NHC - a definite east shift in the latest update not minuscule either.

Guess we'll have to see if Met O update their warnings for W areas of mainland UK...

I know that the storm is downgrading (now cat 1), but isn't it supposed to deepen as it becomes extratropical? 

It will deepen for a short period and the wind field will become much larger.

Flocks of sparrows, tits and even a blackbird coming to check out the fuss, all arrived at my bird feeder which has been practically inactive for the past few weeks! Birds must be able to sense a storm long before we'd ever see it for our own eyes.

Another 50 mile shift east and that starts to bring most of uk and ireland into 70mph gust range as opposed to ireland/ni and western uk.

Much of England could go 'yellow' a very large wind field as soon to be ex hurricane Ophelia barrels northeast...30-50 mph gusts may not seem like much but with trees in foliage...

Nowcasting from this point forward. I guess there's more unknowns on this occasion due to the unusual nature of this storm.

Tbh... headline wind strength, atm, is not actually that unusual for round here (maybe once in a three or four years event?) but the on-shore wind combined with the forecast huge swell (SWerly direction) and hightide is a worry.

A further shift Ewards would exacerbate any issues.

Literally the calm before the storm here: a balmy 15/16c and hardly a breath of wind...

Earlier runs showed Ophelia beginning its turn more Northerly by this time. It still appears to be barreling along without any noticeable deviation as yet.

Looking at the latest radar it seems some more convection is happening at the moment.

Agreed, The last time I saw the tide reach the back of Freshwater West beach was Dec15. The winds were about the same as forecast tomorrow but nowhere near as much surge. I am interested to see how much surge Ex-Ophelia has been pushing in front of her. No one is talking about it ?

As a bit of an aside, some of us skydived earlier today from 10K down through this streak of cloud coming up from biscay and stretching over the UK. It was one of the few jumps Ive ever done where I could feel air turbulence in freefall. Very strange.

Yes, it often is, makes it 'fun' parts of the South Wales/West coastline should be on high alert IMO. The wind isn't going to be the focal issue water will also also be squeezed through the Bristol Channel regardless of the not optimum wind direction definite major flood concerns I foresee from ex hurricane Ophelia, I hope it's not going to be as bad as I think it will be.

Ophelia's showing up with a little electrical activity on lightning maps:

The Bristol channel has a huge tidal range and often does quite well when it comes to storm surges. It's a neap tide too so unless the storm surge is massive, I can't see it being too much of an issue

She's not dead yet!

Also... a lot.

NickL posted some info earlier.

Wave heights around the pembrokeshire coast will be in the region of 10/15 to 28 ft, depending on where you are.

... though that was before the track adjustment.
