Default Low pressure mid-North Atlantic

We'll have to wait to see the various 'official' analyses of course and
it may not have finished deepening: the 'rule' tried to predict maximum
deepening rather than spot time central pressure values, so the 932
might be quite near the mark.

... actually, it has been down to 934 mbar at 06Z which I failed to
appreciate - so perhaps it was even closer to Dick's calculation?



.... and on the ASXX from Exeter: 932! Pretty good outcome - whether or
not it actually drifts a little lower, nearer the 928 mbar of
yesterday's forecast is not relevant: it does demonstrate that properly
applied, these 'legacy' methods still have some validity!
