Dawlish, I always appreciate Will's view on his "possibility" outcomes when he looks ahead at any "interesting" weather features. He does NOT make forecasts, in my opinion, but will put out a "probability" outcome of unusual weather events. I for one, will always follow his "renegade" posts with great interest, as being a weather "extremist" myself, I like any sort of advanced warning of even an outside chance of an "unexpected" event. Sure, the "forecasts" often don't work out, but it is fascinating to see an "alternative" outcome from his perspective than just comparing 10 day futuristic ECMWF and GFS charts. With the increase in sea temperatures, I have been expecting the first fully fledged hurricane to come whipping up the East Atlantic, through the Azores and into the channel. They have come close, but not yet arrived. Our resident Dartmoor meteorologist will be the first to warn us that meteorological conditions are conducive for such activity....(if it happens)

Keep it up Will, and I will be the first to subscribe to your "private" weather site when you retire!
