First steps...
.... just trying to get the hang of synoptic charts for the first time and
the next few days. Let me see if I have this right. The cold front currently bridging Iceland / Norway is heading south. Colder air behind. It catches up with remnants of a weak warm / occluded front by T+24 around the midlands and hits the SE at T+36 approx. Now, occluded fronts mean cloud and precipitation. So with this large, cold mass of air behind it associated precip. will be snow. And possibly large amounts... Am I close? Les |
