  1. HI fellow posters ,iv just had a look at charts and data after being away from computer for a short while .i see plenty of action weather on the way later this week ,with many possibilities unfolding ,of course when the modells get more info things will become more clear as to we get just rain rain rain or the possibility of another v windy spell ,certainly wont be boring ,also we start to get a mix of air sourced from different locations .its just a case of waiting gang im pretty confident that the modells will soon be showing charts with plenty of eye candy ,a nice drop of cold air was brought in behind our storm i could see our amazing night sky clearly last night and today some lake effect short down pours in my location ,so everything to play for .tonights late Fax should be interesting for late saturday ,
  2. Not many posters over in modell forum so i thought id pop in here .im realy looking forward to this winter .it would be nice to see a continuation of winters with a bit of bite to them ,or are we heading back to the time of mass mild muck with just topplers .i personally dont think so ,not anyhints on any modells or data at the moment but that can only be expected ,im personally going by gut feeling as the weather is certainly not in a boring mode ,and already some signs of northern latitudes seeing some good cold .perhaps we are due the holy grail ,but even if it did grace our charts come real winter time im prety sure at this range there would only be the odd sign especially if it arrived after the new yr .feeling prety pleased with myself today ,as i wrote the track of last nights storm down as coming in a tadge further south which it did over good old bristle ,i was actually up in early hours and was amazed at a stary sky before the gusts arrived ,i hope this winter is a fair share winter so all the prams stay clean and tidy ,cheers gang and heres to an interesting spell coming up ,what next
  3. Heavy squall here on west mendip ,wind picking up ,would not be surprised to hear some thunder ,gone very dark towards weston s mare ,
  4. Not too bad here on west mendip ,looks like wind could pick up around 5am as another surge comes in from west ,looks like low centre tracked much further south hense worst further south and south east ,keep safe
  5. Still looking severe from all present data from what i,v just looked at .looking at radar and sattellite i would say it looks to me that the rain is coming North east rather quicker than forecast ,alot of dought creaping in from certain posters which is very warranted and to be expected as many of us are probably like Cats on a hot tin roof at the moment .but patience is the key ,GFS could be on to something but Met office have plenty of info so i for one will be following them on this one .no guarantees BUT we have been Warned ,if the worst happens tonight I E , A TRACK ACROSS WALES MOVING n/east RAPIDLY DEVELOPING ,it would be a consilation as the Storm of 87 occured at night ,although this was severe ,not so many people out and about so less fatalitys compared to the Burns day storm which tore across central and southern parts during daylight hours .A VERY HARD ONE TO CALL ,but we should know over coming severall hours .
  6. A little bit of a weather system approaching our region from the west ,a bit of a taster over next 12 hrs or so to get us in the mood ,the full monty later tomorrow and early monday .the real potential for extreme weather but as always tomorrows charts and data will im sure give us a good guide on what to expect ,sit back crack open a bear enjoy a drink make yourselves a nice sausage sandwich ,radar and sattelite watching will be the key tomorrow ,Wind as picked up here but as of yet no rain .And if IAN is about thanks for your posts on our regional thread
  7. Certainly a very interesting few days coming up ,with in my opinion looking at all the evidence from charts data etc .but realy by this time tomorrow it will be much clearer as to the track of this low ,its intensity and life span ,and many meteorological bits of Data which are missing at this point in time [late saturday morning ]i think the met office are doing a very professional job ,but as always is the case many news outlets and papers etc are being very un professional ,as for candles matches torches i have plenty up my shed iv collected over the years but so far never used in an emergency .already our local supermarket ran out of bread this morning and milk nearly going the same way .but the upbeat is as i stood waiting for my wife in the village today many people were talking about the possible storm and there was a buz in the air ,which cant be a bad thing .If the worst possible situation developes in your area and this is forecast later tomorrow it is very helpfull if you have the timeto check on neighbours and a very big tip is to look around and make sure that anything that is liable to be lifted by the wind is put away or tied down ,iv had first hand experience of some one being hit by garden firniture back in the Burnsday storm ,in hospital for 3 days .SO any TROLLS ABOUT rather than causing bad feeling on our Forums get out there and do your Duty ,and a big thank you for all regular posters for good technical info ,cheers
  8. Certainly a very interesting spell of weather coming up ,it will be interesting to see how the Modells handle the track of the low and its possible Make up over the coming days .i can remember very well the great storm of 1987 ,as i visited parts of the hit area a couple of days later ,also the burns day storm which caused more fatalitys as it hit during the day when more people were about ,not tucked up in bed .this as usual is going to be a hard one to call but with modern technology i think by late tomorrow we should get a fair idea ,so of interest will be FAX charts ,forget in my opinion Newspaper talk as this is usually out of date come publication time .so the potential is very much there in my opinion ,there are alot of non believers out there in the capabilitys of forecasting ,and im sure its mainly down to what they read in certain papers and chinese wispers that follow ,but we have a very professional Met office in my opinion who stick to the facts ,atleast we have something in our hobby to get a bit excited about and discuss on the forum ,with always bearing in mind that others find freak weather nasty and frightening .
  9. MINUS 33.8c on the sea front at weston super mare February 8th 2014 .i will send you pictures of the Ice breakers out at sea ,but i think if somewhere in england can get below Minus 20c there could be some happy people about ,as this would likely occur with snowfall on the ground .
  10. Certainly an interesting outlook going by todays output ,i am very pleased with current mild wet weather as somewhere down the line mother nature could balance things out ,no guarantee mind you ,but from a coldies point of view [which many of us posters are ]it would be nice to ease into late autumn and early winter .must say a thank you to all regular posters who post interesting Data and Charts .
  11. As already been stated all modells showing some v mild temp and plenty of rain for many ,and some good interesting weather if any deep lows do form and run across or near us .im always very pleased to see typical autumn weather in the right season .gives us a chance then to see mother nature Balance the books at a later date .so i think to say if we all switched of our computers now for the next 10 days we would know the generall synoptic situation come 27th of October ,ANY TAKERS .
  12. certainly a real autumnal looking modell output ,and as been already stated cold air tantalising us coldies to our north .certainly a set up for the developement of possibly some deep lows ,and perhaps some newsworthy weather in NW europe over the coming weeks .on pulling the curtains this morning one could have thought winter was already here , i did spend severall minutes at 4am this morning whilst having a fag outdoors thinking well if we can get this mid October what could the winter bring .interesting times ahead gang ,i hope this coming winter to post some data etc ,our computer is on the blink and iv a new desk top waiting in its box so when iv mastered windows 8 i will give it a try .we could start seeing some interesting FAX charts ,will catch up later after modell updates
  13. Evening fellow posters .iv just had a look at current charts having spent some time away from computer lately and the weeks ahead do look very interesting which is better than being stuck in a rut with a fat azores high .indeed i made a mistake tonight looking at last frame of GFS ,STAND BY YOUR BEDS a Dart board low is on its way .just got back from walk with the dog ,it certainly feels like mid winter out there at the moment .here we are already in mid autumn and at present all signs in outputs keeps this theme going with perhaps some lively autumn weather with cold air not that far away and mild air also in the picture ,certainly one to watch is the developement of high pressure to our north which if it developes could bring some high rainfall totals in the further outlook ,and perhaps GFS is starting to hint at this .i know many dont look at gfs far out but sometimes these forecasting modells flip and change and then bring things in closer at a later date ,are we in for a roller coaster ride this winter ,i personally think so .
  14. Hi gang ,from a weather fanatics wanting ,yes bring it on ,but a winter from hell [say the coldest and snowiest ever recorded or documented by far would bring hell to thousands ] .we would certainly cope although generally thousands would suffer big time .temp would be a problem but heavy falls of snow combined with wind would cause in my opinion the worst conditions .IF you take the vulnerable who rely on home visits for food shopping and medical assistance , this would be denied for many when roads especially side roads get snow bound .yes and the Govenment do have planning for these events ,and forecasting ahead is more accurate these days for say blocking situations ,snow falls always harder to forecast .i attended a society meeting back in the 80s when a fellow presented severe winters of the 1500 hundreds and 1600hundreds ,all done from records kept by monks and church records ,no temp recording way back then but many parts of NW /europe froze over for months .with the freezing of the Thames always remember not so much warm water from homes and buisneses enters it ,also it was wider in parts and bridges were built different so large expances of stone supports slowed down the flow ,but even so these freezes were more common .so this winter ahead would be nice to see an even distribution of snow and cold enough to get excited about ,plenty of lamp post watching and radar watching ,i know the last severall yrs have delivered for some but a truly good un as been a while nationally ,2010 was a severe late nov till late christmas affair ,spot on for some ,are we due the big one gang .
  15. Evening all ,lets enjoy some warm weather ,im pretty sure even some of us coldies can squeeze in some bbq days before the nights become colder and darker . looking at current charts i think i will pack some rain gear for our holiday in mijorca next week for 12 nights ,got caught out about 20 or so yrs ago in late september warm but plenty of thundery days ,please keep the very interesting data coming from regular contributers that makes our Net Weather site so interesting , ill be back with a tan i hope in october ready for our autumn and winter ,lets hope its a memoriable one ,
  16. Good evening gang ,iv not posted for a while but here goes ,a brilliant start to September ,certainly cheerfull weather with most other news not so cheerfull .looking at modells and data after friday we have some action weather which most forecast modells agree on but as usual low pressure centres and tracks all slightly different .there could be some headline news regarding rainfall so certainly an interesting time a coming .Fax charts as usual come into play ,and it was great to see a fax chart with Correction on it ,to me there is a certain work of art looking at these charts .what ever is the outcome past next week its certainly down hill now ,but we all want to go there dont we ,bring on the 528 dam line ,i did see it a few days ago on a chart but not sure where ,cheers gang
  17. Evening all ,lets hope some of us see some thundery action later tomorrow ,the synoptic situation is looking good ,but timing of front moving in from west will be critical .so i think its a case of tuning in to tomorrows updated charts and radar and satelite view later in the day .i might push the boat out and have half a thatchers now im off antibiotics ,and perhaps a cheese and onion sandwich ,but no crisps ,box is empty .cheers gang
  18. Evening all ,a little bit of a nip out there this evening but looking forward to this weeks increasing sun and heat .a good possibility of somewhere possibly hitting high twentys and an increasing chance of some thundery weather later ,but at this range still a hard call for followig week but high pressure does look like being in the frame especially for southern parts .lets grab it while we can as i noticed tonight how much further west from my view that sun is setting ,at the 240hr range on tonights ECM it wouldnt need much to put us in a very good end to a much better summer ,of course tomorrow, runs could totally change especially if mid atlantic becomes more active as things further west kick off ,but thats way in the much longer range .
  19. Morning gang ,things are already hotting up on Net weather even before any warm spell arrives ,we must ALL take a good look at our post before hitting that button .plenty of action weatherwise and a very good chance looking at current data of a good v warm spell next week .lets grab it with open arms ,some excellent data still being posted on our brilliant forum ,we also have the possibility of some action weather out in the very very long range frames of modells so plenty to keep us on our toes .
  20. Welcome to NET Weather ,yes a lively forum and sometimes a real rollercoaster ,filled with many interesting things Meteorological wise .great fun come late autumn and winter ,back on topic and still signs on modells of a real possible warm up next week but still at this range how long this lasts is a hard call at this range ,positioning of high pressure at the v long range will be critical especially how it orientates and either pulls in continental air ,atlantic sourced and many other combinations .but lets hope the dice falls in our favour again as today was for me more like an october day and we still have bbq meat in freezer so bring it on .
  21. Its brilliant to come on this forum and find so much information charts data little bits of interesting modell related articles .im still pretty dosed up with drugs after my op 2 wks ago but lost over 20ib so my wife as said i can have new computer ,so hopefully once iv mastered windows 8 i too can put in some technical stuff [in time perhaps for our winter punch up and IMBY bantering ].on todays modells it does look like after this weekends low we could get another warm spell but still at this range any high pressure and its location will be the big factor ,but it would be nice to see another warm spell to take us to the end of august .
  22. I would not like to make a call past this weekend going by current data and charts ,i think outlook up till sunday as been called ok at the moment but past this is all down to positioning of high pressure ,signs yes of a warm week next week [commensing 19th august ]but only signs, i think a few more runs needed before we get out the sun cream and stock up on BBQ food and sun hats .weather seems to be in a quiet mood at the moment ,what is lurking out there gang ,nows the time to put a bet on a white christmas ,cheers all .
  23. Evening all ,a bit of a mixed week going by current charts and gradually warming up .some good signs of pressure rising after low pressure later this week ,but of course at this range if the low comes further south it could be an early autumn feel for a few days but with pressure rising and setting up in the right place we could get some Good summer warmth .im pretty sure this summer as not yet finished dishing up warm days and data at present seems to be hinting at this ,thanks for posters who collect and publish this info on our NET Weather forum , .
  24. Evening all ,looking at tonights modells data etc i would say nothing of anything newsworthy in outlook except where high pressure sets up after 8/10 days time will dictate any warm spell or cooler west or even northerly type weather ,but of course many variations on this theme is possible but we certainly have had a good summer so far apart from some small blips .but i do have a gut feeling that eventually we will see what i call an interesting spell of weather ,possibly in about 2 wks time just gut feeling but i think present climate on a big scale is in a quick change artist mode ,certainly not boring this weather hobby ,just had a look at sunset ,and more manmade clouds [Contrails ] than natures clouds , .
  25. yeah in about another 220 ish runs of ECM and 450 ish runs of GFS etc we will have an idea of coming winter ,but back on topic ,and calmish weather with a possible temp spike possibly occuring in further outlook is in my opinion on the cards looking at modells .probably central and southern parts catching any high pressure ,but as is usual past 10 days is always a hard one to call ,i missed the fireworks as some will know as my best storm was spent in hospital last week and before ,i didnt get a window bed but everything else was spot on ,thanks for regards sent from certain posters ,much appreciated .
