Latest bbc forecast going for snow all day on Monday in the north east!

[NickR]

NAE 06z looks fantastic for here.. it just hangs on on Monday, after starting off during the day with some v heavy ppn.

[Alex95]

It's -1C here, so fingers crossed. It looks like rain in the borders though.

Edit: They're reporting snow at low levels in the Scottish thread so maybe it's not rain.

Did anyone look at the radar last night? Look at how close the snow showers got! A mile or two offshore?

I know the beebs graphics look a bit iffy for us tomorrow but GFS doesn't!

My attention then turns to Friday and out west

[Isolated Frost]

Knife-edge synoptics but the bonus is, with the precipitation progged, we would have a hefty amount of snow lying on Thursday if it all goes to plan- so much to decide yet though. Intense! Nowcasting, nowcasting.

[Thunder Snow]

Very light snow in Carlisle, not expecting much more

[tynevalleysnow]

Still subzero (-0. and a dp of -1.1 here and cloudy. Just need the ppn to get here for the fun to start

[Isolated Frost]

NMM has BOTH bands as ALL snow- tomorrow's band turns sleety near the coast or the north of the region- but Tyne and Wear is safe.

The EC hi-res meteogram however has very heavy snow this evening and tomorrow morning, before turning to rain and sleet in the afternoon.

Also- I have to note the NMM showed the convective precip out in the North Sea on Tuesday morning... loaded!

[Alex95]

The precipitation is weakening over the borders, I have a feeling this evening could be pretty dry.

[Isolated Frost]

^ the NMM forecasted this- but still held a prediction for light snow all evening, thats the problem with slow-moving bands

[Snowmaggedon]

Isolated Frost, please can you tell me whether its still looking good on Teesside?

Those same meteograms also have -8s and -9s for Thursday!

[Isolated Frost]

Those same meteograms also have -8s and -9s for Thursday!

They only have meteograms until Tuesday afternoon- 48 hours after the current?

[Lake District Blizzard]

heavy snow and a good covering here, 0.7c DP -0.7c

Oh well the long term forecasts then,

What time you reckon for any precipitation to reach us today?

[Summer Sun]

2.8°C currently with a DP of 0.2c cloud is increasing to my NW

[Thunder Snow]

Light snow biggish flakes in Carlisle not expecting much more

[Isolated Frost]

What time you reckon for any precipitation to reach us today?

NMM says about 6- so does the Met, I'd probably say around then, maybe before. Hopefully it has some intensity and cold air wrapped into it by then.

[Alex95]

Lying snow in SW Scotland at low levels

Beaut of a webcam Alza

They should put one up in the scenery of Scotswood or Fenham!!

[poison1]

snow relatively heavy in Carlisle now.Has been snowing all be it lightly since about half 8 this morning so roads are wet but this definitely has potential for a little whiteness to form

Enough to lower the Dewpoint below freezing I hope it's hovering around 1c here

[Summer Sun]
