Atlantic Storms Winter 2015/16

[matty40s]

Certainly  a significant rain event for the East Midlands, Nene, Soar, Wreake and Upper Avon all straight into flood and even small streams breaking banks and flooding large areas along the a14 (just passable east direction). The a5 is also closed by flooding at Welton near daventry.

System dying a lot faster than the met office were thinking. Maybe a colder less cloudy night than they think.

Yes looks quite bad for tomorrow, widespread Gales locally severe on coasts. 40-50mph inland perhaps 60+ in exposure but it's Monday that is looking a lot more concerning, pressure charts suggest a potentially very disruptive storm coming up from the south-west so I wouldn't be surprised if this gets named Katie which I believe was the next name on the list.

I see a yellow warning out now for Monday

It could get updated over the weekend, if this low really taps into that environment

Maybe an upgrade to Amber, and the storm given a name

What a Bank Holiday Monday, that is shaping up to be
