I'm also glad our yacht is in the boatyard on dry land :-)

Stop showing off, Hand!

Low looks v interesting - good sting jet candidate given the shape of the
low which looks like it's a classic frontal fracture / bent-back warm front
case judging by http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rukm422.gif

Would imagine that it's at its very worst over the sea, based on the
12z/18z runs?

I agree Richard. But I'm starting to get very concerned for the SW. Checked that
I had the telephone number for our local roofer in the unlikely event that we
loose a few slates. But exposed areas could be hit hard. 6Z GFS has a mean of
50-55 knots hitting North Devon coast circa midday Sunday. It is unstable air so
gusts could be 70 knots plus even over land. We intend to walk above 500m that
day, I might phone our leader later to see whether he is still up for it!

On a separate note I note that GFS once again intensifies the Scandi high
earlier bringing sub 850 hPa -5C into southern Britain off the continent as
early as next Thursday with light sleet/snow showers into the SE and parts of
Devon/Cornwall exposed to the E-SE wind.

Fascinating weather!

Will
