Did anyone catch TS's bbc1 late forecast last night?

"rapidly going downhill from the west" looks something of an overstatement? as rainfalls southern extent looks to be just skirting the northern coast of N IRE? (latest 9am radar image)  whereas Shafernaeker  had a full rain band sweeping just about all of the uk? 

Unless the cold front is further behind the warm just out of radar coverage with the occluded portion further north?

funny feeling the AH as more influence here lookin at the 500 charts but hey,  wadoo i know?
