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. It would seem that the predicted track of
running up the Channel is about right, but I expect it might well be deeper
and a tad slower in coming and going. Lots of wind and rain and snow in NW
quadrant.

Yes, this is some way off being storm of the century, but it won't
all be forgotten if you find the Medway in your kitchen.
