    For southern coasts the shipping forecast, at 17:25,  has the area from Thames all along the south & South west coast, through the irish sea to shannon the winds reaching storm force 11 at some point, so I wouldn't be suprised if a red warning along the south coast appears at some time tomorrow.  definiately not a day to go sailing.

    Yup, saw that, got a flood alert through for eastbourne/pevensey/bexhill area

    Really glad I've not got to go anywhere on Friday!
     

    Ex wife is away with the kids - tried suggesting she might be wise to consider heading back tomorrow night rather than Friday but I don't think she's going to listen to me!
     

    Yeah I’m having a similar issue with the ex husband who thinks it’s going to be easy to drive from a small rural village in east sussex to a seaside location.. around midday..

    Entirely speculative on my part, but i could see the MetO simply blanketing the south coast as a precaution. Looking at the loop Mike has posted - they will be onshore winds also, so not good with the tide times.  That is however with the current track, which is probably as bad as it could be for the south coast, a slight change of track will probably make a big difference. 

    Bristol channel however, that looks grim unless a good correction south.

    High tide here in East Sussex 12.38 - seafront properties struggle here with lesser winds backing the tides, so this could be wet and expensive for some.

    Looking like a decent period of wind for coastal East Sussex tomorrow evening... Seems like the general consensus among models is 60mph+ around here! I reckon a walk along the seafront will be in order.

    That explains why I can’t stand upright, made it to the Victorian shelter that plays music, with our very late lunch. Sea looks amazing

    Last night turned out much better than expected. At first it was the same old lightning over the sea job, as the storm moved north it stayed west of us producing some lovely pink lightening, it then slowly shifted north east and casually passed north of us. Following rapidly behind was another cell, yet against producing plenty of nice lightning and some nice rolls of thunder, it followed the first storms path. By the time it departed there was ANOTHER cell out to sea, this time it was approaching from slightly further east, lightning was spaced further apart but boy they were good ones, lots of CG’s. This storm delighted us by not taking the exact same route as the first ones, and stayed on course for a direct hit, and yes it hit. We were caught off guard several times by large lightening strikes close by, pretty sure there was one within half a mile if not closer, we’re talking Postive CG crackle huge explosion and deep floor and shelter vibrating rumbles. Then the rain hit, huge convective drops straight down in sheets, visibility reduced and rivers running down the prom. The storm passed over head heading north east providing some lovely lightening to the north of us as we made our tired  yet charged way home.
