Atlantic Storms February 2014

[TwisterGirl81]

Yes Surrey had one a few years back for snow 

 

*COUGH*

 

Lol LukeyG stop it!

 

I guess 60 - 70mph gust in the south west but poor northwestern wales, could see gusts around 90mph!  I can't even begin to imagine the damage it would have caused if it had hit the south head on

[wimblettben]

With the fact that this storm is going to be deepening the most as it reaches us, tells me that the models won't really have a realistic showing of the track or strength until very near the event.

 

There is a possibility that this storm could completely change direction in the last minute or suddenly deepen out of no where at the moment.

[Snow free zone]

North Wales coast and Lancs/S Cumbria coast looks set to take a hammering on that last chart above.

 

Will be bad enough inland, but those charts posted above making it look a bit troublesome for coastal districts.

It's going to be a very windy for many tomorrow and not just inside the high warning area. Strongest winds start off over S Ireland & the SW before transferring NE'wards affecting Wales and then N England tomorrow evening. Looking like the most powerful storm so far this winter. 

 

Severe S & SW'ly gales on the N/E flank as the low makes inroads before the wind turns more westerly and become even stronger with a damaging wind field.

Good day all

 

Current met forecast for me has it gusting to 83mph at its worst tomorrow. This is the worst forecast for wind i have seen in the last 4 yrs (that i can remember). This is the most excited (well scared) about a storm i've been in ages. Whilst i do like a a good gale, i do still want to have a home !.

 

I predict a national shortage of ridge tiles approaching.

O dear this is not good and Saturday looks a repeat but slightly further south.

[TwisterGirl81]

Jesus! Fridays/saturdays storm has been upgraded too compared to the 06z this morning!  I read on Metcheck that it wasn't expected to be serious anymore due to a split jet streem or something?!

 

I'd post pictures to compare from the GFS but don't know how!

 

This could be even more serious than tomorrows storm for the south!

GFS 12z just out and has made the low slightly deeper and upgraded the wind speeds a touch this storm is look really serious now,

Gusts of 60 to 70mph across England and Wales while the South of Ireland could see 90mph or slightly more,

3pm is when the high winds will move inland across Ireland, Wales and England. Mean speeds inland ranges from 35 to 45mph,

 

ukwind2.png

 

While the gusts look very severe with 90mph looking likely for the West of Wales and elsewhere across Ireland and England 60 to 75mph,

 

gust2.png

 

6pm The strong winds start to head North into Northern England. Mean speeds for inland area's across Northern England 30 to 45mph,

 

ukwind3.png

 

60 to 70mph gusts across Northern England and parts of Wales. Some places could see over 80mph,

All I can say is do not under estimate this storm of all the storms I have watched closely this winter I haven't seen charts looking this bad for Ireland, England and Wales and they have had some really high winds already and it makes you wonder what this one will bring that is forecast to be stronger.

 

 

 

 

 

Looking that where I live could see 84/5mph winds later.

 

  Holds white flag in surrender

[ChezWeather]

Possible snow tonight! and some 60mph gusts tomorrow evening, first exiting thing since the beginning of December, Stay safe all 

[NO LONGER POSTING]

I have personally been watching Friday from the weekend and watching each model run upgrade it and tighten the gradient each time... It also has moved it further North bringing the very strong winds over southern UK not Northern france

[SparkleS]

Its a bullseye !

Yeah right on top of us!

[vladthemert]

track seems consistent know this likely path barring late changes would expect met to update its warnings

[Snow free zone]

Yeah right on top of us!

We are in the "eye " sparkle, unlike tomorrow, which for us is starting to look a bit worrying.

[Matty M]

Latest Hirlam is quite vicious for southwestern Ireland with some hurricane force winds touching the southwest coast.

The Low for Friday | Saturday has not ''come from nowhere'' 

 

It's been showing on the charts for almost 5 days, it's just that it's moved North. 

 

The modern generation are really blinkered, if it doesn't fit onto your mobile phone screen you just don't bother to look do you !!

• Peripheral vision .... is a wonderful thing kids, try it sometime !!

[Liam J]

Amber warnings have just been updated (@16:21) to increase the impact, one step down from red. 

 

 

 

The warning has been updated to adjust the impact matrix to cater for medium likelihood of high impacts for west and north Wales on Wednesday afternoon and early evening.
