Great minds think alike. Simultaneously I started a similar thread!
Yes it could be further north OTOH it could slow even more and deepen
further south. Ensembles will be key to arriving at a most likely position.

12z gfs has Sunday's depression on a very interesting track. I feel
that the low centre wil end up further North than currently forecast,
but there's some gales and heavy rain likely to be wrapped around that
low and it could prove to be a damaging storm. Lots of leaves still
left on trees and lots of blocked drains too.

Further afield, it looks like Autumn will hit the Med next week. Perf
Anyone who has escaped for half-term, to the western Med, at least,
has had some super October weather, but anyone who has tried to save
some money and tried to escape the kids in the resorts, or taken the
kids out of school to benefit from cheaper deals, might wish they
chosen this week instead!!

Not quite the same track this morning and the 00z gfs takes the
depression across Northern Ireland and then across Scotland, but still
with some strong winds and heavy rain,. Definitely one to watch ATM.- Hide quoted text -

Sorry, posted too early!


I'd add that it also looks as if the UK is in for a spell of windy
weather which could last right the way through next week. The 00zgfs
shows little respite until next Friday. The ECM is similar, but is
promising a much colder plunge and north-easterlies next weekend.
Brrr. "If only we had that chart in January", I can hear a few saying!

Anyone care to take a bet that rainfall in NW Cambs is more than 5mm
in next 7 days ? Damn this Indian Summer, had enough of it. I do hope
that the water companies are preparing for a drought next summer.
wouldnt be surprised if they wait until the horse has bolted before
closing the stable door.

Poor you! I think your drought is about to break Ned! I'll bet you a
virtual pint of Atom Splitter that you've recorded 5mm of rain by
0800 on Monday!
