LT.

Not with a fragmented and fairly weak jetstream, no


Latest MetO forecast follows the model trend of past few days:

Quote

"...[a ridge of high pressure is expected to build to the west of the UK with many southern and western parts becoming predominantly dry and settled. The greatest chance of showers is in the north and perhaps in the east. There is a potential for strong winds in the far south at first; at other times any strong winds are likely to be confined to the north and perhaps the east. Prevalence of overnight fog and frost is likely increasing, with fog potentially slow to clear during the daytime. Temperatures either close to or slightly below normal


No mention of snow though

The Nasty Bitch
Bella Storm arrives


[Deputy Chief Meteorologist Tony Wardle,
said: “Conditions will turn very unsettled after Christmas day,
with a large area of low pressure sweeping across the
UK from Boxing Day. Very strong winds will impact much of England and Wales,
with particularly strong gusts on south west facing coasts.

“Heavy rain will also move in from the north, with heavy downpours
through the afternoon in Scotland and Northern Ireland
moving south across England and Wales overnight.
This will be a notable change from the calmer
conditions over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so take extra care and stay up to date
with the latest forecast.” ]

yes now AMber

people need to act now in these areas

Very strong southwesterly winds are expected for parts of south and southeast England and south Wales on Sunday morning. Inland gusts of 50-60 mph are likely with a few spots likely to see 60-70 mph for a time. Hills and particularly coasts exposed to the southwesterly winds will see a few gusts of 70-80 mph. In addition to the strong winds, a period of heavy, squally rain is expected and may prove an additional hazard.
