Already up to 52 mph so that prediction maybe a bit on the low side. I guess TM is already around 65 mph.

Nowhere near that but I rest my case. Quietened down here now.

[Zenarcher]

Highest gust here last night 70mph. Now gusting to 56mph with very heavy hail showers.

[The PIT]

Max gust here was 53 mph at 00:30 I wonder what TM got. Breezy this morning but not anything of note.

[Terminal Moraine]

59 mph here, Pit, at about the same time. It was certainly lashing the rain at the windows for 10 minutes or so.

if that low keeps it intensity then it will be headline news in places, i would say possible storm force winds with 90mph gusts in the worse affected areas, worth noting when its ut at sea the wind is approaching hurricane force.. however gfs does overcook depressions if its still there on wednesday then maybe start worrying!

Yes, it's a fair way out in Model terms, but it is certainly one that needs watching.

Yes, every night I will update to see how it progresses. It may turn out to be just a windy day or it could turn out to be a bad storm.
