No, earlies are only issued once a day. if it had been expected that it was
going to come off for Argyll on the day then there would have been a flash
for "current weather". Your 46mph was consistent with no flash, and the
early was issued the previous day when there was a chance Kintyre might have
been affected, looking at the forecast charts at the time. Maybe it would
have been an orange or yellow warning under the new scheme?


The fact remains that when I posted at 08:17 Strathclyde was 'red'.
