While wet and windy conditions dive south over the UK, it’s snowing and blowing up in Iceland on the cold side of the same storm system.

Check this web cam view from Iceland this morning.

It’s snowing and sticking right down at the coast too.

Here’s the visible satellite as of 8am this morning. Note the bank of cloud associated with the front now pushing through Scotland while it’s good and clear but much cooler behind.

ECMWF surface map shows the main cold front swinging through the UK bringing a band of heavy rain and gusty SW winds but note the cold northerly winds blowing over Iceland.

850mb temps cool over Scotland as the front sinks southeastward.

The front peps up with it’s rain intensity tonight and tomorrow over England and Wales and will be slow to shift se making for a wet, miserable day. Cool NW winds and a few showers affect more northern areas.

With the exceptions of Iceland, the model pretty much doesn’t see any snow next 3 days.

But out at day 7, it does.

Probably thanks to this next wind and rain maker which sweeps in Sunday night-Monday dragging in more cold air in the mid and upper levels.

Lows DOMINATE next week’s pattern! More like autumn now right?

Negative NAO means this pattern is here to stay and today will likely be the last low 20s of the year for the UK.

ECMWF has negative over the UK through at least the next 10 days.
