Made it fairly broad to avoid getting the thread locked. Snow showers are likely in parts of the NW tomorrow, down to very low levels in the far NW, and perhaps some sleetiness even into parts of Northern England. At this time of year solar heating means the showers have oomph, in them so all kinds of things could be falling from the sky tommorow for those exposed to the NWerly wind. The same is true for Wednesday. Wednesday night will be bitterly cold as winds fall slack under an arctic airmass. I think somewhere will reach negative double digits in the shelter of the highlands; unusual for this time of year. -2s and -3s could be fairly widespread into northern England, with a rural ground frost to all but the far south and SW. Thursday is interesting, a system moves in from the south west, bringing initially rain to parts of the SW, however as the system gathers from the west and affects more northern areas, it will start to turn to snow as it meets the very cold dry air to the north. As the LP moves across central areas evaoprational cooling could turn the precipatation to snow, I recon somewhere will wake up with a blanket of snow on Friday morning. There is even a possibility that as the system clears to the south, a few snow flakes may fall in the home counties.
A very interesting week!
