Hello Bluesky - I suppose I had better put somewhat of an introduction together considering the flurry of followers I’ve had! I’m an avid weather nut and will post anything that interests in me that regard so feel free to follow if that’s what you want to see 😂
Glad to see I’ve discovered the only snowflakes that’ll exist on campus before Christmas

The last frosty night for a while is coming up tonight as colder air has been briefly introduced today - will be cloudier, milder and more unsettled from now on.

For this weekend, there's some contention as to where this low ends up and its development and how windy it could get for some areas. ECM/UKMO seem keen for it to ride along northern France with strongest winds to our south whilst ARPEGE develops it straight through the country.

There really isn't too much to say in terms of the outlook, except for it turning unsettled for as long as that PV lobe stays in western Greenland and into Canada as it just flattens every high-pressure push coming its way until it weakens. A few more storms to track, perhaps?

18Z GFS is going with the almighty low pressure of doom in the Atlantic I see, as it does.

It seems the warming in the stratosphere [whether it is a technical SSW or not] will actually reflect planetary waves upwards through the stratosphere and zonality back into the troposphere, which causes a rapidly restrengthening of the polar vortex. This is what the plot here is showing well.

Vital to utilise every last wear out of the shades before the sunshine vanishes forever (or the next 6 months, either or 🤣)

It’s definitely not this sunny back home in Kent - stunning morning here in Reading once again.

A maximum of 3.7ºC back in Herne Bay today is the coldest November day I've recorded since setting up the station in 2020 and at least the coldest November day locally since the 30th of November 2017 [2.9ºC maximum at Manston].

There is a small chance of a wintry mix into Kent overnight as a decaying occluded front moves into the far SE, associated with the low-pressure system in the North Sea that will be moving away into Benelux tomorrow.

That area of precipitation just NW of Cambridge is probably the focus for anything wintry further south. Let's see what comes out of it. The benefits of the rain waking me up this early are that I can track this sleety mess all the way 😂

This clump of precipitation gradually making its way south will be the source of any wintriness, let me know if any of you see anything. 👍🏻 #uksnow

The sun just set in Utqiaġvik, Alaska, for the season (71.29°N). It will rise again in 66 days (January 23rd). Good night. 🥱 @alaskawx.bsky.social

An example of things that could go wrong in the future - the PV being displaced into Greenland, which would bring us milder and certainly more unsettled conditions, rather than colder conditions. The more local factors will likely be what delivers on any cold coming our way.
