Atlantic Lows - November Onwards

[Cookie]

It does indeed look like a strong Low for next Tuesday into Wednesday. Though how many very deep LP systems have we seen predicted by the GFS a good few days before hand, being downgraded slightly to something a little less intense? Today being an example, as although winds will most likely gust to 65-70mph, perhaps slightly higher across exposed areas of the NW and SW Scotland, at the start of the week, we were looking at mean wind speeds of 70-80mph, with gusts to 100mph looking possible for the western isles of Scotland.

For here, during Tuesday we could be looking at some quite strong south westerlies, perhaps gusting into the 50s, especially as the CF moves through, so I'm looking forward to that!

been plenty of downgradges lately but id take any sort of storm at the moment

wednesday the next day to watch, if the gfs keeps this idea we will be looking at quite a dangerous storm system only 48 hours to go downgrade likely? well it cant upgrade or there will be another gfs hurricane which never comes off...

im off work for a week after tuesday interesting first day off wednesday!!

todays storm had a slight downgrade by the gfs on its 18z run from the 12z run, never the less it is very windy here with force 8 mean speeds on the coast and gusts 55-65mph noisy night for sleeping
