Safe to say I won't be cleaning my windies for a while yet. I will however be down at the coast taking pics and videos again. Serious stormage from this Atlantic barrage.

I have asked for a weather station for xmas,i so wish i could have it now ready for this next incoming low,but then again it might get broken in the strong winds lol :smilz38:

Personally I think it's a bit extreme to think being a fan of extreme weather is a bad thing .

People are fans of motosport, boxing, horse racing, football. All of which have unfortunate casualties. Being a fan of extreme weather and wanting it to happen IS NOT the same as wishing death on people. If anything those who are fans of extreme weather are more likely to spot this kind of stuff happening and getting better warnings in place.

Much better to be a fan of the extremities of nature than to be a fan of terrorist extremism.

True i also do like extremes in weather but i always keep in mind that weather kills ( some parts of the world are worst than others) as long as you keep that in mind.

In my entire life there were 2 events where i was really aware that causalties were unfortunately unavoidable : was in 1999 26th december hurricane storm in Paris ( 100 plus miles whriling wind)

started around 4 am woke me up , wanted to open shutters and window but first went upstairs to see how it was and when i saw first tree down ,then second, third....really wished no one was out and about

And the heat wave of 2003 as young( ok almost young!!!in my 30's) and healthy as i was i could not bear it and started to wonder about poor old people in small aparts high up in buildings .

All people with weather extremes interests should need to keep in mind that weather can kill, even if you are caught in a thunderstorm outside.( don't remember when but a couple of years back i was happy when a thunderstorm hit Paris but 2 people were dead as they walk out of a park and were touching an iron gate when lightning stroke)

but then yes i was exited to see this thunderstorn.

As long as we are aware of the suffering that may occur. With nature danger is never too far away for your onwn life.But will not stop chatting about or trying to understand weather and about my own experience about it.

Good weekend to all and all be safe for next week .

Ps could we have a little breeze too to make the rest of leaves fall on the trees near my flat?

ECM appears to have shifted the storm slightly further North

So worth a watch!!!!

pmsl that is fantastic

[Gorath]

Wasn't the reason this last storm had such enormous windspeed linked to the fact that the jetstream was in alignment with it, and reinforcing the winds?

From what I can see, there's no real correlation yet on the models between mon/tuesday's jetstream and forecast winds.

[Snow and storms]

will these storms next week be another example of explosive cyclogenisis?

[Marie]

If this was to come off what wind speeds down here in the south east coast would you imagine we might see? sorry still learning lol :smilz38:

70-80mph gusts

[Marie]

70-80mph gusts

Really wow,thats double what we had yesterday and that was gusty lol,thanks for the reply

[ZONE 51]

The early warnings are there because there is the potential for this to be a dangerous gale/storm, we may see upgrades by late weekend, its a concern as to what is showing already before any upgrades, this really could be our turn for some extreme weather and it could be a situation that evolves into a damaging period of weather.

round these parts 70mph is likely to be a major problem i would think.

for the coast those waves would be extreme, sustained powerful winds whipping up those waves.

I don't know why but just for some reason I have a feeling that if the low does come off for next tuesday, that it will be further North then what it is showing currently. ECM has allready shifted the lows a bit more further north.

It would however be very windy for our area if it did come off with widespread wind gusts of probably 50mph or maybe more inland. Very Unlikely to be as bad as the storm yesterday however up in Scotland.

GFS 18z brings mon/tue storm system south, significantly heads for the south into tuesday

[aggy]

really hope we dont get any more bad ones here yesterday was a nightmare x

[Robbie Garrett]

Guys don't forget this storm is known as #HurricaneLauren - get it trending on twitter please!!

[ZONE 51]

The ECM brings the severe gales into the south to.

So at this stage it looks like many areas at risk of gales, the focus on the west/south, the southeast right in the firing line here to for this one, by sunday it could be be prepared, need to be sure about just how strong this is likely to be, its increasingly likely that areas not seen damaging winds would do next week.
