Potentially ‘Disruptive Snow’ For Scotland Tonight, Biting ‘Northeasterly’ Developing For Eastern England

As a system pushes south over Scotland tonight, we expect another round of moderate, possibly heavy snow even to lower levels tonight. Be aware of this if your travelling, especially on higher road routes later tonight into Tuesday AM. Tough call as to whether we get the snow into Central areas. Models aren’t showing much along the M8 corridor but if enough moisture reaches beyond the southern Highlands, with cold roads and cold air, it may not take much for a fresh covering along with icy conditions.

It remains cold for all through Wednesday but as highlighted through the past weekend, that blocking high to our west begins to nudge into Scotland. While temps moderate here to something LESS COLD Friday into the weekend, winds veer northeasterly over England which means bitter wind chills and the potential for snow showers even into London and much of eastern and southeastern England through this week.

As we head into Tuesday-Wednesday, with light winds and clear skies, it turns very cold over central and inland western Britain.

Here’s the latest snow forecasts off both GFS and ECMWF through the coming days.

  1. hi Mark. I am a little confused regarding the charts. The ECMWFshows my area as receiving snow but the GFS shows that we won’t. are you able to determine which is the most accurate of the charts. Thank you.
