COOLER AIR ONCE AGAIN DRAWING IN ACROSS UK, SNOW POSSIBLE FOR LOWLANDS OF SCOTLAND AS WELL AS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN UPLANDS, SNOWDONIA AND THE PENNINES TONIGHT AND TOMORROW
It seems as though everytime we watch the evening weather forecast, there's literally always mention of snow, even at low levels "for a time" before turning to rain. Yes, it's a pattern which is seeing the fight continue between milder Atlantic air pushing in on board southwest winds but because cold air is still nearby and we never really get a total Atlantic airmass covering us. When frontal systems push in off the Atlantic, those southwest winds make that turn once the front has pushes through and we then see that air come in from either the north or the east, thus we're periodically seeing rain, which has been fairly persistent, here in the central part of Scotland change to sleet and over slightly higher terrain, to fully snow.
As yet another front pushes through, rains may change to snow tomorrow morning over the Glasgow to Edinburgh corridor for a time, perhaps providing a slushy coating whilst higher ground over Ayrshire, South Lanarkshire and out towards the Lothians and Borders, a decent covering may occur. The same may happen further south over the Cumbrian Fells as well as down the spine of English Pennines and over across Snowdonia. For a time, cities such as Carlisle, Manchester, York, even Newcastle may see snow as the initial push of cooler is blows in from Scotland as overnight temperatures fall away fast.
ICING RISK INCREASES AS GROUND REMAINS VERY WET FOR EVERYONE AND TEMPERATURES DROP AWAY TONIGHT
Because there will be a fresh injection of cooler air (not so much COLD when comparing to recent times) and the ground has been soaked well by a series of frontal systems, icing will become more and more of a hazard both tomorrow morning for northern areas as the cool air will arrive first, on the backside of a rain/snow producing weather front that's moving south and in more central and southern areas later tomorrow and into Thursday morning. By Thursday morning after even low level areas see it snow again, skies will clear out and temperatures instead of being in the 4-7C range today may be closer to 2-3C tomorrow from Glasgow to Edinburgh and those levels in Manchester to Birmingham Thursday with nighttime lows drifting back below freezing. All that moisture on the ground which has struggled to be absorbed by frozen ground will then freeze.
AMERICA SET FOR BRUTALIZING COLD NEXT WEEK! DETAILS COMING TOMORROW!
