Too far away and I expect it to disappear pn the enxt run but keeping fingers crossed for action if we can't get cold.

.. just having a peep at the 12Z pressure ensembles for Aberdeenshire.. the OP not quite an outlier, but rather on the extreme side of things. There's certainly support for something a bit 'blowy' - how blowy is always up for debate.

As we all like to say.. more runs needed dash1.gif

I'm just hoping rainfall totals are not like last boxing day here in the Calder Valley?

As it is I'm not paying it much mind until it has repeated up to 3 days out and then I might get twitchy!

I still think the models are tending toward what they would expect to see and then building on that? Some change is in the pipe line I'm sure but will it be so extreme?

Stormy weather gradually disappearing in deep FI. Looking the dreary uneventful weather is likely to continue.

Oh no! Please send it somewhere else.

By the look of those charts nowhere south of Scotland with have anything more than a breezy day so not much to be concerned about at the moment

Downgrades for stormy weather and colder weather continue as they head towards the more reliable time frame.

I am becoming a little more hopeful that the high pressure will keep us safe over the Christmas period? I'd 'hopecasted' at the start of autumn that lowering solar would tend to favour blocking and that our now regular Atlantic Train would take a diversion!

That didn't turn out too well for southern Spain nor is it for Iceland/Svalbard that look to be copping for the storms that could have just rolled over us with their extreme rainfall cargo's?

By next winter our flood risks will be even lower as the bridge that acts like a dam across the Calder here in Mytholmroyd is relocated ensuring a swifter exit for any extreme flooding events. With downstream 'flood zones' to take up , and hold the water, the risk will not just pass on down stream.

Somehow late winter/spring has not yet caused issues in the post 07' period? Long may that continue too!!!

Looking at the charts those storms , whilst out in the Atlantic , are massive and with really low central pressures. Anyone know if we are likely to see any records broken? ( wave heights/wind speeds etc?)

Hoping so GW. I bet many families have not fully recovered from the dreadful Christmas period of 2015.

Some folk are still not in their homes yet! The Sirens the other Monday were awful and the folks who came out to check the river were like a funeral crowd. There are plenty on here who only know flooding from the images ..... it does not convey the reality of living through it and then the aftermath. Even walking the dogs was bad for a couple of months due to the contaminated slush covering everything ( petrol station tanks flooded, sewage farm flooded etc) and the fear in folk each time we saw heavy rains.

How folk can live in tornado alley escapes me!!!

Agree, GW. It was horrific in the Aire Valley last Christmas...let's hope this year is much much better :)

Looks like anything stormy will be confined to the north west although breezy elsewhere. AS ever as it creeps to reliable time frame downgrades take place as they have done for the cool snap as well.

Not sure about that ECM has very strong winds across the UK

ECM1-192.GIF?17-0

60 to 70mph quite widely and over 100mph for Ireland

There's good support for a deep area of low pressure to cross Scotland, strong winds on the Southern flank would mean Northern England getting the strongest of the winds.
