[Misc] The Award-winning official "More Snow Tomorrow?" Thread [2024-25 Season]

[Uncle Spielberg]

9C max today 5C min tonight 8C max tomorrow and then back to double figures again. What a truly AWFUL winter, week after week of sw winds, the worst possible set up for any cold weather and snow, will the wind direction EVER shift to a n, ne or e ?

Well, we've had a lot of NW winds, but they're rubbish for anything but clear days here.

Papa perhaps you should set up a 'more rain tomorrow' thread

There is still hope - lots of potential in the model output at the moment - just need that to convert to an agreed output in the 3 day range

As long as it's not warm beer (When I say warm I mean an average day time temp of 7C or over, and 4C at night)

Why ?

but still rather exciting at the same time

The latest GFS Parallel run (which becomes the Operational tomorrow) which runs at a higher resolution than the other output has snow potential at the weekend here, plus a cold plunge from the North, then east into next week. Plenty of potential. The ECMWF also has a very snowy outlook at medium to longer range.

HOWEVER - there is still to much uncertainty to start to have much confidence... yet

The 6Z GFS ensembles will make interesting reading when they're complete. Suddenly a lot of Scandi Highs are appearing on the output. The weaker jet stream and a more southerly trajectory (for the jet) is allowing northern blocking to develop.

Worth keeping a close eye on.

You say that. I prefer to lazily look at the forecast on BBC.co.uk and shout "It won't snow, it never snows, it's too warm for snow" to all and sundry who will listen to me.

Basically, you can stick your reasoned and scientific approach to this.

Try this. I hear it's 100% accurate.

Plus you can buy it via the link above and contribute to funding NSC

The ensemble looks more interesting - with 15-30% snow chances throughout next week.

Is it ever too cold to snow? I always remember old duffers saying that when I was a lad and I always thought, tell that to the eskimos (sorry, I think that should read Inuits now).

Not really, I think it is born from some air that can be extremely cold comes from a very dry source and therefore doesnt deliver much snow.

On the coast ?

Any idea if this means snow showers or something potentially more considerable ?

I think the precipatation line barely going above 1mm indicates that there won't be a lot, I could be wrong!

1mm of rain/precipitation would equate to 1cm of snow.
