Aye, certainly seems like B'ham southwards in for a dumping, likely just flurries here

Still alot of time to change. I was sat her less then 24hrs ago getting depressed looking at the models now im stopping myself to get to excited...

Knowing our luck in coventry whole thing will be pushed north and we will have rain

[Snowy L]

Fact is in most of this afternoon's runs we are bang in the middle of it so at the moment in a good place, a far better place than yesterday where it was a couple of hours of wet snow if lucky before being blown away by mild.

Over the last few days, the output as been a little chaotic…every run shows the low further North then South….

yo yo…

But the closer we get to 12h it’ll be more set in stone regarding where and who’s getting what….🫣

right now the potential is fairly widespread, so I believe we’ll all see the white stuff….and tomorrow evening for some, but Thursday is the one for me

[CoventryWeather]

Met office for Coventry has non-stop snow from tomorrow afternoon until Thursday. Wonder if they have pushed it further south, maybe a follow towards the ECM.

I knew if I didn’t tell anyone then the snow would come

Please no more adjustments north or south

 

[Ms Rock & Blues]

I can't cope with the rollercoaster.  Heavy snow, then rain, then no snow or rain. Then snow again ❄

[BhamBoy]

Nice to see some old faces in here! Anyone know what happened to @snowstorm27x ? They always told me when snow was on the way from Oldbury to Harborne!

Yeah just checked the two website has coventry down from Wednesday till.friday non stop now..very hard to believe

[Metwatch]

GEFS 12z that 500 hPa geopotential mean is almost as good as it gets for the Midlands, a lot of snow spikes too. The confidence is definitely there!

[mother nature rocks]

Lovin the latest ICON for tomorrow

[Midlands Ice Age]

Careful watch now required on the temps and dewpoints....

as per 19:30 my temperature is already down to -2.5C, and the dewpoints down to -8.6C.

Worthwhile checking them out for the next 24hrs over our area.

 The fact that we had a 'proper' snow shower in the Coventry  area thisafternoon when the temp was at 5.5C here is,  i think,  very positive, as this colder air is still pushing south.

Tomorrow upgrading? yes as expected loads south of B'ham but maybe flurries here too from 5pm ish

[Midlander]

Actually it appears that the ECMWF mean is a bit more north than the Op for Thursday (according to some in MAD thread)  so maybe we still need a small correction south

I know !!

[Metwatch]

Bit of a rough outlook I've made for tomorrow. Might have to adjust a little north but overall seems In line with majority of the model output.

Best of luck to all tomorrow! 

[Serendipity]

Trying not to get excited but...

I defo think we are going to miss out on the snow this time round and looking at this text forecast from met it doesn't look good for us midlanders. 

West Midlands weather forecast

Clear skies overnight, allowing for a widespread frost.

This Evening and Tonight:
Turning dry with clear skies developing this evening. Temperatures quickly fall away leading to a widespread frost. Cloud however will increase across the south towards dawn. Minimum temperature -4 °C.

Updated: 16:00 (UTC) on Tue 7 Mar 2023.  Their extended outlook doesn't look good ither even though we had an ssw i know it doesn't bring cold and snow to the UK all the time but the 2 ssw we had i would of thought it would give us 1 good snow event. This is their extend outlook al though they do mension low confident in the forecast. 

UK long range weather forecast
Sunday 12 Mar - Tuesday 21 Mar
On Sunday, cold conditions are likely for central and northern areas at first, with further snow showers in the far north. Cloud, with rain and snow is expected to move north-east from the southwest through the day. Strong winds are likely in the west and southwest, but light winds, at least initially, in the east and northeast. Temperatures will become milder from the southwest. For the rest of the period, milder conditions are likely in most parts of the country, although some potentially colder conditions clinging on in the far north, with isolated sleet and snow showers at times. Heavy rain and a risk of strong winds are possible in the west and south. Temperatures generally around average through the period, with the exception perhaps of the far north.

Updated: 14:00 (UTC) on Tue 7 Mar 2023

Wednesday 22 Mar - Wednesday 5 Apr
Confidence remains fairly low during this period, with a lot of uncertainty. However, in general it's likely to be drier further north, apart from occasional wintry showers, while rain and strong winds are more likely to be more of a feature in the south, with a low risk of snow at times, mainly on the boundary between these two regimes. Milder conditions may extend north periodically. Temperatures overall mainly around average, with milder spells in the south and colder spells in the north.
