Hello again,
It is going to be a cold weekend ahead and there will be some snow around once again too.
Weather School got underway last week. If you’d like to come on a course then have a look at http://www.weatherschool.co.uk. I’ll announce more dates soon.
If you can’t wait until then you can teach yourself using my Weather Why’s DVD. Thanks to all of you who have bought one so far, and for the wonderful feedback you have been giving me. To see free sample videos or to purchase your copy go to http://www.weatherweb.net/weatherwhys.htm
Onto the weekend forecast, and if you know anyone who’d like to receive this email each week just tell them to send a request to join to

Have a good one,
Simon
WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST
Issued: 0900 Friday 29th January 2010
SATURDAY:
An unstable northwesterly airflow through the country through the day. There will be troughs moving southeastwards through northern and eastern Scotland, also affecting northeast England. A further area of showers extending from western Scotland, down the Irish Sea and into western Wales.
So it will be a cold day across the whole of the country. Little change through the course of the day, the whereabouts of wintry showers will be critically dependent on wind direction.
Snow showers affect northern and western Scotland, some of these heavy at times. The snow showers also affecting eastern coasts of Scotland with some moving across northeast England too, mainly on the coasts and into East Anglia.
Further snow showers, some heavy again through western Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and into the west of Wales.
Elsewhere the day is going to be dry and bright. There will be good spells of sunshine, good visibility, and the best of the sunshine for more southern parts of England.
Winds will be generally NW’ly 20-25kt (F5-F6) in northern and eastern Scotland and along northeast coasts of England. WNW 10-14kt (F3-F4) for Wales and western England. Mainly NW 7-10kt (F2-F3) in Northern Ireland.

SUNDAY:
The unstable northwesterly flow persists throughout the day once again on Sunday. An increased risk of snow showers affecting more parts of the country.
The focus for the snow showers will again be through more northern, western and eastern coastal areas. Troughs will be moving southeast in the flow, and these will bring enhanced and sometimes heavy areas of snow showers.
Most of the showers for Sunday across northern and western Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and southwest England. There is also the threat of some snow showers developing over southern England in the afternoon.
For much of the Midlands and northern England, as well as southern Scotland the day is likely to be dry with good spells of sunshine.
Winds NNW-NW 25-30kt (F6-F7) in eastern Scotland, 18-24kt (F5-F6) in the west of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Mainly NW 14-18kt (F4-F5) through Wales, most of England and Ireland.
