The storms continue to UK!!!

ty Luisport..much appreciated...

Map looks very dangerous, especially for sailors (waves forecast above 10 meters!) . 5*.

Thank you for your posts, I enjoy them trmendously.

snow melt and this coming rain

the flooding will be biblical.

i shouldn't laugh, but there again, my house isn't built on a flood plain, so i will allow myself a little titter

this is gonna be epic.

I just walked my dogs central Texas 82 degrees, the sun hurt my skin so bad had to come in, I fear for our summer , good post

the landslides and flooding from this may well kill people

It's ok, they worked this one out.

Oh, my gosh, so very nice.....................

I hope you all get buried under 30 feet of snow

According to the model GFS 48 hours pressure in centre down at least to 928!

it's slightly higher than the historical storm in 1993 according your link
"The all-time record for North Atlantic extratropical storms was the Braer Storm of January 1993 that reached a minimum pressure of 914 mb (26.99 in Hg) on January 10th"

@MJGrimsby - N and W of the UK at risk of gales/severe gales perhaps middle of next week.

The variability of the UK's weather will be in evidence from this wk to the next from cold/snow/local blizzards to gales/heavy rain & floods

Cue the cyclogenesis as the tropospheric 'Hoover' is engaged into next week [link to ows.public.sembach.af.mil] …

what the FUCK?????????

aw, we love you too, Mr I Used To Have A Rainforest!

Oh noes :'(

SYNOPSIS

Normalized GPH anomalies in addition to analogous height analyses confirm ongoing weak and disturbed polar vortex with at least two major vortices: the first one, which was anchored atop the Hudson Bay for the past few days gradually shifts east/northeast. Attendant impressive height gradients (e.g. 90-100 "500 hPa gpdm" difference from Greenland to the subtropical Atlantic) assist in rapidly increasing baroclinity and numerous intense vortices (at least one of those will be a tremendous warm-seclusion process with an explosive deepening rate of at least 60 hPa during my forecast period far south of Greenland). This increase in activity will have an influence on the far western part of Europe, where deep tropospheric warming spreads east.

The second vortex (less well defined) is still placed over far N/NE Europe, where the coldest air of Europe at all levels will be found. However at 500 hPa, low heights extend far south and cover most of Europe with surface high pressure in place over C-Europe.

What does this mean exactly for us in UK? What can we expect I don't live far from the sea!

18z NAE model continuing to signal some heavy snowfall for N Eng in particular during Fri evening - [link to expert-images.weatheronline.co.uk] …

basically, the hose is about to be turned on, along with a giant fan.

this next week is gonna be wild. constant, heavy rain, with only very short breaks in between fronts piling through, and strong gales, especially in N and W, add that to the melt, FLOODS baby.

this thing has been winding itself up out there for weeks waiting for it's chance, and here it fucking comes.

Thanks for the replies, don't look good then. With the week I've had bring it on I say!

It's a sea swell chart, measured in feet. However, none of the buoys seem to be going off. And I can't find any earthquakes in that area which would account for the high seas reported.

I'm in Glasgow! Think ill stay in this weekend! Unfortunately I'm banned at home works at my mums and on the bus wifi :-(

Not liking the potential track of this. Even if it goes further North (poor Scotland) a secondary LP will form and potentially cause storm surge along SW coastal/bristol channel and pembrokeshire wales. So our current blanket of snow, melts all at once with heavy rains.. Flooding.. Then we get clobbered with high winds and tropical downpours .. Flooding. Roll on spring. .

Five star pin and.

Don't forget blankets for the monkeys!

Nice work, Luis.
