Northern England, (NW & Yorkshire) weather discussion January 2021

[Kasim Awan]

Evening all. Scattered moderate wintry showers are expected to produce marginal road conditions between 00:00 and 05:00. This may produce sleet-type road ice accumulations between 00:00 and 09:00 up to the coast and snow ice accumulations on roads east of Warrington. Development of a streamer, enhanced by a trough may produce accumulations of 1-5cm are possible locally along the M56 corridor into Cheshire, Greater Manchester and perhapd Staffordshire. There is also a slight chance convection will be limited.

Convection is expected to be somewhat limited further east due to light winds so impacts into the Peak District are not expected to be any greater than lowland Cheshire. Locally 1-3cm especially for interests around Macclesfield, Leek and Congleton.

Euro4 accumulation map shows reasonable accumulation in NW Staffordshire, W Derbyshire, Cheshire, Gtr Mcr areas. Sleet, wet snow and hail accumulation on the coast and a transitiin to snow 6-10 miles inland is my interpretation of this. Less of a maritime layer tonight due to light winds hence the above.

cheers Kasim. In my experience EURO4 tends to do well with Irish Sea convection/streamers , fingers crossed.

It got the Jan 2019 event spot on.

In terms of the past few weeks your area has done unusually well. Wasn’t it a sweet spot in 2000-2006 too? Before the north westerlies turned more marginal & easterlies kind of returned.

Streamers – Euro4/Harmomie

Troughs – Wrf

Fronts – Arpege

@kasim Unusually so , so weird to see places like Didsbury on the news with snow falling and accumulating.

We do tend to do well with a cold westerly. December 2000 was good, as was 2001. Not to forget the white Christmas of 2004 also.

[Had Worse]

[Kasim Awan]

Southern Cheshire / Flintshire slightly more favoured for the streamer into hours atm.

[Had Worse]

The chain of showers look to be on course to give Buxton a pasting.

[Kasim Awan]

Not enough to the showers mate for much we’ll see how the night progresses.

[Kasim Awan]

Hi all I expect a trough development around 6-9am with a widespread covering in the south of the region. If you could post this is NW please I’d be grateful.

Yes unusually well the past few weeks. Very bizarre to see places like Didsbury on the news with heavy lying snow.

We did very well December 2000 and was in a sweet spot in December 2001 also.
