I wasn't expecting this wind tonight, was it even forecast really? getting about 50mph gusts which are probably causing havoc with the swaying trees!

Very windy here too, but according to bbc weather app it’s just a “moderate breeze” currently.. It’s definitely more than that... Currently 8°C so not desperately cold but not very mild either in the wind.

I don’t think it was forecast either, yet it’s just as windy tonight as it was on Saturday.

Very frankly all this recent weather, tonight included had the Met Office screwed big time, regarding the weather warnings.  The wind outside is horrendous!!

It's windy for sure, not the roar of Friday but regular and frequent gusts but the rain tonight is much heavier so it's making it sound worse than Friday.

Chilly breezy just got milk delivery in…

bought Christmas tree yesterday… bring out the decorations today… 

arm feeling sore today but otherwise no side effects of jab…. 
hope all have a good day

Some strong gusts of wind overnight here and rain lashing against the window at times. Chance of sleet and snow showers in Southern parts of the region tonight according to metoffice...

Now

Can't beat a bit of Radar Red - Hail Sleety mix and  Rain - I'll hang on just a little bit before I go out.....!

Happy Advent all.

64mph overnight gusts. Reflecting on the lack of any warnings for this (not even a last minute Yellow) as it's still gusting to 44mph this morning and that's only in Buxton town center.

I must have been tired last night after keep fit or else the gusty wind didn't come this far south, as I didn't hear a thing! Cloudy and showery this morning but nothing more than rain showers and still quite mild.

Yes a possibility according to this morning GFS and Icon looking at the parameters of will it snow...according to GFS

850s -7

DP -2

Wind direction NW

So yes possibility there showers forecast to be more frequent after midnight so maybe a streamer could set up.

GFS predicted cover 1-2 cm

A blustery start to winter with frequent heavy- torrential Cheshire Gap showers really not pleasant weather at least tomorrow looks cold, dry & sunny. Not entirely sold on low level snow chances tonight but as Sunday proved if conditions are right we could see a surprise covering for some.

Yes, the wind and heavy rain last night/ early morning was worse than I was expecting. Maybe the Met Office are busy, and the intern or office tea boy are in charge of the forecasts/ warnings....

[Iceaxecrampon]

Marsh turned into Wetlands again. 

 

Front moving in from the NW Slight Winteriness. 

 

Still got lowland lying snow! 

[severe snowstorm]

Liverpool Airport forecast showing possibility of snow between midnight and 03:00.

And the Station Inn isn't too bad either if anyone's venturing over

Just having a sleety hail shower. It made the hills disappear. 

[Chris.R]

If there is any precip after midnight which I’m a bit doubtful about still then it will be snow east of 2.9° w.

[A Face like Thunder]

A yellow weather warning over the next two nights covering many areas of the UK but not the NW. Frequent heavy showers today and not a nice day to venture out.

[damianslaw]

Good to see the gloom of yesterday has been brushed aside by polar air.

[itsnowjoke]

Can feel the temperature dropping  

[A Face like Thunder]

Still gloomy here alas!

[cheshire snow]

Here is the latest icon for early hours of Friday a leading edge snow event.

[Chris.R]

WRF is also leaning towards a possible leading edge snow event for some on Thursday night. Still low risk at the moment, let’s see what the 12z does.
