? NO ⚠️ There are some strong winds out there tonight but it’s separate from tomorrow’s storm, which is still out in the Atlantic, racing towards us. Winds won’t really die down though and when they increase early morning, that’ll be

A fantastic view of a funnel cloud (possible tornado) from the Yorkshire Dales. Formed through a different process than a Supercell
#Tornado
— impressive nonetheless!
Band of rain turning increasingly to snow through the PM & overnight (timings uncertain). 2-5cm possible widely. 10cm on higher ground. SE looking to get the worst but slight changes will make a difference. Western extent dependent on when rain turns to snow. Updates to come 🌧🌨
There is the chance for some thunderstorms on Tuesday evening and Wednesday. Storms will come up from France and conditions will be favourable for them to continue & develop over the C Southern England and the SE. Few days out so details will change. Here’s a rough look below ⛈
For those giving up on the

because you’re ‘bored’, I hope you don’t moan when we have a 2nd wave, a 2nd strict lockdown and an even worse economy. Not to mention the large number of increased deaths. This is difficult for us all. But try & use your brain 😅

Preliminary Snowfall Risk Map ❄️ By MON evening, snow showers begin to increase in frequency with E areas seeing the worst. In places showers will organise into streamers giving snowfall for several hours. A more organised band is modelled for the NE Monday night then Scot Tue:
Models really going for it now, they are seeing the effects of the SSW kick in at 2 weeks time. Not often you’ll see charts like this...However, 2 weeks is a long time and things will change. Eagerly waiting for consistency now!
Thought 🤔 Met Office employees are trained meteorologists & know what they are doing. It’s good to question them to learn things & to keep them honest but no point slating them & telling them how to do their job (unless you’re qualified 😉). Share opinions but don’t be toxic 🤷♂️
That’s one extremely active Multicell Thunderstorm pushing its way through Central areas right now ⛈ Expect flash flooding, frequent lighting, hail and gusty winds ⛈ — it’ll rumble NW for quite some time...
UPDATED: Overnight snow slightly further south now but still W Midlands/N Wales seeing the worst. Precipitation to the south will be turning from sleet to snow to rain to sleet throughout the day (rain further south). Later a secondary low will provide possible snow for S England
Some of you have been asking what winter this could be comparable to - well 1991 is a good place to start, I've put together a little highlight reel to get you in the mood!

UPDATE Beast from the East: below are 2 possible scenarios.
1. (GFS)The UK takes a direct hit from bitterly cold air - this would truly be the Beast from the East
2. (ECM) The UK would get a brief shot of the bitterly cold but then it would sink to the south.

Quite disgusted about some of the response to professional forecasters over this recent period. It’s weather. Chill. Relax. It’s not an exact science. Enjoy the fun of the evolution, learn & share opinions. Not sure where this constant picking at peoples analysis came from 😴
