Cumulonimbus Tower

GEM seems to be the only model going for height rises to our north in FI tonight, looks nice, with GFS considering it for a short while. Lets hope the GEM has suddenly taken up a role as super model extraordinaire, blitzing the others into a frozen submission....

Perfectly weighted, nice one, thanks!

Sorry Chionomaniac, whilst things are quiet, and if you have time, is there any chance you could put some of your posts into lay person speak, just so we can get a handle on what people are hoping for and what in your opinion might be spoilers? I understand the depth of atmosphere etc. but not quite how this relates to nest weekend and what might or might not happen.... Think of higher GCSE or lower A level meteorology terms

A slightly, urm, different look at the same; https://www.earthfiles.com/news.php?ID=2366&category=Environment (Don't shoot the messenger

I usually enjoy watching these events unfold too however that's quite often making landfall over a rich country in the USA. Even Cuba etc. are well drilled in storm protection. What's concerning at the moment is the impact of this storm on a poorer country with poverty stricken residents without access to the latest shelters, storm proof buildings, medical care etc. It could be catastrophic for some in this instance.

The models seem to have come to a 'litmus test' point of autumn, in that it's been so benign and now the first signs of a change to some 'back endish' weather are appearing in the middle distance. The 06z certainly looked to be heading the way of the coldies as opposed to the 00z which looked to be flat and modern winterish . I realise that patterns shift over autumn/winter but it feels like we are about to get the first real indicator of what all the related factors (El nino, solar decline, cold Atlantic etc) will deliver when added together in the real world; flat muck or meridional mix

Hi, I saw a spectacular green fireball last night. About 1.29am to the west of Hebden Bridge. I thought it was a firework at first it was so bright in the night sky. Lasted a few seconds before fading. I went on twitter and found several other people who saw it from as far apart as Manchester, Warrington and Belfast. Also got reports of sightings around the same time from Argentina and the US but I imagine they were seperate incidents. NASA had said there was a very large asteroid passing earth yesterday so one has to wonder if smaller 'lumps' travel along with these big ones. It was the most amazing celestial experience of my life! Anyone else see it?

Seems to be a little milder air into Aviemore and the north of Scotland at 18.00 with showers turning to rain 'allegedly'

Good evening Pop Pickers. Looks like there 'could' be a more organised band of showers developing over the Scottish central belt on the most recent radar. Might be worth keeping an eye on if it develops further eh? Interesting to read what robbo88 says about bands of showers too, could be promising for a further dusting perhaps? OOps, soz, just noticed WH's post. Ditto.
