Hi Nigel,

How you doing? Can't help with the stats but what I do know is that beast

is
heading for Corunna judging by latest satellite images at
http://www.metoffice.com/satpics/latest_IR.html . The only model to capture

that
evolution was ECMWF at T+72 range. It then subsequently took it over SW

England.
I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that this system may well end up

wallowing
around in the Bay of Biscay , only time will tell. It can't track across

land
into France, surely not?


Will, are you saying that the track of this might not follow the
models (well, the MetO and NOGAPS:the ones I look at regularly) and
curve up closer if not over SW England?
R


Yes!!!!
ECMWF previous run was bang on and that gave me storms over Haytor.

Oh Sh**

Will.

And I'm still not confident in the official forecasts, but have to go along with
them. I shall be watching the imagery and obs like a hawk this evening as well
as David Braine on Spotlight of course which is also promising some pictures of
the swell.
