So what you reckon the lowest pressure at the centre will be. I've seen an NOAA chart stating 924mb!!! Most charts seem to going at about 935-940mb. Time for buoy watch methinks!

Well exactly, the models are much more favourable to coldies than they were a couple of weeks ago. Then it was doom and gloom on the mod thread. Now we have a southerly moving jet (becoming more and more of a consensus) and an eastward movement of the PV, colder uppers forecast for Christmas period with the potential of snow-add in the storms and reasonbly happy days!

Yup Southport, Crosby, New Brighton Notrh Wales Cost all had flooding been affected-Morrisons in New Brighton flooded. Not even high tide until midnight!

Some massive gusts in Liverpool this morning....one of them blew my glasses off!! Last I saw of them was them speeding along the pavement-god knows where they ended up. Spent all morning in Vision Express while they make a new pair!!

Short term I just want clear skies just before sunrise next week so we can see the greatest comet for 100 years-Comet ISON. If it survives it's graze with the sun and subsequent slingshot-should be a spectacular site in the Northern hemisphere.

At least we're getting beautiful clear, relatively unpolluted air from the artic- hence superb visibility.

Yup......looks really black over St Helens way. Another big one heading st Helens way just crossing cost-looks like you're in for a succession of them.

As an Everton Fan I NEVER do that!!

The warm Irish Sea (currenly 50+F) should kill off any chance of coastal snow. Not sure how far vertically or horizontally this will affect.

I bet any amount that this winter will be dry, mild, cold, wet, snowy, windy and etc-nap, cos we live in the uk! Models or no models!

Seven sisters just dropped another 3.1 mb in an hour-that's a drop of over 10mb in 4 hours-985.8 @2200GMT

Actually Seven sisters has fallen 8 mb from 1800 to 2100 GMT

Blimey that K2 was showing 988.4 - yesterday! I thought the pressure would be dropping faster than this.

Right-I'll start watching that one-maybe it's moving a bit north

1800 GMT K1 Bouy pressure 990.2mb Same as an hour earlier

Only 95 days and the days start drawing out

Strange these showers are making it over the Pennines, not only that, they seem to be pepping up on the West side of the Pennines.

Yes........this is the proper stuff, sticking straight away because of the current -1C temp. Only showery atm though.

Yeah-I've gotta back to Woolton myself from town, so I'm keeping an eye on the radar. Early dart imminent!

I'd love this lot to be just 20 miles east of present track

Definitely just coming in pulses now

Has the leading edge of the first band stalled over NW Scotland? Looks like on the radar.

yeah, as quick as it started

Wow-see that ppn band intensify over Cardiff area
