MetO 18Z analysis has the centre of the developing low a little
further west than the T+6 UKMO and GFS wanted. Satellite imagery also
shows a developing cloud head and striations in the warm air, both
indicative that rapid deepening is imminent. This is going to be one
hell of a storm I fancy. Batten down the hatches guys we have a big
one on the way. These storms often start to come north as they deepen
but then the rapid rotation and dig in of cold air usually makes them
spin almost "loop the loop" and head off rapidly on a more eastward
course.

Will - if a bent-back front is forming in this case (not looked at the
thermal structure in the progs), this has always been an interesting on
for
me in terms of "unexpected" snow.

That's quite a sizeable cloud head in the imagery. Very threatening.

Could somebody estimate at what times of day in each area we can expect the
most severe conditions so that we can warn people, be it wind, rain or snow?

Forget snow Dave, forget severe, just think rain and windy and there
you will have it.
