Not liking the look of Friday at all. Hope a significant shift north or south happens.

[MAF]

I am actually looking forward to Friday; with the obvious caveat that there is no injury or loss of life and people without power etc.

[Eagle Eye]

Feels like Spring with all these showers around, hopefully an omen for a good storm season.

Steady on ICON- 80mph+ in Bexhill!

Serious downgrades required or we need to start taking this storm more seriously... 

It's unusual to have model agreement so early on I think this is why the met have already issued a yellow warning.. 

GFS tends to over cook wind gusts... but the high res models are usually pretty good..

It’s my husband’s day off on Friday, he says he won’t be happy if we get a power cut as he wants to watch LOTR. So there will definitely be a power cut now

Be interesting to see how this does play out. Making sure my anemometer has fresh batteries!

[Bogman]

Friday, I'll mainly be drinking in London.

There we go, first decent looking spring shower pic this year

GFS 12Z t+96hrs

No thanks... I think this personally is the height of the GFS slightly over doing it... can't possibly get any worse. Expect it to tone down somewhat tomorrow and Wednesday... well I hope so

Latest Icon- 90mph-ish for bexhill, my word!

[Methuselah]

Twas a tad blowy a wee while back. But at least, with the new 8-in-1 multi cooker my daughter just bought me, I'll be eating curry & chips every day this week!

Could be a little windy, come Friday!

[John Stevens]

A little family break to the Isle of Wight…lovely photo taken on Sandown beach today following a sharp shower…. Not looking forward to the ferry back to Southampton on Friday though….

[Eagle Eye]

Spring showers around and about today 

Officially cannot wait for storm season 

[Sparky68]

Beautiful out there

Thats because we have had the most boring six weeks I can remember ,let it rip I say ..it's slowly preparing us ..I've even had a couple of showers today ..blimey it still exists then convection ...obsolete I thought

Try a slow cooked gammon in cola or a pork  loin in cola, highly recommend!

As for the wind, that'll be the Mutton Vindaloo (aka Del Boy)

After  valentines day looks a bit more livelier.. other than sunrises sunsets statistics  there really would not be much to say really and I know it's a personal weather preference but I do like something happening ,I really hope summer is hot hot and it doesn't match a non winter with a nothing - ness summer 

Im quoting myself ..because 13 days ago the gfs had or near as damn it the wind ..not maybe in two separate low centres but just as windy ..credit where credits due to a great free global forecasting model ..:-)

I was thinking more of the hurricane, but 1987 does often get forgotten about for deep snow!

I guess it depends how bad the hurricane was for some.

What an idiot I am . I haven't been able to post in here for a while because it seemed I didn't have access . Only to see I could have joined at anytime . Even though I was already part of the group before . Hey Ho , Im back .

Nasty looking storms this week , especially Friday  down here . 

[tinybill]

it  dont look good  for us on friday seen  we  might  get winds  of up to  90  mph 

[pinball wizard]

Hi Bill, I suspect the models will water this down a tad over the next 48 hours. I'd be incredibly surprised if we had gusts of 90mph, think 65 is probably more likely but we'll see. Not a day to be heading over the Orwell bridge if its open!
