Well you all have the picture by now of a very disturbed week ahead with a
200 knot jet slamming into the UK. Something for everyone during the week,
rain, snow and stormy winds being the order of the day.
I'm worried particularly about next Friday because the potential is there
for a storm of greater ferocity than the one that battered Scotland last
week, track depends crucially on jet orientation, looks like a classic
Norwegian low and not Shapiro Keyser, so wind field will be larger. 00Z GFS
run (not to be taken literally) is awesome and shows destructive potential
with some very warm air from low latitude entrained initially which all
occludes out and condenses as rain/snow. Take care and keep an eye on the
MetO warnings. This storm will be focussing minds in Exeter for sure!

Agreed and good to see the possibilities being expressed fairly
sensibly. Nice to see Will getting excited about something other than
cold weather too. *))


Why do you post to a weather group if you don't get excited by
weather. Of course it's worrying, I have an original slate roofmfacing
west and east so on the western side I could easily loose a few if the
winds were strong enough. Howevr I still get excited by extremes
regardless. There's almost a pioneering sprit that comes out in many
of us as we prepare to batten down the hatches.
