It's a part of the World I know quite well as I used to work for a company in Waterlooville, unfortunately I don't think it will be the only problem area over the next 36 hours
Cold front clearing through during the day:
Then another, stationary front behind it until tomorrow:
Friday looks like a lull, before Saturday kicks off again:
Eastbourne live:
Don't go on Sunday, it will be murder!
The start of Saturday also a wet one, NW Extra NMM charts just coming into the time-frame and you can imagine what's coming our way after this:
Shopping Centre roof collapse being out own to high winds now, but I didn't register anything abnormal last night???

Got home last night to discover they had changed all the street lamps in my road to LED/halogen ones from the old Sodium yellow units. Whilst I applaud East Sussex CC for their Eco-Friendly, energy saving initiative it's really dark out there now and it's going to play havoc with any snow-watch activities next year!!
My home weather station always seems to under-read against the nearest, official one at The Weather Shop (about 2 miles away), but the overnight rain totals tally far too well...

Saturday now coming into range and another major headache on top of what will be saturated or flooded ground from this lot:
Those areas on lower ground or subject to run-off are likely to be affected if they aren't already.
