The Midlands - Weather Chat

[PolarWarsaw]

Literally having a laugh with this image. 

That is literally, 20 miles west of here.

Dew points are dropping steadily across the Midlands now. We have already dropped to -3.1°C here.

Good luck to those of you in the far west of the region tonight, keeping my fingers crossed for you! It's about time that Telford, Shrewsbury etc had their fair share

Looking interesting as ever.  I really wouldn't be surprised to see this one produce a reasonable covering for a fair area of the region.  As has been said, the further west you are the greater that probability, but I wouldn't rule out Birmingham and surrounds from a few cms.

I am to the west of Wolverhampton so I think I am just about in the warning area. Hope to see some snow tonight but don't think it will be much

[nobble]

Been beautiful blue sky since 12 noon , now clouds blowing in mainly cumulus , can see darker ones out west 

hope they drift inland more 

fingers crossed

[Chunky Flake]

Come to Daddy !!!!!!

We could get nothing in Cannock. Get the gun time if that's the case.

[weirpig]

Well after a covering this morning  looks like May be in for a bit more   Certainly got more than I thought from this cold spell

[matt_in_dudley]

My God it's blummin cold out there!! I missed the snow this morning...not at work until 11am so i thought i'd have a lie in lol. Typical!! 

[Arctic Hare]

Temperature dropping gradually now (2.6 °C) and dew point in negative territory as mentioned. Still think I'm likely to be a bit too far east, but if a shower can just make it over here, tonight could be my best chance of seeing something locally. Haven't seen a single flake IMBY yet, so hoping for that to change at least! Good luck, everyone.

It does look like winds are too northerly, can see the showers to my west

[conor123]

Sods law really winds looked ideal direction all week then at the last minute change to a NNW.

If we don't get anything tonight i'll just return in Spring as you know GFS will be the correct solution for next week.

NMM a bit more hopeful at least for tonight!

Should change to a more NW direction in the next hour or so. Keep the faith, however not holding my breath

2.8^oC here at the mo, dew point is -1.5^oC. Clear skies, stars are out, quite windy.

The Cheshire Gap is going to have to work overtime to get snow showers down this far, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Latest BBC forecast showed snow showers getting well into the Midlands and as far as parts of Birmingham.

Yh it did show it a touch more East and intensifying as it moves inland wouldn't surprise me if the whole region got a covering, expect Shropshire and Telford to get between 4 to 10cm.

Upgrade upgrade !!!!!!

Yh mate shef clearly showed much further inland and a lot more intense. 

[Chunky Flake]

5/10cm I read on one site is possible . Anyone know when it is meant to start . 

[The Wolf]

early hours of the morning, I think.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

We still look too far east, best places for this is Shropshire/Herefordshire

I disagree, from what I saw on the latest BBC forecast.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

just on raintoday, missing us by a mile

[markw2680]

I reckon we should do well here tonight as long as they push this far inland, looks promising and previous experiences of Cheshire gap showers tend to be drawn to Birmingham for some reason

It's the stuff up to the west of Scotland, which is due for here, not the stuff over the Welsh marches. If you run the radar, they look as though they may get a bit further east than forecast. Not missing the west, just a more extensive area
