@wx_radar @stormbell @wxjay Ranch dressing makes for an excellent pizza dip! It’s very similar to the garlic and herb dip you get at UK Dominos and much better than the oil dip they give you at US Papa Johns 🤢

@SimonLeeWx @ChickfilA I hope they’re not closed on Sundays

[Ben Davis @BenDavisWeather]

@WeatherNation Yes that’s fine

9:22pm view looking NE from Golden City, Missouri of the deadly nighttime tornado last night. Unbelievable storm to chase, thoughts with those who've lost loved ones #Tornado #StormChasing #Missouri

@LondonSnowWatch Me too! The past few days have been awful although i'm hopeful for a significantly drier than average May after a wetter than average March and April

[Ben Davis @BenDavisWeather]

@LondonSnowWatch I'm going for 25.6 in the London area

@DerekTheWeather On balance, i'd probably expect Wales to remain predominantly dry, although I wouldn't rule out rain in far eastern parts ie. more of a ECMWF solution

[Ben Davis @BenDavisWeather]

Hirlam and ARPEGE models highlight the risk of heavy rain turning to heavy sleet or wet snow across parts of southern England, mostly over high ground but perhaps to lower levels at times. Also a flooding risk with > 50 mm possible for some parts of the south-east.

[Ben Davis @BenDavisWeather]

@DerekTheWeather Good question! Still a lot of uncertainty in track and westward extent of precip. Most models (GFS, GEM, ICON-EU, ARPEGE and AROME) have Wales dry on Monday, but Hirlam has extensive rain and hill snow while the ECMWF has light rain for extreme eastern parts
