Residents in N Wales and Merseyside should take this warning seriously.If current imagery and data is correct, sting-jet conditions could potentially deliver gusts in excess of 100mph anywhere in this region this afternoon.

Travel should be avoided and arrangements for early closures, etc may be warranted.

I'm still expecting the red warnings to be brought further inland more towards the Cheshire Plain and N/Pennines within the next couple of hours, MetO have the strongest winds too far west for what the majority of models are going for.

Sleeting mate, big flakes mixed with the rain

Nah I think it's spot on, coastal locations almost certainly in danger, further inland although they'll be very strong, I think amber is enough.

At the minute Wirral is under amber but if the red should be more east than we will be right in the firing line - won't we?

seriously contemplating an early dart home.I work in liverpool usually but am in Blackburn today,Its only a small hop down the m65,m6,m58,m57,but theres a lot of exposure there and really dont fancy that at 5pm! Do you think this justifies me leaving work early to get back to liverpool,genuine question?

Most definitely and shame on your employers if they don't let you.

Yes Wirral will stay under the amber warning, due to shelter from the Welsh Hills.. however on the coast, ie Moreton/Meols/Thurstaton/West Kirby, you could still see gusts up to 60-65mph. Elsewhere in Wirral, inland a little, more like 45-55mph gusts?

Expecting the worst of the winds early evening period here - Trans pennines routes could be atrocious with snow in the mix.  Probably will stay in amber inland but take care for those in the 'red' zone!

I personally dont think so.. Wirral is protected by Wales to the SW so most of the very strong winds will be avoided.

 

However northwestern Merseyside; Crosby and Southport will bear some brunt!

I don't think the hills will offer much protection this time, south westerly is usually a harsh direction for us (Cheshire) at least. This event looks bad.
