  1. Still very blustery here in north Midlands, almost 24 hours of strong and blustery winds.
  2. @Lisa Martin Also hoping for a quieter night, hate the damage wind can cause! Fingers crossed.
  3. @Lisa Martin Yes definitely a lot livelier here in Mansfield than Sunday night, and a few hours yet until the peak gusts forecasted by most models.
  4. Let's hope it stays that way from my point of view just down the road in Mansfield. Gusting 50mph plus here for last 2 hours, around 5mph higher than forecast for this time of the storm. Wonder why Mansfield seems to be one of 'worst' areas away from coasts and hills etc
  5. GFS just out has my area, Mansfield, North Midlands, down for 75mph gusts! To me that is ridiculous for our area. Hope GFS is overdoing it.
  6. Looking at the recent GFS, it seems to be that east is now worse. Quite concerned as my area, Mansfield in North Midlands / South Yorkshire, now has 75mph gusts! Certainly we havn't had gusts that strong since the 80s I think.
  7. Is there still a more than 1% chance of this with all the models seeming to be in so much broad agreement?
  8. That has puzzled me too... is that down to human input after looking at the data perhaps?
  9. Is it also one of best for forecasting tracks of such storms?
  10. To show how everything changes, forecast for my area (North Notts) now says the worst wind gusts for me will be Wednesday night as part of Storm Dudley - forecast gusts upgraded to 60mph by XC Weather (GFS) for example Wednesday night, rather than on Friday, with that model now reducing max gust for me from 75mph on previous run to 48mph . As always with the weather I suppose we just have to wait and see.
  11. Hope this is the right place to ask this question: Why are the predicted wind gusts on the likes of Met Office and BBC websites something like 20/30mph less than XC Weather (GFS I know) for my area, North Notts (as an example) and a lot less than the charts being posted on here. In fact, MO and BBC at the moment are predicting higher wind gusts for Wednesday night for me and the predicted speeds for Friday have slightly reduced on those 2 sites, despite from reading on here the main models suggesting the opposite. I suppose my question is, how are the predicted wind speeds/gusts on websites like MO/BBC arrived at. Thanks for any pointers.
  12. To my very untrained eye GFS/UKMO/ECM all now seem pretty much same in terms of areas to be worst hit. My area (North Nottinghamshire) pretty scary 40mph sustained winds Friday lunchtime with gusts approaching 80mph. Is there much of a chance ICON could be correct re the track, so taking the worst of the wind/storm much further south?
  13. Southerly enough to take it away from UK? Or is that just wishful thinking on my part?
