If the GFS is correct (Big if I know) then we might be soon seeing red on these charts.

This looks to make Helena a mere kitten. Since we had warning for nothing for Helena I guess the warnings should be hyper red for this one and everyone advised to dig a huge hole to survive. Troops should enforcing a curfew starting tonight and lasting to Friday. :)

Main action to the north us but still breezy.

The wind seems to be getting up now! Or is this Helene?

It's probably something to do with Manghut lol

This years naming has already gone mammatus up. I'm lost with it all to be honest.

You have to thank Fujiwhara for our fun really?

Are we seeing a decaying 'feeder band' from Helene suddenly dowsing a thin band of the UK???

Slow moving and high rain rates, sorry if that parks over you for any length of time! we did that in july 2012!!!

Chunks of Helene airmass have been stripped into the other lows ( tomorrow and Sunday's ??) and so we have temp contrasts we normally do not see ( but ought to get used to?) and so vigorous storms.

Shame the trees are still in leaf really?

Thinking of taking the day off Uni tomorrow because of the forecast, really don’t fancy being stranded in Glasgow Central station with 80mph gusts outside.
