[Misc] The Award-winning official "More Snow Tomorrow?" Thread [2023-24 Season]

Right - just to stop some people from panicking, this has not been bounced to announced a blizzard for Sussex

However, Friday morning is looking potentially snowy for the midlands and home counties.

This will be cause by a low pressure system which will zip along the channel Thursday night, potentially giving strong winds to the south coast.

Saturday is going to be a cold day also, with N/NW winds.. so wrap up warm.

PANIC: My cat has grown an unusually large coat for winter. This can only mean a Siberian winter awaits. Then again he is incrediably stupid, so maybe not.

Can anyone remember the website posted last year that showed all the temperatures at different altitudes that gave guidelines on what level the temp needed to be below for rain to fall as snow?

Currently 25 degrees and brilliant sunshine in the Falklands. Pity I will be landing at Brize Norton on Saturday morning in horrible weather

Our local paper website has just said that there is potential for some snow tomorrow morning after the heavy rain but the snowfall is likely to be heavier in Crawley/Guildfrd areas.

I personally believe the experts on here rather than my local paper so is there any truth in this?

 

[Napper]

BBC just reported it as well so no chance

Step forward NSC experts

There is a chance of snow here in the early hours tomorrow.. it's a bit of knife edge setup, and depends upon the path of the low over-night and how quickly it deepens. If everything is 'just so' we might wake up to at least falling snow, if not settling, but even that's not out of the question if the intensity is high enough.

I'm liking the look of the latest track for that low.

Yes, we avoid the strongest winds (if we're talking about the same model run) but get heavy precipitation and the cold Nly in it's wake.

For those who are interested this site is very useful for viewing all model data (that's available to the public).

Meteociel - Cartes du modèle numérique GFS pour l'Europe

This view is the high resolution part of the GFS model and although it's aimed at France (it's a french site) it also covers southern UK.

There's loads of data, but some of the view are useful - especially Precipitations, Temperatures, Temp Min, Temp Max.

It's going to be knife edge stuff tomorrow morning! I'm thinking from 6am to about midday there is going to be a mixture of Rain/Sleet and Wet Snow. Possible accumulations on the North and South Downs but only a slushy mess at best to lower levels, which will still cause travel problems!

Whatever happens it's going to feel raw out there due to the N/NW wind and wet!

 

[Easy 10]

Yay.

The 12z gfs? Just a shame (from a snow point of view) that the High looks to be blocking just to the south of the UK.

 

[pauli cee]

so, just as importantly, how cold is the back of the north stand looking saturday?

 

[Stoichkov]

Sleet / wet snow currently in BN2 - 2 degrees

[Mendoza]

There were a few flakes falling at The Amex when I went past about 8am. Not enough to worry about though

 

[Woodchip]

Sleet in BN3 interspersed with rain drops.
