Snow watch Winter 2019/20

First proper potential for the winter on Friday - if you live in the Peak district and parts of Scotland.

It was so windy here last night! It was screaming around the end of the house & the wind chimes from next door we’re going mental (you can tell it’s a bad wind when I can actively hear them, after 9 years they’re normally just background noise). It’s dropped a little this morning & is lovely & sunny again.

Thursday is being forecast as torrential rain all day

It does look like a pretty (wind) stormy week this week.

Been a horrible wet and windy weekend.
This week's weather looks totally nuts and all over the place. Wind, rain, snow and temps of 11C dropping to 1C in hours.

Currently forecast snow on Wednesday and Thursday, which if it comes off could be blizzard like due to the predicted winds. Don't know how much will settle due to the ground being warm and soaking.....Could end up just being more sideyways rain.

yeah, it will be a right messy mix for you Peri.

Further south, it's just stormy, wet and mild, this week and at the moment, probably beyond. What a turnaround in the models.

Weather warnings for tomorrow. Buckets of wind and rain.

Potential for some interesting weather tomorrow from mid afternoon into the evening as a potent cold front could bring some short lived very lively squalls as it crosses the UK from NW to SE.

One election day forecast for Edinburgh

Well that's a pleasant day!

It does look as though northern hills will see some snow on Thursday.

So a lively cold front today will cross the UK, NW Scotland around 3pm, central UK around 6pm, clearing the SW by around 9pm. Cold front will weaken as it crosses, but certainly further north there could be some severe gusts and hail. Behind it a marked drop in temperatures.

Pretty wet and windy up here today snow keeps appearing on the forecast for the weekend but not sure how much we have I’ve warnings from the met office over the next couple of days too could do without any extremes of weather until at least the schools break up.

Lively squall line just gone through and piles more rain to come and a shop window blown in on Princes Street

Not Storm Brendan is doing rather a good job of acting like a named storm in Scotland

It's doing a good job of generating electricity too - 30% of the supply!

I will now be wasting too much time on that website.

Squall line showing nicely.

Wet and wild in Glasgow today.

There is a slight risk of snow in hilly areas tonight in central England and East Anglia. (not so many hills there). Nothing really settling though. More of a risk further north over hilly areas. This risk continues for the north into the weekend. Saturday could see some decent fall over Scottish, Welsh and northern hills.

Actually we really need to watch Saturday! It could be an interesting day. The models are struggling to get a handle on it, depending on position and depth some central areas could see some significant snow, or they may not!
Be prepared to keep a close eye out!

@OhYouBadBadKitten do you mean central England on Saturday? We'll be driving home (Peak District to Gloucestershire) late Saturday evening - anything to be concerned about??
Thanks for your continuing input on these threads!

Hurray! Snow watch thread. Checking in later than usual this year, working full time now but watching very closely as I have a 35 minute drive to work. Thanks for all the info so far kitten.

I'd keep an eye out on forecasts Fudge. Simply impossible to tell at this point, but yes, central England could see some snow.

You're welcome Forty :)

Ok, so we need to keep an eye on potential severe gales in the South tomorrow night and then snow in central England on Saturday. As often is the case there's huge uncertainty depending on where the systems end up and how deep they form. But we've certainly plenty of weather to come.

A fair few trees down and a bit of travel disruption in the south today from squalls earlier.

Snow and ice warning issued for tonight and tomorrow across various areas of the UK.

We had some snow flurries this evening on and off. Too wet to settle but definitely white falling from the sky. First I've seen this winter.

We are in Sheffield but high up.

So there are!

There's also the potential for some damaging winds, lightning and hail in the south tonight.

A bit of snow in Berkshire earlier.
