........time slip!

Thursday is beginning to look extremely interesting. Something Will
talked about some time ago and he'll be able to give more on the
dynamics that I can. If he's got any sense he'll be walking the moors
on such a day as this.

Both the gfs and the ECM have a low moving southwards through the
North Sea on Wed/Thurs. Ahead of it, precipitation may well be rain,
though the fax charts show a series of disturbances running down the
eastern side of Britain from Tuesday onwards which are likely to
produce some lowland wintriness and hill snow from time to time
through the week. Thursday however, could hold a key to some heavier
snow on the back edge of that low as colder air is dragged in from the
continent and down from above, with a distribution which may include
areas further to the west, as well as the east, if the ECM is to be
believed.

An area of convergence through the English Channel tonight and sub 528
dam air may produce some sleety stuff in Kent, but it could be just
cold rain. Lamp post watch for that one!
