Snowfall looking less likely, but by no means impossible tomorrow morning. Thames Valley and northern M25 section most likely. So Chilterns would be my bet if it happens.

Heavy and prolonged rain will cause local flooding issues.

Where is the rain supposed to be a problem?

South Lincs and we are on the edge of a met office yellow warning covering the south east. However, netweather stating it'll just be windy with rain later in the day.

Currently in Outwell on Norfolk Cambridge border. Dry today but bloody cold. 8 Deg. C. But blowing a sharp wind.

50mph winds from the North tomorrow, along with the very heavy, prolonged rain.

The models are still struggling to nail it. If you're east of the M1, then expect the worst of it.

I'm quite east of the M1. Near the wash coast.

Heavy rain (and any snow) now showing most likely East of a line from Wash to IoW.

I noticed our forecast has changed slightly (Spalding). We are still getting rain, but less volume I think.

The met office forecast vid shows us as being right on the edge of the rain.

Verrrry late shift East. So no snow, and maybe only Kent getting a deluge.

Looks like Belgium might cop it instead.

It makes quite a difference! One means I drive to work, the other means cycle.

Anyone see the WRX final in Portugal yesterday - BLIZZARD!

This weather system is not 'usual - a deepening low coming from the south, interacting with northerly winds is ummm, rare.

So models really struggled to get it right. Plus some apps might update quicker to show the new track of the system (as per my late post last night).

Bone dry here, but radar shows the rain holding a few miles away. Good news for dog walking!

When I ran the timeline on Netweather, that clump of weather was not moving much.

Which was the reason for the flood warnings - you don't want to be stuck under that for hours!
