Sorry for taking this thread off course but it is not fair to say that the Yahoo weather app is "GFS-fed". The forecast for the App is generated by us at the Weather Channel and in recent years it often uses more ECMWF than GFS as we have a choice as to which model to use. It is also edited by forecasters such as myself, although granted we don't always get it right. We pay a considerable sum of money to the ECMWF for full access to their model data, just as Meteogroup do. Thanks, John

A turn around of ~2 hours from going down to being back up again in the middle of the night is pretty good. I was thinking it wouldn't be back up again until working hours. I am a bit disapointed that only my second post ever wasn't in the convective discusion though.

Yet more flooding in nw Italy yesterday. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-15602121 This probably isn't the last of it for the weekend either as the rain is set to continue through the weekend.
