I hope they do. The channel can be our best friend or worst enermy in this situation. Can certainky aid convection but can also make marginal temperatures problematic. looking okay so far as. It approaches us

The first showers appear to have hit the Llantwit area although these appear to be of rain. The front should widen as it hits the colder air thus increasing the temp inversion. Most of se wales should get some ppn out of this, I think it's going to be marginal but above 100m you stand a chance of lying snow.

I think it'll be rain for coastal areas unfortunately. We had a good 2 hours of heavy rain before the snow on Friday. This band of precipitation just isn't large enough to pull in low dew points from far afield or stay over us long enough for the transition. Hope I'm wrong!

Well I shall say when it hits here can't be far away now and tell you whether its rain/snow or wah ever.

NW Extra shows it turning to sleet/snow away from immediate coastal areas

Seems precip is intensifying and becoming larger as it crosses the Bristol Channel IMO.

You might have noticed that as precipitation hit welsh coast the echo intensified. What we do not know is if thats just convection. Or if rain turned to snow. Unless someone has nw extra and you will be able to tell

I'm not expert but NW extra says it's turning to sleet across the Vale. Im a bit worried that the front is starting to push too far east now. Bulk of it and the heavy stuff might miss us...

It is pure cold rain down here on the coast at Aberthaw, we are to close to the coast to have snow, however a few miles in land should do well clapping.gif

Well if it is sleet where I am, usually it is snow at the top end of Barry. So I would say could well be snow for you.

Very true that this could shape out to be similar to the NAE from this morning/afternoon with heavy precip over Wales giving us a nice few inches. Just following the radar now tho.

I recon it could turn to snow for you too when the heavy stuff arrives. If it started as sleet then wouldn't take much to turn

Just seen a large snow flake just the 1 while peeking out the window its a start !

According to Netweather extra the precip is turning to snow along the M4. Similar to earlier today when we had a mad heavy snow shower, rain a mile away from J33 down the Ely slip road and then soon as I got on the M4 and headed for J34 it turned in to really heavy snow. Mayb the M4 is the boundary? Saying that I recon most will get snow tonight if its heavy enough precip - evaporative cooling and all that.

There does seem to be a bit more snow in the mix now, but it could be I'm tired lol. Off to bed now and see what I wake up to. Hope you get some snow.

Did anyone in the Barry area just hear a few rumbles of thunder a few minutes ago?

Oh how I hope it comes here if its rain i wont mind thunder to be mixed in with the equation!

I thinks the front is going to stall, as the showers behind the front pile up there would be a more considerable band of precipitation, thats what happened Friday! (however I dont think the extent of any snow is likely to be like Fridays) Edited by Panayiotis

Met Office did say the forecast was very uncertain so timings, locations and amounts could change. The NAE changed several times through the day.
