[SummerNSnow]

I've had more gusty farts than this

Nice, always good to know!

[SummerNSnow]

Why are there no warnings out from Net Weather for snow or wind come to think about it.

Im guessing theres none for snow as im not going to get any.

Positive thinking matey! You never know, tomorrow morning you might wake up with 6 inches!

[Liam J]

Peak gusts so far today, an official gust of 70mph just down the road from here, certainly a wild day for many.

[SummerNSnow]

Prepare to be amazed come late evening....

[jam2010]

Wow such an intense hail storm here with very heavy winds would live it to turn to snow, even if it does I just can't see it sticking but I'm enjoying this crazy storm sky is black

[chris78]

Guys chill out and dont be negative im 99% sure it will turn to snow for you guys later... meto wouldnt risk putting an amber out if they wernt confident anyway

[SummerNSnow]

It's not too bad here, yes it's windy, but not that bad..

Can't see much snow falling with temps ranging from 5-8c across the region atm, the strong wind straight off the Irish Sea really isn't going to help matters.

[chiffer]

Probably midnight onwards snow wise.

Convective cooling Liam.....

I remember my area was caught under a shower streamer on the Saturday morning of the 23rd February 2002, we had continuous hail showers with snow and we got a covering of snow and hail and yet to the west towards Warrington and to the east towards Eccles, there was nothing. So I wouldn't rule anything out.

[SparkleS]

6.4 here down from 7 and 8 another hailstorm with strong gusts, been at it all day and towards the west is the sun behind the cloud lol

Showers are forecast to turn sleety by 9pm...... to snow from midnight! Plenty of time.

Convective cooling Liam.....

Ideally you'll need to be under an area of more prolonged ppn/showers for evaporative cooling to take place and allow the ZDL to reach the surface, any snow away from higher ground will likely be brief and transient unless you are lucky enough to be under a streamer.

Wrong thread.

The wind direction tonight does not favour a Cheshire Gap effect. Showers would have to either come across North Wales or develop there for your area to be affected.

[Chess01]

Okay thanks

[MrSunshine]

Okay thanks

Sorry mate I sounded a bit abrupt there. I fancy you to see a few snow showers late tonight.

[Weather-history]

Showers seem to be massing in the southern Irish Sea at the moment, we'll have to see what happens.

[Thunder Snow]

What are the chance of some snow for Carlisle

[Darren Bown]

just had a massive hail shower, left a bit lying in corners and edges
