Good evening,

Hello, There's so much uncertainty regards the weather for tomorrow Friday, morning. I watch & listen to the Met office ten days ahead forecast as well as their deep dive program, but for ages, all it has done is to try & explain why they can't make their minds up. I use a different analogy to most weather folk, as I equate atmospheric air movements like sea shaw waves. Usually, only the crest of the wave has the froth on it, as it catches the wind. Two air masses merging behave very similar. Tomorrow morning, a wave front travels west to east, across our region. It's like sea shaw waves, with a trough & a crest. I bit like a sheet of corrugated iron. If the freezing point is somewhere inbetween the crest & the trough, say 750ft, plus if the front stalls, Birmingham could have heavy wet snow, whilst we have light rain. That is the problem. That's why there is so much uncertainty. It's odd, so much uncertainty for less than a day ahead, but such confidence in what's going to happen in half a century. Yet we swallow it. Ok, on with your jobs.

The snow that fell here Tuesday evening had mostly melted yesterday but the puffy white hail that fell last night has provided a more durable imitation of snow today.
