Possible severe storm Monday 28th October 2013 Part 3

[Cyclonic]

Getting pretty windy here on IOW now, some very strong gusts

[Robbie Garrett]

Regardless of what's happening and what everyone's thoughts are. This so called super storm has claimed its first life as the search in Newhaven is too dangerous to continue and has been called off.

[radiohead]

Pressure still dropping at Seven Stones. 983.6mb at 0Z.

Really do feel for the young mans family. This is why the RNLI are the only charity i will donate to. Whatever the weather they are there

Very upsetting I hope there will be no more deaths.

whast the predicted mb for this system before it goes onto north sea..?

[piers corbyn is a genius]

Welcome to NW, Piers...if you could just pop your location in your profile...

 

Thank you very much. I am not Piers by the way, just astonished by his forecasts!

In North Staffs, will update profile now.

[coldfingers]

LBC 97.3 â€@lbc973 48m

The Met office say the #ukstorm cld last longer than thought up until midday. No trains to the airports. Southern airports may have to close

 

 

Following on from what Sky is saying is there something we don't know?

 

the media in the uk are pathetic with their over dramatic headlines.

Wait a while, it is coming your way, already getting worrying here. I can already hear the roof tiles lifting and clattering in the gusts.

Goodnight.....sleep tight.... We will see if this is overhyped!

[pages]

some places in the south west at 981mb at present, average from models had 984mb at this time perhaps it will be more intense as sky say but then why no red warning from MEt?

[Lightning Ed]

985mb here falling at 3mb/hr...

 

edit to add no wind to report just yet.

Sky news confirming the possibility of 80kt winds is at surface level, and not  at 3000ft as initially thought.

wow!!

[samadamsuk]

Raining moderately here, and not breath of wind. It's almost impossible for me to tell what's happening as far as upper air goes - the jet profile did look pretty messy though and prone to moving us out of right entrance/left exit + trough phasing possibly - still - cant rule anything out with this one

 

(Hi Piers CIAG - you'll get potentially shredded on any public forum unfortunately! - the vast majority of posters are astonished for the opposite reasons. I just hope you can weather that, and enjoy the forum if you have a love of weather - welcome!. maybe change your profile name?) 

[Stormyking]

The Needles (IOW) has just recorded 83mph, and worse is still to come!

18Z NAE had it as 982-980mb at midnight so that sound about right.

[samadamsuk]

hey Stormyking - where are you getting these obs from ?

[Luton Weather]

We might see Met Office upgrading the warnings to Red Alert

Off to bed now.. Will be up at around 7am.

[Lightning Ed]

We might see Met Office upgrading the warnings to Red Alert

Opinion, or heard something ?

[Skullzrulerz]

wow!

Anyone know where and how deep the low is right now?

00h run doesn't show it 

 

Haven't a clue where, but my late father in law's barometer (very old and accurate - he was a pilot) says pressure is dropping rapidly now. 00:52 hrs and it's 986mb was 988 15 minutes ago. Every time I tap it it's gone down 3mbs.

Sky News did say 55kts-70kts with a possibility of 80kts, which is 60-80mph with a chance of 90mph. I guess nothing is set in stone just yet, they must still be quite unsure on how rapidly it will intensify over the next 6-8 hours.

[igoodso]

So any ideas how bad it will be in Norwich

[Stormyking]

hey Stormyking - where are you getting these obs from ?

Mate of mine lives out that way, and has just told me about it, also another mate rang me to say the same, tbh im not suprised, it roaring like anything out there at the moment
