You mean that 'deep' low which is 1006mb on the latest GFS run?


Depth is relative :-)

Deepens from 1003 to 989 in 12 hours (12z Fri to 00z Sat) on the
output I'm looking at. 14 hPa in 12 hours is explosive deepening.
Interesting situation.


On the 00Z run, it was barely a low and didn't deepen till it got into
the Med. On one of yesterday's runs, it deepened and ran into Biscay,
missing UK. Looks like time to roll a die.

Feeling stressed and frustrated? Try a short session of contemplative
