Hi Keith, honestly I'm really not sure. I still cannot do better than the trend
I issued on thursday.

I would suggest this week's weather is going to be more than enough for all of
us !

Thanks for that update Will.

The following cold spell doesn't look quite so bad this morning, and
probably more shortlived than it appeared yesterday, would you agree
with this?

All, this is a very serious post.

Just had a look at all the available information this morning and it seems to

me
that the UK is *potentially* in for quite a severe spell of weather this

coming
week with the possibility of loss of life, damage to property and some
disruption.

The low on Monday will give heavy rain in England and Wales and could cause
flooding. Track is important for associated gales, but a track slightly

further
north than the Met Office expects could bring severe gales or storm force

winds
to larger areas of southern England. Atrocious conditions are likely in the
Channel anyway with a high swell and severe gales or storms. Another low on
Tuesday could be just as nasty with a short spell of very strong winds and

even
some snow over high ground, particularly in the north.

As things turn colder after Wednesday there is a significant risk of heavy
snowfall, possibly blocking roads and causing disruption. High ground and
northern areas obviously most at risk but low lying southern Britain not

immune.

This is a bad time of year to have such a strong jet so far south and "aiming"
at the UK - that is the reason for this post.

Please keep an eye on Met Office TV and radio forecasts for warnings for your
region.

Take care,

Will.
