Heavy rain is expected to spread northeastwards across the UK during Friday. The public should be aware of the possibility of local flooding and disruption to travel.

Morning all.

In work, after a breakfast of Levi Roots Reggae Reggae Chicken with Spicy Jamaican Curry Sauce – there’s a reason for such a weird breakfast...

Absolutely filthy drive into work this morning with vehicles recycling the copious salt that’s now on the roads. The worst commute of the season for the road muck. I hope that the predicted 10-13 mm of rain for my location today, from the recent NMM model here, washes most of it away. Interestingly a lot of Kent is expected to have twice my area’s rainfall.

Happy POETS day to you all and have a nice weekend. My Christmas mentality starts for me after daylight hours today, as my local is doing a couple of Christmas functions this weekend.

tomorrow looks horrid

Morning John, morning all!

It certainly looks a bit nasty and the wind has started whipping up already, gusting to 28.0 mph with higher to come. A balmy 7.6°C is a bit of a shock after the last few days!

Rain is on it's way but GFS has it confined to the area around me on the coast at first:

Then more widely into the North East of our region:

Here it comes!

[Coast]

I've just been through the convective/TStorm/tornado/gusty wind chances for today here:

A lot of it applies to our region

Yes, must be a reasonable chance for the South Coast area later.

I think all that I might see here would be heat lightning from anything that develops some way offshore, unfortunately.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

An inch of rain is expected widely across our region and I would expect more on the coast there is a high chance of some flooding as I think the rain is going to come down thick and fast so poss flash flooding could be an issue.

I like this warm spell as it's bringing some "lively" weather with it

[Steve C]

Here is the NMM model predicted rainfall today, until midnight. I've found it to be quite accurate so far, in my limited (six months ) experience of using it.

[Keraunic]

Mornin each. Very blustery in Ippy today and still chilly.

Have a great POETS day all, and remember....keep your eyes open......otherwise you'll bump into things.

[Coast]

Yes, must be a reasonable chance for the South Coast area later.

I'm pleased at the potential for helical stuff, maybe a rumble of thunder, but this rain coming through is really going to pelt down and I expect some localised flooding around here

[Snowangel-MK]

Morning all,

Back to the damp and mild mush this morning, as expected.....4.7 °C here....bring back my frost !

I really hope it cleans the roads though. The amount of times I had to use the windscreen washer this morning was worrying. Needless to say, I'll be topping up at lunchtime.

I've just eaten a jam doughnut for dessert - someone's birthday here. I've a feeling today isn't going to be too healthy.

It feels like it's about to rain here, but it looks like the main area of rain has just reached a line from Brighton to Swindon, so a bit more waiting I think.
