Wow, channel is exploding into life

The Channel Low appears to be making it's way from France a lot quicker and could reach us morning/early afternoon. If this band off ppn continues it's projected path, we will get a lot of snow

[Vince]

can someone explain how these showers have no problem getting into Wales yet here in Bucks they seem to die out 70 miles from us ,this seems a continuation of the last cold spell ie: a waste ....again !!

Doesn't really look like that band of ppn can go anywhere but up over us, It's got to get round the low.

[TEITS]

Having the most amazing snow shower at the moment. Everywhere white with horizontal powder snow falling. So heavy its more like fog outside!

keep that line

[Neilsouth]

I think this southern front is decaying the snow showers in the southern north sea

keep that line

This is incredible radar watching. The Channel Low is converging & gaining strength as it pushes towards the UK...........Amazing

[alexisj9]

Where was the low supposed to be now roughly, anyone know?

its also expanding as unstable

be interesting to see wht that does if it hits

should do but

you know what i mean

I think your right, shame really, I was hoping that would happen tonight. Seems this low has decided on a different course.

the low is to our south west where predicted

these are outer bands of precipitation

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Is it me? Or is that low much further North than projected, we could be whited out in pompey come 7.00 !

its not weakening

Last post for tonight.

Have to be honest after looking at the radar and the models it doesn't look good for the SE/London. Only the extreme S coast looks at threat from snow. Much of N Kent, London appears to miss all forms of snow. What I mean by this is you could have the double whammy of the main snow band remaining to the S but the associated cloud shield might be far enough N to kill convection.

Let me put it this way if I lived in these parts I wouldn't stay up all night!

goodnight eye

snowing heavy here now

that low incoming looks fine to me

[Flaked Queen]

Was the wind ment to be this strong anyone ?

[Chris101]

Seems to me that the plume of moisture feeding the showers on the East coast is now building itself over the North of Holland so may start to see the showers building and coming in a bit lower down the coast into the Estuary.

[yamkin]

I think your right, shame really, I was hoping that would happen tonight. Seems this low has decided on a different course.

The convergence of ppn off the North Sea is pepping up and convective ppn is now establishing itself more inland. With the oncoming Channel Low which looks like pushing up a lot quicker, we are in for incredible radar watching and not forgetting the snow

[Eastbourneguy]

Winds howling here at the moment, I felt some ppn on my hand sticking it out the window. Can't actually see anything though as the lamp posts go off at 1am!

This radar shows all the snizzle type ppn aswell, what happens when all this mess bumps into each other?

That's a great question. In my opinion, I see the Channel Low as a warm front bringing loads of rain which will hit the very cold air mass = very unstable. Anyone for Thunder Snow

[Bluebreezer54]

Light snow blowing about in a very strong wind here again now. What happens next is anyones guess !!

Could we see a blizzard? I hope so, but BBC say no
