Update: Cold-front, low & possible snow 31 July 2012 - 01 August 2012


It is very cold over the southern half of SA this morning (Wed 1st), although conditions for snow are marginal due to limited moisture. Snow is likely along the southern Cape mountains, and over the high ground of the Eastern Cape.

The custom GFS charts have not been updating till now, but this morning's chart shows the likely precipitation and freezing level during this morning (00Z to 12Z on Mon 1st). The site snow-forecast.com has a much more detailed terrain map showing the mountain ranges: www.snow-forecast.com/maps/dynamic/southafrica
