OMG have you seen the 18Z run Jon?


OMG?! That's enough teenage girl lingo from you, Hand.

That aside, the link is a veritable boon! Odd wind units - km/h? For
the given gradient that seems odd...

992 - 968mb in 12 hours towards the end of the run. Hours of fun - I
knew opening my big gob thinking it didn't look like too much
(although doesn't the NAE have a record of overcooking?)

Cheers,

No not really Richard. Rainfall can be overdone at times as latent heat
feedbacks can occasionally get out of control but generally it is a very
good model and needs to be taken seriously. Wet and windy sums up tomorrow
I'd say - nothing unusual for the time of year, but exciting given the long
period of quiet soft weather we have had recently. However, .... lurking in
the back of, and haunting every forecaster's mind, is the spectre of 15th
October 1987 :-)
