Weather warnings issued for Cornwall for Friday, Saturday and Monday

 

A weather warning has been issued for Cornwall for Monday, meaning three of the next four days are now expected to see extreme weather. The first warnings, issued by the Met Office, are for Friday evening and Saturday morning, when a band of rain, torriential at times, is expected to sweep across the region.

 

A further period of rain is expected to affect the county on Monday, with more heavy rain expected to fall onto the already saturated ground. It means localised flooding is likely, with disruption to travel during the busy pre-Christmas period.

 

A spokesman for the Met Office said: "Another intense area of low pressure is expected to track close to the UK during Monday.

"Associated rain and strong winds may again affect southwestern parts of England which remain saturated following earlier heavy rainfall. "The public should be aware of the increased risk of localised flooding and possible disruption to transport. This warning is likely to be updated over the coming days."

The Atlantic conveyor continues

 

[Nights King]

Like an ice rink this morning outside, temperature dipped just under freezing -0.7c

 

so that's the end of our cold snap folks all eyes to the Atlantic...   

[MP-R]

Only managed a minimum of 2.5C last night as winds were a little too much off the Bristol Channel so still a tad above average. All eyes on the interesting weather over the next few days in the lead up to Christmas - looking very autumnal indeed. I just hope the pattern doesn't reset with the jet moving north again after Christmas - not what is supposed to happen in December.

[ARTDEMOLE]

Well onto the next straw to clutch... My meto app has sleet symbol for Christmas eve..  maybe we could still get a surprise at some point over the next week in some of the colder interludes between the wind and rain?

[karlos1983]

Looking decidedly windy on Monday into the evening, seeing gust nearing 70mph, coinciding with High tide in Poole. Could get some spectacular seas, might have to venture out (safely).

Was certainly very icy this morning in my neck of the woods,didn't have time to check temps etc, weirdly though the further away from the coast I went, the less Ice  there was....

[Nights King]

There is still hope for Christmas...

The Jet is holidaying in North Africa for Christmas Day itself but with the turbulent picture I'm imagining it won't be staying there for long. Well done the GFS's various outputs for picking up this signal back on the 16th December if not before. Now eyes down to Boxing Day onwards, albeit at the realms of Fantasy Island at such a timeframe but before then we have to deal with the following.

 

• A very wet day for much of the Southern and Eastern UK on Saturday and pretty windy in parts too.
•  
• •Sunday starts relatively calm but descends into a dismal day more especially the North of the UK including Ireland, much of Scotland and parts of Northern England where gales are due alongside copious amounts of rain and some snow to higher levels.
•  
• •Monday is a lively day for much of the UK with potentially storm-force winds and rain spreading up from the SW with this region especially prone to potentially violent gusts of wind and not to be outdone will most parts of Southern England.
•  
• •Tuesday (Christmas Eve) witnesses another deep depression trundle across parts of the North with further potential for snow across higher parts of the UK with even the SW moors showing the slightest hint for some action, albeit showery by nature here. Hmmm, yes you guessed it, a very windy day likely again.
•  
• •Wednesday (Christmas Day) looks like a CALMER DAY altogether. Some snow (more especially at elevation), perhaps courtesy of streamers set ups across Scotland, doubtful elsewhere to be honest, but a lot could change yet!
•  
• •Thursday (Boxing Day) could bring a second successive day of relative calm according to the GFS 12z but not long before another depression starts to rear its ugly head towards the SW approaches.

 

 

Over to the other afternoon and evening suites to see what they bring us over the festive period.

Looks like it tried to snow here last night as there was a slight dusting.... More important though, Met Office have heavy snow forecast from 9pm on Christmas Eve!! If there is a Santa, that's all I want this year!!

Squally conditions at Seaton just now on my dog walk. Heavy shower and very gusty, then subsided to nothing and calm. Interesting night ahead I think.

I've just returned from the pub, soaking wet, but I don't mind.

Happy Winter solstice! :lol:

Can't see it happening I'm afraid - I'm more worried about the wind, it's not looking good
