Happy Christmas Eve!

As I’m sure you’ll appreciate, today’s busy and I’m rather limited in terms of posting but do check out this morning’s video. Throwing up a few of the charts shown in the video for you to see more closely.

Here’s the scene on the A9 this morning.

Less than one day to go now and many are probably still wondering, will we see snow? NORTHERN BRITAIN has a chance, particularly over HIGH GROUND but some wet snow may fall to lower levels, especially tonight into Christmas Day in Scotland, lower chance but can not ruled out for N England and Northern Ireland as a front pushes south, drawing colder air with it.

Here’s the 42 hour or 18z ECMWF snow cover over Europe.

UK

Snow is already back on high ground over Scotland with snow down to high road route levels.

It will be a cold frosty start and cold day overall on Christmas Day with ice a concern.

Christmas night into Boxing day looks colder still as a near 1040 high builds into the cold air in place. Expect a fairly widespread hard frost.

Still watching closely the weekend system which will likely start as rain but I expect some, even low lying parts of the UK could see snow as the low dives into N France and pulls in colder air off the near continent.

Look at how much snow the ECMWF sees a week from now. Overdone, probably but moral is, we’re heading into a much more winter-like pattern.

Just loving the latest GFS 7-day mean 500mb height anomalies. That’s a COLD PATTERN… Models are all over the place for sure but notice how they keep going back to the cold theme…

January outlook will be available Christmas morning!
