[Thunder Snow]

Dry and cold here

EA now have 25 flood advisories covering most rivers in the region and virtually all of those running east from the Pennines are also under advisories.

Low lying areas are certainly going to be under threat as rivers drain and more locally to here, I'd imagine that the flood sirens in Todmorden and other towns along the Calder Valley will be in use later today or overnight.

[Liam J]

Moderate rain falling here, temp fallen slightly to 8.5c.

Rain is pretty steady here and it's still only showing light blue on the radar, heavier stuff pepping up later....not looking good even at this early stage for those in lower areas especially near rivers, which I expect will become raging torrents over the course of the next few days.

 

p.s My thoughts go out for those in Paris.

[cowdog]

Been raining here all day, and its increasing all the time as expected.

Really worried around here, especially for Skipton and Crosshills as the flood defenses haven't been completed, this has the hall marks of being a significant event. Especially as we already had flooding around here 3 days ago.

 

likelihood of flooding in some areas.

 

If it plays out like the hi res models are predicting most areas on the North half of the Pennines will be flooded. Question is will Carlisle's defences hold?

Getting a bit heavier here now, although as you said the forecast still keeps the heavier stuff away until later.

Agree about events in Paris and it just shows how vulnerable we all are while these idiots are following their lunatic views.

RIP the inocent victims.

[Liam J]

It's stopped raining with glimpses of blue sky, quite surprised but very welcome! Don't imagine it will stay that way.

Yes lol

[Thunder Snow]

Is it me or is the main bulk further south looks like it starting to break over Cumbria

[Summer Sun]

That seems to be the case at the moment though the amber warning doesn't actually come into affect till 18:00 its going to be a case of waiting and watching the radar

 

The Amber warning for parts of the Northwest is one stage off a red warning

 

[damianslaw]

Light rain only so far, very light in the main, but the heavier stuff isn't expected until later this afternoon - still a lot of uncertainty just how intense the rainfall becomes, where will catch the heaviest stuff and for how long...

 

Its been a cold day so far as well - very much a November feeling day, gloomy grey skies..

[itsnowjoke]

Would just like to say my thoughts are with all the families and friends of those that were killed in Paris lastnight and too all those that were injured too what an indescribable act of insanity RIP

The main rain isn't expected until later this evening onwards.

I think we might get of lightly looking at the current radar
