Surface Temperature at the Weir weather station now showing 4.5 c, this has gone down one degree since this morning. Lets hope the showers in the irish sea make it in land later.

Currently dark scudding clouds interspersed with bright sun

[twinmum99]

Windy here sunny skies with clouds rolling in, I'm off out to get some shopping in then for an evening of waiting and hoping

[Liam J]

Heavy rain showers here, just got back in time off the dog walk before it chucked it down. 5.6c.

[Liam J]

It's snowing in Scotland at +6C.

The temp also dropped to 2c quite sharply during that shower.

Tulloch bridge reporting rain @ 2c

Yeah don't buy that. It's simply untrue, that station was -1C half an hour ago, so it sounds like it's giving bogus readings.

[Liam J]

Yes Tulloch bridge is now reporting heavy snow on the last update.

Showers have some wet snow mixed in here.

IS the Irish Sea starting to pep up?

[Backtrack]

IS the Irish Sea starting to pep up?

Yeah, the Irish Sea is now starting to stir from her monthly slumber. Give her a couple of hours. Our temperature will fall dramatically and the first showers of hail/snow will have arrived.

Edited February 18, 2012 by Backtrack

[Weather-history]

Looks like a couple of showers approaching my location. Looks like hail maybe falling out of them.

[SparkleS]

Lovely blue skies now clouding over here in leyland, getting colder and very windy!!

[Backtrack]

Here's something to watch out for later on:

That band of showers is interesting. They don't seem to be losing their energy as they transfer SE'wards. As they cross the sea they are likely to sustain their intensity.

100% something to watch, on a relatively strong flow like we've got here, they could make it to our region.

[James M]

Sunny and breezy atm! Don't know whether it will snow but it feels nice in the sun.

Indeed, a light hail shower
