Deep Low Pressure set to hit Norway

[opplevelse]

Well this is a deep one, but knowing the models it will probably fill up by the time it gets close to old Noggy land. With a predicted min central pressure of 960mBar, this should bring a fair bit of rain and snow to the south west coast and inland ... and i'm off skiing there this weekend ... cry for me if you must.

Anyway, one to keep an eye on!

This has now droped below 960hPa on the latest +48hr GFS

Fairly fast moving it is now progged to track straight over oslo towards Sweden, rather than to the North as before. Probably about 5-10cm + of snow for much of the mountains

is that the same low that will be affecting the uk tomorrow?

Ja.

Did you notice the 00z temp at M6 buoy, 21 C ???

Probably another gremlin but I was expecting a warmer flow than the previous hour when it was 11 C.

Where do you get the bouy data from?

Low is nudging for a 956hPa central pressure at the moment, at its deepest around midnight GMT, and then rapidly weakening. Pity, it would make a great view on the vis sat shot, but the current sattelite photo is not showing anything at all really. Pity ...

I will be right in the center of this low's path near a ski resort called hemsedal ... this is the current forecast.http://www.yr.no/place/Norway/Buskerud/Hemsedal/Hemsedal/hour_by_hour.html

Should be fun considering we are arriving at 9pm! will try and take some photos
