  1. I imagine they'll be some quick transatlantic flights going west to east tonight/early tomorrow!

    Some very streamlined middle/high level cloud here in the last half hour

    200kts+ tailwinds do help when travelling at over 450kts. Not quite so appealing when moving east to west :)

    Crazy 24-36hrs or so coming up with storm force winds, rain, snow and blizzards all on the menu!! Breeze starting to pick up here, over the next few hours the wind will pick up quite quickly from the west, widespread gales towards midnight & into the early hours with storm force winds for the far NW. Waiting for the 12z NMM4 to update.

    Appreciate the updates Liam, not least live and direct reports. Ever thought of moving nearer Stornaway lol.

  2. I have an unease about this one. Lets see what tomorrow brings.

    Really will be a case of cancelling or re arranging all none essential journeys, during the worst anyway. Maybe get in a few extras bits in the larder beforehand, not panic buy mind! Here's hoping a healthy dose of common sense prevails, which I'm sure the vast majority will take heed of.

    Good to have members in all corners of the country if I'm honest. All reports welcomed.

  3. As I mentioned earlier on, amber alerts now in force for the far NW. Gusts nudging 100mph could warrant a red perhaps nearer the time or should the need arise. Admittadily an area quite used to ferocious gales and storms, where the focus for the next batch of disturbed weather continues for now. Next week still throwing up several more deep lows to potentially slam in, riding on a supercharged jet stream, no doubt more on those as time progresses. Fair to say plenty to be keeping watch on for the next few days and beyond.

  4. Amanda, try not to worry about it, although that's easier said than done. When all is said and done the weather will be the last thing on your mind. Even if it gets disruptive you can make fun out of it. There was that couple this year on the news whose wedding was completely rained off, but they incorporated that into their pictures and they were lovely.

    Above all you are marrying the person you love. I hope it goes perfectly for you :)

    Altogether now! Actually that makes perfect sense lol. Stuff the cruddy weather, feel sorry for some folk who tie the knot in allegedly the warmer months and get a big shock..at least six inches of snow could be memorable for all the right reasons.

    Drizzle, mild westerlies or south westerlies and or boring gunk far from it :) Lauren says it all.

    Off to kip now lol. Or prop up a bar. Both?

  5. we are getting a mish mash of the both and when we get closer to the weekend this thread will explode with weekend stuff.

    Know exactly what you're saying, my point remains both are still up for debate as to accuracy, strength, actual track etc etc. - until we pin down the first potential storm the second is pardon the pun, still pretty much in second place. I think the second possible low shall perhaps or more than likely be discussed (no surprises) during next weekends episode or nearer the time? Does bring back a few reminders to some points last year and given the latest, no escaping that and in my humblest opinion. Plenty more to watch out for as the next phase of Winter 2014/15 beckons.

  6. We cannot dismiss the idea that even one of the predicted storms possibly takes a slightly more southerly route. As for the predicted monster for around the 15th, a fair old beast on par to 1987 I would imagine. Obviously a lot can change until then and probably will, we've only got this weekend to get out of the way first. Given the prognosis by some for around mid month, this weekend may well just be a leaf rustler.

    Nonetheless the jet is steaming ahead regardless, it sure ain't going to be too bothered of what (or who) gets in its way. Interesting times ahead if not a rather precarious one for forecasters trying to paint an accurate picture, without causing unnecessary panic. At this stage anyway.

    Cheers.

  7. I've still been in holiday mode, so I've not hand a chance to look at recent output.

    A quick glance at the GFS jet stream charts sum it up.

    I look at this and think, ooof!

    attachicon.gifviewimage.png

    Pretty much sums up the potential. Top of the scale stuff and some serious weather heading our way. This lot could blow our more recent windier periods well and truly into the bushes. Literally!

    Expecting amber warnings mid week on or should the signals continue to appear on those charts. An exceptional spell of weather now looking more likely.

  8. Looks like we're heading into a very mobile pattern over the next week with plenty of potential for stormy weather, some very intense depressions have been modelled over recent days. The 8th to the 10th is looking quite interesting imo - lots to keep an eye on.

    Certainly is. Any slight shift of colder uppers and some eye candy charts could well appear in the mix too, usually at pretty short notice. Even tomorrow's potential is keeping many on their toes re some more wintry stuff. Mid Jan also has the hallmark for a more pronounced northwest flow at times bringing localised gales, wintry even thundery showers and snow for some. Nothing boring into the foreseeable, new year some new challenges for sure.

  9. Howdee all! Finally decided to take the plunge and sign up. Hope everyone's semi enjoying the festive break, maybe some last minute bargain hunting? Bit grey and certainly snowless in Tunbridge currently, drab with a capital D! Nice to see that some have had a bit of the white stuff further north. Here's to more chances of snow.
