Possible severe storm Monday 28th October 2013 Part 3

[iand61]

Don't think we were ever due to get the worst of the storm, it's still looking like it might be an unplesant trip to work in the morning with some heavy rain around.

Our turn comes next weekend although that will probably change nearer the timeAs others have already said though, this was never really a Northern event with the rain more of a concern up here than wind but for those of you in the firing line, stay safe.

Personally I find it hard to believe the GFS will be wrong at 9 hours post initiation. A strong gale in the FAR SE of the UK and along S coastal areas but certainly nothing spectacular over CS England and S Midlands as some warnings are making out......all in my opinion of course

 

GFS18Z shows a more open wave at 3am Monday as it crosses England.Not phased with the jet streak at that point.

 

As the forecasting team have already suggested it looks like some hours later before it hits the cold exit of the jet and deepens somewhat-out in the North Sea.

Gusts of 76 mph of the coast of Plymouth now, with 24mph in Bristol.

[Nick L]

Really is eerily calm out there...

[jesusfernandez]

Why can I see rain in the radar and no drops are falling? :O GHOST rain!! 

[bobbydog]

now the wind's picking up......!!!

where did you get that info from?

Sounding very bad outside here too Kate. It seems there are a lot of NIMBY's on here tonight that can't believe in something if it isn't in their back yard. or to be charitable, i guess it is just severe disappointment this isn't going further north?

Sounding as calm out, as a summer's evening here.

[coldfingers]

It is literally still outside. Wind is 0.1mph and gusts are 0.5mph. Very strange indeed.

I am amazed it is quiet in Wiltshire. Not sure what is happening but things are winding up fast here on the coast of West Sussex. Maybe because I am so close to the coast? less that half an hour ago was gusting up to 51knot, or almost 59 mph. Perhaps just a severe squall?

Yep, either this kicks up a notch or I can say " Another year another failure "

 

if not, I was wrong and I can enjoy the storm!

[Average Joe]

As the Evening goes on , it now seems the damaging winds will be reserved for the SE, Most of the SW looks to be spared as the strongest winds should track the South Coast and the Channel . Still could change though ...

Well, it's really blowing up down in Cadgwith Cove in Cornwall, so perhaps not.

[Ben Sainsbury]

where did you get that info from?

On the netweather extra radar, there is an option with says NMM Overlays and then click wind gusts. Thinking it through now it might be forecast, not an observation.

 

Still learning...

Its not a very impressive satellite picture at the moment isit

zooming out , ignore the colours, the interesting bit is the curl at the back edge of the 'blue', called a comma cloud

that shape signals deepening and things getting going - cyclogenesis

and we're waiting for explosive cyclogenesis

Where is your source? Can we have a link? Cheers.

I guess it's because you are closer to the coast. I think we will all have our fair share of wind before the night's out

[Dibdabbers]

No wind or rain here...absolute calm. Not what I was expecting at all.

This storm still has potential to really develop as it moves over the UK, it seems that it's most violent stage maybe over the North Sea tomorrow

but it could still flick its sting of a tail at eastern England, (Norfolk particularly) as it clears tomorrow morning, so even as people wake up in East Anglia it may not be over

Forgive me, but this storm is not moving over the entire UK, and some perspective is needed. Far more potent systems than this one regularly pound Scotland and it's islands - indeed even the heavily populated central belt of Scotland - yet media coverage has never been so "dramatic" as now.

 

I've read the BBC news website and other news outlets and am truly gobsmacked at the writing.

Could you link where you're getting this data from? The only wind observation site I have at the moment is the xcweather one and it takes half an hour to update. 

 

Edit: Never mind, RCT got there first.

Don't worry Victor.   Just watch out for tomorrow morning, I reckon you WILL get some fun then.

raining heavily here but strangely no wind at all

As posted to another member, I think it is a forecasted wind gust overlay on netweather extra radar.

Been throwing it down in Guildford for a while now, a horrible night out there.

Well having just moved from Grampian to SE SCotland and being the STV presenter this week, I'm not really the person you need to point that out to. I am however bothered about tonight's forecast

[PurpleButterfly]

Its raining here and quite calm!

[TonyH]

They seem to think Cardiff will be hit by the 'storm' tonight on BBC.. er no it will be further south
