Bouy/Ship? near centre of Low reporting pressure of 965hPa
with a pressure drop of 18.2hPa in just 3 hours
Seems to be a Ship, presumably moored as it's not moved much in the last few hours http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/radial_search.php?lat1=59.070N&lon1=11.420W&uom=M&dist=450
58.7N -14.5W
-
Wow, Ship Report in from 58.7N -14.9W, pressure tendency -16.6mb!! she's defo bombing

So strange that it's fairly calm here just now, just a 14mph SW'ly at Edinburgh Airport circa 1820. To think in 6 hours it will be wild
-
GFS 12z puts average speeds for K5 Buoy at 82mph for 12am tonight but it doesn't seem to be reporting wind speeds now so we might not get any wind reading from it
Yeah Sean shame about that, there's also ship reports that might come in during the night. Some appear to be showing windspeeds http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/radial_search.php?lat1=59.070N&lon1=11.420W&uom=M&dist=450
One at 58.70 -15.70 reporting a -8.7mb drop in pressure. Currently 983mb
-
K5 buoy is one to keep an eye on tonight, centre of the low should pass nearby http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=64045
Later on in the night as the centre moves eastwards, K7 will be one to watch http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=64046
Pressure falling rapidly at K5 now, 993.7mb and tendency is -4.9mb. Will be interesting to see how low this one gets

200kts+ tailwinds do help when travelling at over 450kts. Not quite so appealing when moving east to west
Appreciate the updates Liam, not least live and direct reports. Ever thought of moving nearer Stornaway lol.
Yeah, quite a large number of the E to W's travelled up over Greenland today, routing so that they missed the strong tailwinds.

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

Another superb source of imagery is http://www.sat.dundee.ac.uk/, you can create a free account and view polar orbiting satellite imagery from both the NOAA sats and the EUMETSAT sats (Metop)

Lovely blue skies at the moment after a squally rain shower around 30 mins ago
5C
1009mb, steady
Winds F4 W
-
80mph gusts closes the Forth road bridge completely
Yeah, I wouldn't want to be going anywhere near that bridge tonight/early tomorrow!

Met Office warnings issued at 1013 - amber extended
Forth-Clyde Valley looking rough
A vigorous depression is expected to run rapidly east passing northern Scotland on Thursday night and Friday morning. Winds will begin to increase late on Thursday to give a period of very strong westerly winds through the Forth-Clyde valley, with gusts 60-70 mph quite widely, and isolated gusts to 80 mph. Winds should quickly ease from the west during the morning.
The public should be prepared for the potential for disruption to transport, and are advised to check latest forecasts before travelling. Power supplies may also be affected and there is the possibility of structural damage.Bawbag Jr?

Highest winds look fairly short-lived but if I recall Bawbag was fairly similar

Like many others, has to be 2010 by a mile. 20-25cm of lying snow here, double that in the countryside. Temperatures sub zero all day with night time lows of -11/-12C on a few occasions. The constant stream of North Sea convective showers in the form of snow, hail and graupel was absolutely beautiful. Also had a few thundersnow events which kept things very interesting!

Anyone heading out to watch this tonight/tomorrow? Waning gibbous moon does rise at the back of 10 though so will wash out the faintest but we should still see the brightest coming through
Forecast looks good for most of Scotland, eastern N.Ireland and the bulk of England -
Chucked it down here for the last 20 mins or snow. Initially wasn't lying but now is
Temp now 0.4C, down from 1.5C. Will be going out in a sec to take a few pics

two pretty large flashes of lightning here around 15-20 mins ago, nothing since and seems to be brightening up again
-
4 rumbles of thunder in the last 20 mins but no lightning sighted yet. Feels ominous

Waiting for the cell over in fife to cross the forth and survive, just taken a southward turn towards Edinburgh at 1500 though
. Might get side swiped if i'm lucky -
very good site here - http://www.mcewan.co.uk/nlc/ Useful forum as well when there's a good display on
-
Quitened down here for the last hour but hopeful of more later
http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/wingkp/ predictions of KP 7.3 in the next 4 hours
-
Crystal clear here, huge diffuse green band 45 degrees up, looks like high cloud but wow! hoping it improves going towards local midnight
EDIT 2201: Incredible display, streaks, vertical stacks, greens with occasional pinks. All up to 50 degrees high

Climbing out the hold and looks like UAE19 is off to Glasgow/Edinburgh
More than likely Glasgow Intl as it usually handles 777's. Edinburgh could in theory but Glasgow's runway is slightly longer
-
Marked increase in the wind here also in the last hour, very gusty at times

This one doesn't seem to be having much success landing either. Besides that, how many squall lines are forming across the South West & Wales ? ~ At least 2 may'be 3 ?http://www.flightradar24.com/EIN386
Yup looks like they'll be a few more this evening in the same situation, looks like he's decided to stack
