what are you going on about
http://216.239.37.104/translate_c?hl...trale.de/topka rten/fsavneur.html&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dwetterzentrale%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie % 3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8 the outlook looks snowy to me,what do you mean winds backing to the west,what charts are you looking at then "James Brown" wrote in message ... Looking at the charts I have to agree with Will that it doesn't look much more a day or so of cold winds. The 'clipper' low for Sunday looks like holding back the advance of the 528 air for S. Wales and the south of England. Then the N or NNW'lys come across water of 10C. So could be down to single figures by then, albeit the sun is getting stronger. But then several models, most notably the GFS develops a more pronounced low in the North Sea which has the effect of backing the winds into the west for southern parts - again off 10- 11C water. It's possible I suppose that by the end of the week the wind my back to the SE, but will the near continent be that cold by then to affect the encroaching depressions? So altogether, not holding out much hope for the south - but as a snow lover I will be pleasantly surprised if something white does appear! James -- James Brown |

Well, I see plenty of low level convergence on Monday as the low runs into the Southeast which will just add to the cold air advection from the North. Plus the rainfall intensity is very heavy (according to the GFS) which will induce a drag effect and with surface temps at around 1-2c it won't take much to turn it to snow. I'd say the Southeast has a higher chance than many might fear. A |

And in any case. the low may run a little further south anyway. J. -- James Brown |

Interestingly the GFS point tables for S. Wales (Try St Athens station) never show a freezing minimum for the whole period let alone maximum! James -- James Brown |

Hi John, I think I am referring primarily to his reference to the potential for snow, but I am perhaps being biased by 17 years of experience of coastal climate in S. Wales - whereas perhaps up on Haytor things will be very different. I promise to re-visit this thread when then is now - if you see what I mean! Cheers, James -- James Brown |

Indeed. And his latest update goes for a greater chance of the 'dire' scenario than first predicted, with little chance of a breakdown before next Saturday.
