I've heard that with the high pressure advancing down the country and the
low pressure advancing up the country they will meet in the Midlands and
this could bring considerable snowfall. Is there any truth in this and
could there be considerable snowfall for Wolverhampton, or any places in the
Midlands

What is actually going to happen is that very cold air from the Arctic
will meet air that is not so cold coming in from the Atlantic, at
least that is what some of the world's most powerful computers are
telling us.

Where the two meet there is likely to be some precipitation. The
forecasters' latest estimate is that this meeting will be over
southern counties of England late Sunday through Monday.

The Midlands may well see some of this precipitation but it is by no
means certain.

My guess is that if it is light it will probably be of rain. If there
are any heavier outbreaks it could well turn to snow, especially
later.

Hello Mike,

I live in Wolverhampton. I don't think we'll see any substantial falls of
snow, just snow showers, with sub zero temps.

Though it's better than a poke in the eye ;-)
