Interested to see the models pointing to this low shipping down from
the NW - a most unusual direction for a storm that rapidly deepens
(both GFS and ECMWF in impressive agreement of 996mb to 956mb in 24
hours).

Looks like possibly some widespread strong winds with gales in places
- nothing too dramatic I'd wager but what interests me is seeing
possibly force 8 in the sea areas as far north as Norway and as far
south as Portugal !

Sorry - meant to add to support the above:

An exceptional 40' swell forecast in the N-NWesterlies over western
Biscay by 18:00 Monday. Likely to hit NW Spain hardest, just after the
Spring tides. http://magicseaweed.com/UK-Ireland-MSW-Surf-Charts/1/

If the low tracks a bit further east, then the tip of Cornwall could
get a repeat of March '08. http://www.sennen-cove.com/10mar09.htm

Mind you, today's been glorious Lovely attractive wave under blue
