That blob in the North Sea will that be going south into Kent, or south west towards London and home counties?

[Tom Jarvis]

Can you pls send the blob to East Sussex lol

[WillinGlossop]

Countryfile forecast on soon too.....

It won't make it further west than Kent unfortunately, the strength and direction of the wind doesn't support it :-(

[IDO]

Looks like it will clip far SE, East Kent:

[Jezzer]

ETA: 2 hours ?

Yep, possibly quicker at it's current rate. More experienced members may have a better idea

Question ??? Now do i blob watch on the radar OR look out of the window ??? Im a women ,i can do both !!

[Laurence Hill]

Steve,

That is exactly the point i made earlier to you. If you are going to punt for snow showers for Tuesday & Wednesday then please label it as far se and into kent. As this leaves those 'inexperienced' at model reading in the west of the se confused and this in turn gets those posting ' Is it going to snow imby '. Which does bug others in this thread as mentioned by some earlier.

Agree, the way I read Steve's post was that London and suburbs were not in the frame.

Kent...You lucky lot this is what I knew was going to happen! Those showers of the North sea really firing now!

I wouldn't bother unless you're in Kent unfortunately

Good chart shows where it will end up.

[hernebaylooby]

Lampost and blob spotting now life doesnt get much better than this!

STOP WHINGING!!!!

[WillinGlossop]

Lookslike north kent to get at least a few hours of snow showers..... Bring em on......

[chionomaniac]

Sadly you are probably right. The upper winds should carry this to Kent before it heads south.

Band moving down has picked up a bit of intensity in the last few radar runs?

[Snowy782]

so wait, is the blob for tonight? but I thought we had snow coming towards us in a south easterly direction? Sorry, bit of a div

[anything-but]

Question,if it lasts long enough,what will happen when the "blob" meets the front heading our way in a few hours time?

[Jezzer]

STOP WHINGING!!!!

There is always the ignore button

[snowblues]

I wonder what the wind direction is out there in the N sea.Lets hope its NEE direction on it,or it will be an eastkent clipper

[MJW252]

feel so privileged to live in kent

[sprinter211]

So how are things looking for west London heathrow area.

[london-snow]

Regarding my previous point made earlier to those watching for developments overnight and watching the radar for the band out west.

Taking a look at the n-w radar for which Jezzer has kindly posted a link above.

Look out to the west of Cardiff and we see a more strong organised band of ppn heading our way. Lets hope it stays together and grows as the evening goes on.

On the subject of whats coming in from the south east coast - More organised showers maybe merging together however may not travel further inland than Kent which again is a shame for us further west.
