Default Severe weather this week

================================================== ==================

All, this is a very serious post.

Just had a look at all the available information this morning and it seems to me
that the UK is *potentially* in for quite a severe spell of weather this coming
week with the possibility of loss of life, damage to property and some
disruption.

The low on Monday will give heavy rain in England and Wales and could cause
flooding. Track is important for associated gales, but a track slightly further
north than the Met Office expects could bring severe gales or storm force winds
to larger areas of southern England. Atrocious conditions are likely in the
Channel anyway with a high swell and severe gales or storms. Another low on
Tuesday could be just as nasty with a short spell of very strong winds and even
some snow over high ground, particularly in the north.

As things turn colder after Wednesday there is a significant risk of heavy
snowfall, possibly blocking roads and causing disruption. High ground and
northern areas obviously most at risk but low lying southern Britain not immune.

This is a bad time of year to have such a strong jet so far south and "aiming"
at the UK - that is the reason for this post.

Please keep an eye on Met Office TV and radio forecasts for warnings for your
region.

Take care,

Will.
