Is there an issue with the Radar around the Portsmouth area?
Just click where you are on the map Lionel: https://www.met.ie/It'll give you hour by hour synopsis as to what this model is showing (below the map) for your location. Great thing about this model is that it updates very quickly. And I think it has a very high resolution of 2km Sq, so not bad!

Thanks for that. Do you know, I had only ever noticed the regular rainfall radar on the Met Eireann website but not the forecast. Hopefully, it'll be accurate this evening.
There often seems to be a big wedge of ppn showing heading eastwards from the West Dean radar on the Hants/Wilts border, but whether that is phantom ppn or the surrounding slice of the pie is simply not showing, I'm not sure.
Not just that but the radar shows precipitation over us as I type but its dry on the ground. The local schools have closed early and will be tomorrow too.Time to change of course but they the schools seem quite confident of some significant snow later today to take this approach and begin the weekend early.Bit like the summer watching high level stuff approaching from France, well not quite the same but on the ground nothing or a few large drops of rain. The potential is there...

Sounds like all the snowflakes are in the teaching profession these days. When I were a lad in the 1960s, I can remember walking to school through the snow drifts and still having lessons.
Why has our society become so soft these days?

It's more the fact that back then, the teacher probably walked within walking distance of school too, whereas nowadays the teachers have to drive 20 miles to school, so if they can't get in, no lessons.
This guy on Twitter is usually pretty good with forecasts:Snow depth forecastI didnt want to have such a large range of potential snow depthsThis afternoon and evening as we track the band moving across the region, we'll be able to get a better idea as to lower or upper end of the given rangesCrucial nowcast for thatBest of luck pic.twitter.com/QklfOqBZcd— Southern England Weather⚡☔❄💨 (@LondonSnowWatch) 31 January 2019

Looks as though that map was incorrect - the line should have been tilted much more - from Anglesey in the NW on a diagonal passing between Worcester and Birmingham and down through the Cotswalds to the SE.
Lampost
watching now it is snowing.
Radar suggests we're under some precipitation here on the coast, with a temp of 1.8C and dropping dew point I'd expect snow. Nothing at all falling yet.
Exeter for work (S of city centre). Rain until 15m ago now heavy snow. Note the small wave/runner on the trough moving east along the Channel. This will both enhance ppn and back surface flow just N of E across the south.Still expecting significant totals from Bristol across to Kent tonight with local 15cm easily. Snow even on the coast from IOW east. Travel disruption inevitable.
I admire your optimism. I'll be leaving work about 10pm in London and getting back to Hampshire about 11.15pm, so hoping for a nice snowy bike ride back home through the woods.
I have to say the latest Radar appears alot better than expecting for home counties and SE
Liam Dutton has said the main band has pivoted early which will limit the northward extent of the band now even more. (not a word for word quote)
I am giving up now - what was supposed to be a mega event for the West Midlands is a no show - the front is stalling just to the south west of Hereford and making no further progress.

He also says "I think there'll be greater amounts further east than previously thought..."
As much from the convection in the NE as from the front!
I like this. Really odd here, the radar has us under sleet or snow here, and has done for quite a while. Not a thing falling from the sky yet.
EURO4 actually goes for more snow in the NE!
Convection vs Warm occlusion ultimate rap battle.
Precipitation falling into dry air evaporates if it to light.
Hi Neil. Even this mornings forecasts are looking a bust for here smack in the middle of the amber warning. Snow was expected from around 1pm. Not a flake so far and looking at the radar it’s clearly sliding in a more west to east fashion than was forecast. Not expecting anything here now, which won’t be a bad thing as I’ve got to travel in the morning.
Radar showing us under precipitation for last hour. Nothing is actually falling though. Behind that it’s clearly fragmenting. A bust for a large area of the amber warning I feel. Better further south and east though
