Incredible performance from the ECM. Expectations should be managed though. As someone said, it would surprise me if the ECM were the first model to pick up on the overwhelming cold retention. Don’t get me wrong I’m excited as much as the next person but more verification is required. I rarely post but the model watching and twist and turns of late has been truly fascinating.

Just heard my first rumble (and I've already had lunch).
-
Yep, westerly skies here in Chelmsford are slowly turning a weird shade of grey/yellow....apocalyptic not quite, but something interesting on its way....
-
I just think of this everytime I hear the name:
I have nothing else constructive to add
Love it! Takes me back a few years!
-
Give it another couple of hours to reach maximum gust levels. Biggest gusts/winds really reserved for the coastal areas though.blowing a bit but nothing special here in Essex atm when is it meant to get going ?
-
Yes, completely agree with what others say about the stronger winds being further north than what is being suggested by the current MO warnings. I've attached a map tweeted by Essex Weather which demonstrates this and in more simplistic terms too!

Had sideways hail here around 30mins ago. Looks like another band of rain and whatever else passing through now!

Strong gusts here in Chelmsford. No idea how much, but the sound against the house is really loud.

About time the Met Office gave us an amber for wind in the SE. I was amazed they didn't put it to amber yesterday. Bit belated if you ask me, although I appreciate they're having their work cut out down in Exeter at the moment.
-
What I can't get my head over is over the past 72 hours all we have seen in regards to the South east anyway is upgrade after upgrade after upgrade in terms of wind speed ETC... Never known anything like it usually we get to about 48-24 hours out and see downgrades..
And yet this event seems to be not as widely publicised as Jude was (if you consider the general SE media bias).

Wow
That's an epic chart!
-
I don't know why the wind warning is yellow only and not amber. Based on what peeps are saying and general agreement on models, surely it should be an amber wind warning for the South?

Bets on southern and northern wind warnings to go Amber in the morning...
Odds on favourite!

Expecting ambers from the Met Office later today for the Mon/Tue storm. It will be interesting to see which parts of the UK they think are in the firing line...

Supposed to be doing a winter bbq later on today. Think I might have to do it in the garage!
-
I have a long drive to do on Monday. Timing is up to me. Would I be right in thinking that earlier would be better than later?
Yes, the earlier you start your drive on Monday the better I would say.
-
Hmm, does this mean no upgrade to red then? I was quite looking forward to seeing that on the MO as it's not often you get to see it. Still can't rule out some nowcasting and an upgrade to red later as it remains clear that it's difficult to get a precise handle on things. As it currently stands, the Southernmost parts of the UK are in for a jude awakening.... (get it?!).

First rumble of thunder has arrived! Very long lasting too
-
Nervously awaiting the arrival of the storm here. The so-called calm beforehand right now and still dry but hoping in around an hour or so the party will begin!
-
Is that it then? Absolutely zilch. Not even a dusting here in Chelmsford. I thought we had to 'be prepared'. I give up chasing this white stuff now. Despite a plan B for Sunday, my glass is officially half empty.
-
Yep all very dissapointing here in Chelmsford. Had some sorry excuse for snow flakes about an hour ago but then fizzled out and now nothing.
-
Fine flakes of snow has now arrived in Chelmsford.
Just been outside to put the rubbish out and the dustbin lid was frozen shut so I think it's fair to say that it's pretty cold out there!
-
Nothing over this way, but then not expecting any just yet. Think Essex have another couple of hours to go.
-
Yep. Snow possible pretty much everyday for the next 3 days!
Awesome - thanks!!!

Not much going on in Chelmsford here? Radar looks naff until much later in the morning due to that gap?
