Crewecold: "I have to say, on balance, I favour the GFS outcome on this one. Since this morning the GFS has been downgrading this storm in terms of severity and I wouldn't bet against it in this situation. Just my view on proceedings. Obviously though, I'm not a trained meteorologist." ooh, you should know better than to bet against the UKMO/ECM. FWIW I think you're right (hunch)
