[fluid dynamic]

The gritters are out on the M23, maybe they have had a warning

[Suburban Streamer]

Looks like the NW radar is down

At 16.40 looked like a band of heavy snow was entering the estuary, now all gone from the radar, clearly all that can't disappear in 10 mins

It's the met office data not nw

[Kent Snow]

Finally some clearer skies and the temperature is heading south fast! -1.6C.

[Tom Quintavalle]

Pepping up in the north sea again

Looks like that small area of ppn just on the Essex coast has been caused by a little convergence zone, in the area!

Tom

The weather man from the SW say:

It's a growing concern, given the look of rain totals through tomorrow eve, Saturday night and again Monday night-Tuesday, added to rainfall equivalent from snow melt. Cumulatively 75-100mm likely for some. Not good.

Incidentally we're not using raw 12z NAE for current forecast outcome Fri eve re snow etc. We've leaned instead to less meaningful amounts towards S'ern areas generally (E Anglia an exception) progged through GM and MOGREPS-R and will await further NAE output tonight before seeing any further tweaks/re-grading of current UK warnings.

Just found this from Ian Fergusson on South West thread

[Coast]

Maybe not this weekend....

[Marie]

So am I right in Thinking that for us on the south coast it's going to be rain rain and more rain from tomorrow night onwards?

[leemondo]

If this does come off as a heavy snow event to start off with, what sort of time do they expect it to arrive over this way?

Don't usually ask these sorts of questions, as i know its quite annoying, but i am ment to be seeing my son after work and dont want to get stuck miles away from my wife, who is 8 1/2 months pregnant! lol

[Sussex Jules]

Maybe not this weekend....
