Squall lone went through here about ten minutes ago.

 

Have to agree, Mapantz, looks as though it might be relatively clear by 16.00, unless it's going to do something we don't see.... :cc_confused:

 

It looks like the empty gap is filling in, more to come then?! 9.3mm so far, here. :)

Yes, there seems to be quite a bit more behind the main band.  Not ventured out to the gauge yet!

Looks like Saturday has a chance of snow on the Cotswolds and Wiltshire looking at the GFS0.25, not sure how accurate that is but looks more accurate than the normal GFS precip charts which show wider snow showers throughout the South.

BBC and MetO give it completely dry here, tomorrow. The models we have access to, seem to be at loggerheads with each other! My own stations forecast gives rain- it's usually on the ball as well. Radar watch it is then?!

Absolutely tipped it down here for a bit, about 20 minutes ago...

Stark contrast to yesterday when jeans and a t shirt was very comfortable to be out in. Not a boring spell of weather though, which is nice - personally I sort of enjoy rain events, as at least something is happening!

We have as much chance as we have seen all winter so I am surprised its not more active on the forum. all marginal and most will be wrong side of it but we have a chance in places over next few days to see at least a sniff of something wintry while it is still winter proper. :hi:

 

Oh wait I have heavy snow forecast for Saturday on my met office app that's scuppered my chances now. :rofl:

 

Torrential rain here at the moment, you can see relief rainfall at work on the Mendips looking at accumulation map.

Massive difference in the GFS and NAE for 3 am Friday...

worth seeing who wins, as it impacts on which model we should trust:

Looking at latest radar - the GFS is bang on the money...

Pretty embarrassing for the Met Offices forecast app and general interpretation of the situation via the NAE high res. Shame.

Well, I recorded more rain than I thought would fall..I calibrated my Davis and Netatmo stations yesterday, and they were both pretty much spot on with my manual gauge. 16mm in the manual one, 15.8mm from the Davis, and 15.9mm from the Netatmo.

Next batch of rain has started now.

Currently 7.8C

Looks like the MetO and BBC got it spot on. The GFS and NMM died a death on that one.

That was the wettest 24 hours for about 5 weeks (17.5mm) and it has been followed by a dry, bright day! After all the fluctuating forecasts for today ranging from clear/sunny to heavy rain it's in between with frontal cloud and some hazy sunshine after a foggy start!

Cloudy and 6.5°C but at least it is dry.

 

20.3mm fell from that system in total. After a dry start to February, it could turn out to be above average - currently at 48.1mm

I'm helping someone move tomorrow, tomorrow was picked for being a nice day, and the best of the weekend. I've just gone to the BBC website, and seen that they give heavy shows from late morning until late afternoon! I've just had a gander at the charts, and i cannot find any evidence of this? What makes it even stranger is the fact that the regional forecast on the site itself, shows no rain tomorrow.  :cc_confused:

Well certainly a better day than expected. Thick fog to start with then a mostly bright if tad cloudy day since. Not all that mild either with the temperature struggling to get up to 6C.

Same here Mapantz. We picked tomorrow for a brew day in the garden. It's looked pretty good all week, but it now shows a showery afternoon.

I reckon we'll wait until tomorrow morning before we decide to retreat to the kitchen.

GFS was showing that this morning, showers later in the morning & dying out later in the PM, so not surprised.

GFS now showing a more general rain earlier in the afternoon.

Well, I believe we've got a "flood alert" for most of WsM - though I'm unsure where my nearest point of water actually is (where I'm based).

2015-02-20-wsm-1.jpg

Then about 15 minutes ago (looking East) it seems the sky was starting to fall - and a rainbow was trying it's best to appear.

2015-02-20-wsm-2.jpg

Once that has disappeared, it revealed these.
