Met Office 5 day forecast for Exeter still has light rain on Sunday and
Sunday
night and light rain wednesday night.
Tuesday is completely sunny followed by a foggy night !

So no severe weather expected in Exeter according to the official Met
Office 5
day web forecast.

It could be right :-)

Interesting to note that 3 rain drops under a grey cloud is a tropical
storm..

ROFL I wonder what 4 would be.

Just had a look at latest 12Z runs.
Exeter Met Office human outputs have a triple point southwest of Exeter at T+24
so I would expect heavy rain from that.

12Z GFS suggests circa 30mm rain at Exeter on Sunday, some of it thundery.

On Tuesday GFS brings in thundery showers to the SW which seems about right.

It must be a nightmare for the *real* human forecasters ATM as it will be
crucial where the front pivots. If it actually stops or even starts to push back
west or wave then yes indeed some places are going to get 60mm or even more.

ATM I'm facing the prospect of a southeasterly gale and heavy driving thundery
rain for most of the day tomorrow, possibly giving 50mm +, and we have guests
arriving too ! I'll be able to tell them, yes on a clear day you can see the
sea - honest :-) They are not very tough people either, so the effect of
Dartmoor weather at its best is going to be interesting.
