As I've just mentioned on the mod thread, most models tonight seem to think 90mph will be achieved close to built up areas in the NE. A red warning would not surprise me.

yowzers, lets hope it doesn't get quite as bad as that. 

[Man With Beard]

Met Office latest from Chief Forecaster. Still going for 75mph or "maybe more". Was this recorded before the 12Z runs?

Icon 18Z - is that 180km/h just off Teeside? I think I've added the colours up correctly. It all feels a bit surreal.

Brutal winds  very high winds inland also Wales and west mids approaching 80 mph   higher than storm Doris for around here 

[Had Worse]

97Knts or approx 111Mph

[emmett garland]

that would be close tou national record of 98 knots in limerick in 1945 and 97 knots during ex hurricane debbie sept 1961

[Man With Beard]

GFS 18Z out - it was the last main model resembling the Met Office warning at 12Z - but it's now come into line - 90mph hits the NE on this model too now

In Ireland of course debbie was malin head in donegal

Sorry only out on France view yet ARP . Many areas getting very strong winds 

[weirpig]

And harmonie 

As the low on a slightly different track. But look at the north east 

[P-M]

Looking very wild across the North east in my location tomorrow evening.  I don't think I've seen charts like it for my area before? To be fair it's likely to not be as intense (I'm hoping) as they suggest but even so a downgrade on those charts would still bring some severe disruption across the area!

Looks like another model into the 110mph category.

I'm torn between thinking - are we looking at an historic wind event here? And, surely it isn't going to be that bad, because things like this don't happen?

And... you know the script... apparently a women (fictiously)  rang the BBC etc...  Yes it did happen and no doubt it will happen somewhere again.

Winds of that speed normally come from the west or north-west and cause problems at the best of times,but to have those sort of gusts from the north would be highly unusual and would cause much more damage.

It the wind direction also quite rare event we could be seeing across most of the country 

[Had Worse]

Potential storm surge to go with all that wind too.

And the Met Office warnings leave me out of the amber zone.  Just a blustery day here.
