I posted this in the regional thread last night but I'm not sure if any admin is aware of it I think something has gone wrong with the 7 day local forecast from Netweather for Darlington Today (Sunday) is shown to have heavy / Torrential rain but today is sunny with it turning cloudy later http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=uk7dayx7;ct=8357~Darlington;sess=#forecast Yet Monday is shown to be mostly dry when its forecast to rain pretty much all day - http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=uk7dayx7;page=2;ct=8357~Darlington;sess=#forecast

I think something has gone wrong with the 7 day local forecast from Netweather for Darlington Tomorrow (Sunday) is shown to have heavy / Torrential rain when its due to be dry and sunny turning cloudy later http://www.netweathe...;sess=#forecast Yet Monday is shown to be mostly dry when its forecast to rain pretty much all day - http://www.netweathe...;sess=#forecast

John Hammond has provided a further update on the wet and windy weather forecast for the UK over the coming days For the south west tomorrow 50mph gusts are possible with 50mm of rain Into Monday an area between Birmingham and Edinburgh could see 50mm of rain with strong winds http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/19687222

ECM has Monday's depression at 990mb tonight Tuesday see's it deepen to 985mb with the center located near the Republic of Ireland Wednesday see's the depression ease with winds also easing across the north as it heads south By Thursday pressure is back above 1000mb with winds easing significantly Next Saturday has a Low pressure system located to the North East of Scotland with a north westerly flow starting to develop

This afternoon's UKMO follows its previous runs for Monday

An amber alert has now been issued for South West England on Sunday and Monday Everywhere except Orkney & Shetland and Highlands & Eilean Siar have a weather warning now for Monday http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/warnings/

Some heavy rain looks likely on Monday there could also be some flooding for parts of Wales over the coming week going by the rainfall totals showing during the week, the wind doesn't look like the main concern for Monday its the rain which looks like been the main concern for some areas with wales taking the brunt of it Rain totals for 18:00 Monday Totals for next Saturday Into the weekend and high pressure is shown to move in

The met office still only have warnings out for Sunday and Monday so they must feel at the moment Tuesday and Wednesday will be better days Which goes against there own mode which looks very unsettled certainly for Tuesday and the depression is shown to be just a deep as that of Monday

Stormy Heavy Rain and Gales http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-app/reports?LANG=en&MENU=weekahead&DAY=20120922

That's from 2011

Here we go 22nd September edition of the express and a winter blast is coming https://twitter.com/...6/photo/1/large And to get the facts right for the Express Gritters were NOT on standby in county Durham yesterday they were route testing quite a big difference

The BBC have a new video update for the stormy weather http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/19677758

A quick look at early next week Monday should be ok apart from Rain winds look fairly light for most the exception been north west Scotland and some eastern coasts Later in the day its the same Into Tuesday and most of mainland UK remains ok for the wind but it starts to whip up for the far north west and in the English channel Later in the day winds remain light for all but the far north west and in the English channel Into Wednesday and its the same still mainland uk remains with light winds whilst the far north west and the English channel stays windy I didn't see the 06z FI run so I don't know

Quite a nice start to October from GFS tonight Certainly a lot more settled than what early next week is looking like

Say goodbye to the autumn: Weather skips a season as cold, rain and gale-force winds head to Britain with gritters on roads already preparing for winter Temperatures to drop below zero with frost expected tomorrow morning Weather warning out for rainfall in southern England at the weekend 20-40mm of rain is expected in some places and winds as strong as 50mph Britons can wave goodbye to the autumn as swathes of the country are set to be hit with freezing cold temperatures, frost and gale-force winds in an abrupt end to the balmy season. Heavy rain and winds as strong as 50mph are expected to put a dampener on any weekend plans with some places seeing temperatures drop below freezing. As the weather appears to skip a season, some parts of the country will feel frost tomorrow morning and gritters are already in place in preparation for winter. A Darlington Gritter on a route checking run Motorists were greeted with the bleak sign that winter is on its way in County Durham, with gritters already patrolling the streets for signs of frost yesterday. The gritters signal fears that the cold weather is heading south from Scotland, where gritter crews in Aberdeen were spotted training earlier this month for an onset of wintery weather. Council chiefs eager to make sure the town is fully prepared for any unexpected snow falls in the run up to Christmas are making sure workers know how to operate the machinery. The Met Office said over the next month particularly unsettled weather is to be expected across the UK, with heavy rainfall and blustery winds. Those in the north and south of England will feel the temperature drop to freezing tonight, with those in Scotland experiencing temperatures below zero. http://www.dailymail...l#ixzz27764XcWx
