A bit more over here in Hilton. Several colleagues did a runner from
work and are going to get fried tomorrow I think. The radar has
pepped
up a colour recently but it is nearly passed I think.


.... the trend looks to be 'on the way out' but I note that the cloud
tops are cooling (indicating some development as minor pulse of
cyclonic vorticity advection runs across the cloud mass), so we could
still get a covering here ... just making the surfaces damp atm.


The remarkable thing is that the Tuesday event seems to have
disappeared from the charts ( FNMOC for me) - which to me is
incredible. Must be very tricky to forecast therefore. Will seems to

averaged over a reasonable period, consistently better than most.

'Testing the forecasters nerve' is a phrase that was used in another
context many years ago ... and probably applies this time around. A
