For parts of Kent this morning there is some brightness around, even sunshine for the inland areas and today should remain generally quite bright with some spells of sunshine to be had. Further towards the East Kent coast we're looking at more cloud but overall it should be a dry day with a few light and scattered snow flurries dotted about. Light winds but temperatures will struggle once again with 1-2°C for the maximum today.
The evening and overnight period turns cloudy with some light snow likely towards the East once again but with a breeze from the East these could be pushed a little further inland from the coast. Another cold night with low's of -2/-3°C.
Onto Saturday and this is my focus of attention has been through this week. A cold start to the day and will remain cold through out. Forecast temperatures are not expected to get much above freezing with parts of Kent likely to remain around -1°C at best. Some snow showers are possible during the day across many parts of the county with East Kent the most prone to these, even a slight covering may occur in the heavier showers. Maximum temperatures generally around 0°C.
Now Saturday evening and overnight is where the 'fun' begins.
we have had a warm front carrying plenty of moisture really making a push right across the UK during Saturday so that by the time it reaches Kent in the evening which is already very cold some quiet heavy falls of snow will occur. A weather warning will be issued during Friday for snow once high resolution data becomes further available. I would expect snowfall to begin roughly around 8-9pm and continue during the night. By Sunday morning we can expect around 2-3inches of snow with higher accumulations possible on higher elevations.
Overnight low's remaining around 0°C
As a side note, after a good run of the Kent-Weather chat room a few nights ago, the room will be activated again for Saturday evening during the snow potential. Keep an eye on Twitter/Facebook for the link!
