A major trough disruption is about to take place, all models are keen on

it. Initially the air will be too warm for lowland snow and there will

be quite a bit of rain. But as the disruption gets underway, winds will

fall light as the trough stretches and precip. will persist. The warmer

air will occlude out and in the light winds latent heat processes with

melting snowflakes will hasten a cooling process and the wet-bulb

freezing level will come down rapidly. This process most likely Sunday

afternoon and evening. Sunset also obviously aiding the temperature

fall. So a period of moderate or heavy snow in bands then slowly

petering out. One to watch and one where tangerine warnings will be

issued in due course by UKMO. Who gets what and when will have to wait

of course.

Do you think there will be much chance of any lying snow in the Surrey

hills?

I'm not Will, but there could be a flurry in Surrey with the sleet on top.
