[manutdmatt1986]

1degrees, dew point -3. Warmest its been all day!

[Southender]

What temps have you got up there Shrimper?

Temp 0.4c

Dew -5.6c

Fine for the moment. But rising quickly...

[SHM040519]

Looks like the warming is starting ahead of the front then...How many of us will be left on the right side of marginal by the time the ppn arrives?

Not many I would of thought.

Presume further east and North? Where its colder?

[matt brid]

Even though i love the snow it will make a pleasant change to have some mild Atlantic weather at last .. Roll On Spring and warmer days - bloody freezing here over the last 2 weeks . Sleet and Snow in the Midlands now and expected shortly in London area.

[yamkin]

Temp here is -1c

[Southender]

Presume further east and North? Where its colder?

Yep.

South of LDN looks rain already with the temps posted from Surrey and Sussex.

That leaves Kent, Essex, Herts and LDN itself still in the game. Just.

Are we all still forecast 1ft of snow or do you expect the rapidly rising temps to affect your forecast?

I never said our region would get a foot of snow, I referred to Yorkshire and Derbyshire etc

With the right dew points I can see 4-6" in the sweet spots in our region but depends on dew points

Not for me i want Feb to be cold with a Greenland High North east winds, snow heavy......Enough time in May to Aug for warmer temps

[Me & angel fiance]

hovering here somewhere between 0 and -1 as far as I can tell. All I have is my phone app and a site I use. Really hoping I can stay awake long enough to see this happen tonight, but am so tired!

[Sussex Jules]

London City airport

Temp 1

Dewpoint -2

[musehead]

Temp 1.9C and DP 0.6C, both still rising quite rapidly.

That's Leatherhead only 20 miles SW from central London, i'd suggest rain for this region and London an almost certainty.

[jright35]

I'm going for a brave call of 5cm in north kent

[steveinsussex]

Dew point zero here....

[Stormi]

Temp 0.1c at the moment. Has risen over the last couple of hours. The snowman in my front garden is just about hanging on to his head........his nose had to be re attached this morning .

[chmape]

for the last 30 mins the temps have stayed the same now dp 0.4 temp 3.2

i guess when it starts to rain/snow it will get abit colder?

[Southender]

Front really starting to liven up now.

[jright35]

I'm going for a brave call of 5cm in north kent

[alexisj9]

It was always going to warm up after the first front went through, as it was a warm front, still plenty of time before the main band comes through and it is a cold front with a warm sector. so time to keep calm and see what unfolds.

If the temps stay at 1c in region, as up north, when precip arrives they again will fall..... People its nowcast stop getting depressed.... Can see the triple point on radr now too..... Still below freezing here and wind is picking up.....

[BLUNT]

Gritting the roads now after two weeks of freezing weather hasn't been a gritter in sight now seen two in a row and its going to turn to rain or a sleety mix what is the council on???

[Paul Sherman]

What are your thoughts for tonight PS?

The warm front hasn't crossed the SE yet has it?

I was under the impression it was part of the "main band"
