definitely mate....here's the latest radar grab for midlands/south wales, plenty of torrential rain mixed in.....edit, very gusty winds here right now..hmmm, I'm going to pop outside and investigate...

[dave48]

Yeah, latest GFS run has deepened the Low somewhat, which as I said earlier, is pushing this system into the 'notable' category for the far SW and SW Wales. Still looks like gusts into the 50s and high 60s will be typical across said areas, but a good few gusts touching 70mph or slightly higher should be expected - the strongest winds occuring during early on Saturday.

And that's not even mentioning the heavy rain and severe convective storm risk for tomorrow. It's looking interesting now folks!

Spot on, looks like an interesting one, best convective set up for ages not to mention the strong low.

[Iceberg]

Downgrade for Mondays event, but those 50 KT sustained 10m winds of South Wales and the Westcoutnry are pretty good.

[weatherobsuk]

First Bow-Line of this Front coming ashore just West of Bournemouth at the moment. Another Bow-Line like Convective feature just South of Chester too with a classic broken S shape West of Birmingham which will be giving some Convective gusts to anyone in that area currently.

[Iceberg]

Currently 5 miles from Bournemouth !.

Here's the 10m sustained.

An incredible storm system showing at 153, central pressure <944mb, further south than it was before. Is this the storm BFTP was hinting at for around the 20th Nov? I must say I am very impressed with forecasting from BFTP so far this Autumn.

(EDIT: Just realised this is really for Fri/Sat storms, Mods please feel free to move to Storm Disc. or Model Output Disc.)
