I shall be pin-pointing Sunday in my weekly forecast as a potential day for
disruptive snow. Not just on hills but eventually for low-lying populated
areas too.

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.


He he custard now over most of the country on Sunday for snow!

Yes, obviously refecting the uncertainty regarding the event, as emphasised
on the 6.30pm BBC forecast, rather than thinking that almost the entire
country will get snow from a single event.
