Safe to say that Calum and I have been feeling rather deflated today following the troublesome snow forecast. However, despite the blue feeling, we were going for a purple dress code! 🤣

Good morning folks. Drier and brighter today with variable cloud and sunny spells, and showers fading through the day. A chilly north-westerly wind, will be strongest in the Northern Isles with a significant wind chill. Mildest in the southwest. Here is the latest, with Calum.

The weather models really struggled to resolve the shape and trajectory of a complex low and its precipitation envelopes. Whilst one delivered the widespread, heavy snow to the north, the other did not deliver the forecast heavy snow to central, S Scotland and went further south.

The latest, with Calum. Late sunshine to end the day for many with showers easing back to coasts and the Isles, where it will be less cold and breezier with persistent rain into the northwest overnight. Elsewhere cold tonight with a grass frost for many, and pockets of air frost.

Took a wee trip to lovely Loch Rannoch earlier today for the lunchtime forecast, when I again dressed as the weather story for the day 😆🌥️☀️ Love some of the drone pictures our weather watchers send in of bonnie Scotland😍
The latest with Calum. High pressure in control with sunshine and zones of fair-weather cloud. An easterly wind with broken cloud for central, southern Scotland with sunny spells; light shower risk in the south. Extensive sunshine for the Highlands, Isles and windward coasts.

Here is Calum with the latest. High pressure brings a fine day with sunshine. Fog in northern glens, where it is a cold start, will be slow to clear. An easterly breeze feeds areas of cloud into southern, and for a time central, Scotland with sunny spells and a few light showers.

My last forecast of 2023. Wishing you all the very best for 2024! Respite on the weather front, following severe storm Gerrit, with a weather window for travel tomorrow. Then another low arrives during Saturday - further disruption with heavy rain, snow and SE gales moving north.
Here is the latest forecast, with Calum. Still unsettled and windy this afternoon, but the severe weather of yesterday has passed, helping with the recovery operations. Limited brightness, with heavy showers moving inland, and merging at times into longer spells of rain.

And today, we will make it the 7th day in a row where snow has fallen at some point in the day across our mountain tops!
With the temperature around freezing on our highest mountain summits, these clusters of showers moving south in the Highlands and Grampian, are falling as snow as they pass over the tops. Remarkably that makes it the 6th day in a row where snow has fallen on our highest tops!

Still a growing trend for another prolonged spell of rainfall to affect very sensitive parts of the east and north-east later this week, with totals mounting up again. I would expect a Met Office warning to be issued in the next day or so!

Best in the west and northwest for sunshine amounts over the coming days ⛅️ whilst it will continue to be cloudier with occasional dampness in the east where it will be chilly. Especially as the east winds strengthen Friday and into weekend spreading cloud more widely westwards.
Here is Calum, with the latest forecast. High pressure to our NE continues to keep low pressure out in the Atlantic with a resultant southeast airflow which will back easterly and strengthen from Friday. Best in the W/NW for sun, cloudier & chilly in the E with dampness at times.

Whilst some of us had a blast of summer heat over the last few days, away from the chilly North Sea haar, next week will bring a taste of winter to us all as strong, Arctic north-westerly winds dig down from Tuesday! Here is Calum, with a look into next week for us. Night folks.

is certainly a very potent windstorm with a really sharp cloud head wrapped around its centre, with embedded banded structures, indicating the presence of a sting jet (a core of extreme winds that descend off the cloud head's tip) Extreme weather heading into Norway!
#StormIngunn
, named by the Norwegian Met, has been undergoing explosive cyclogenesis since yesterday as it tracked to the left of the jet with the cloud head structure now in place as it continues to deepen and head toward Norway where red warnings are in force for extreme winds.

Looking up to Aonach Mor, and its fresh snowfall, that arrived earlier today. Snow will be a frequent visitor to the munros (mountains above 3000ft) over the coming week, with a cold and unstable northwesterly airflow dominating through the week bringing frequent, heavy showers.

Life above and below the temperature inversion. Sunshine and temperatures in the mid-teens, above a sea of North Sea stratus. Currently 15C and sunny on top of Cairnwell, whilst it is grey, murky and chilly from mid slopes down into the glens.

The classic Arctic Maritime setup, with plenty convection over the sea, running showers into the north of Scotland and down western coastal areas through the Irish Sea. Whilst areas with long land track in the northwesterly are clear and sunny. My favourite cold season setup :)

We are saying goodbye to the humidity, and hello to the fresher Atlantic air in the wake of the cold front which will bring very wet weather eastwards through the rest of today with the clearer, fresher conditions moving in from the west. A wee look ahead at next week.
Here is Calum, with a look at the forecast for the rest of the weekend, with a look at next week too.

Good to be back on the weather front this morning, on what is the first day of the meteorological winter - although it has felt like that arrived a week early this year 🥶❄️
Today marks the start of meteorological winter, although it has felt like that arrived this time last week, given this ongoing cold spell. Staying very cold over the coming days with wintry showers for some. Here is Calum with the forecast.

As forecasters, we always look at upper level patterns to predict the evolution of weather at surface. And today, we are undergoing a trough disruption, where a trough of low pressure gets stretched south and then cuts off. This process still gives weather models major headaches!

Very wet and very windy tomorrow. Widespread S/SW gales - severe gales or storm force winds in north and northwest. An active cold front and its heavy rain will move southeast with a potential squall line before it clears, colder air follows with blustery showers, wintry in N/NW.
Baroclinic leaf cloud signature southwest of Iceland, associated with Storm Ingunn (named by Norwegian Met) is now entering left exit region of jet and therefore starting its rapid cyclogenesis phase as it tracks to the north of Scotland then to Norway ~ 40-50mb drop in 24 hours!
