Temperatures have risen from 2 deg up to Almost 6 here just outside Basingstoke in last half hour. Not looking good

And just like that Steve Murr has dashed all hope for our region *at the moment* in the MOD thread. I'm off to cry now.
As if he knows... he has been promising a pattern change to cold since early November!! if he says it won't snow suggest you get your shovel out

Good site for real time tide readings

I think that because of the recent storm just gone this coming depression for tomorrow night doesn't seem that much.
But I destinctly remember a time last November when coastal 70mph gusts were forecast and 50mph inland, and there was a lot of talking about it then as we hadn't had a recent 70-80mph inland gusts producing storm. Don't forget that the storm on Monday was probably a once in 6 year event for us here down the south.
So in all honesty, I think quite a few will be suprised at how strong the winds will be tomorrow evening.
I agree going to be a very windy day. If the pressure of the low was to drop further than predicted could turn out messy. Was out running today and lots of loose branches still hanging in trees and whole trees leaning, these could easierly be finished off by 50mph gust. These sort of gusts could also be around for up to 6 hours.
-
If that's the case, I would say a shade deeper than what models predicted. I caveat very heavily that I do not know how this chart you posted models the isobars.
See a previous post I made, but at 00:00 most models went for about 985 around Bristol
at the rates of drop we have seen could be 984 by midnight

2.2mb drop here last hour, wind now increasing, temperature shot up a degree in last few mins

bugger all wind N Hants at mo
-
Just been out, compared with early really calm, evening has an odd feel about it...
Oil tank gauge just shot to maximum as pressure started to drop fast in last hour.
-
It does seen extreme to have mass cancellations. People need to get to work etc. The country can't just stop due to some wind.
yes why cancel this early, why not take a view first thing
-
The track of this low pressure is key to everything.
At the moment the worst is going to be out in the channel.
If the whole thing shifts North the South will be in big trouble, I expect this is why met office are keeping their warnings out.
-
I always use this site for my windsurfing in the solent:-
Great for live data.
Here in mid north hants gusting 20-25mph on my weather station, tho not best location for accurate readings.
Looking forward to tonight tho thing this storm is being over ramped
-
Gusts at 4pm (now-ish)
Gusts later;
Quite a marked difference don't you think? It may not be as severe as first thought, but they'll be plenty of disruption nonetheless. Of course, there's still time for more upgrades or downgrades.
12z has downgraded it again, everything further south again, and trend continues

The amber area coast line is approaching sping tide this weekend with high tides of around 4.5meters midday sunday. This coupled with the wind is likely to bring coastal flooding.
