Possible severe gales on Monday 28th.

[OhYouWickedWickedWitch]

I'm keeping a pretty close eye on developments for Monday. some of the models (in particular gfs) are showing a deep low developing over England, with the majority of the gfs runs taking the worst of the wind over the south.

Massive if. But if the weather were to pan out as those models are suggesting it would be a damaging storm, especially given the trees still being in leaf. I'd keep an eye on the met office early warnings page and if they start warning about it then it would be a good weekend to tidy the garden before you lose your stuff

I'll update as things become clearer.

grr. gfs not updated yet.

And D0G is in the same town as me. I found this out after I had insulted her on one of her threads and we'd had a massive spat. I'd never been so obnoxious on MN before, and I had to go and do it to the one person within 10 miles of me.

We made up afterwards. Had no option really!

Sorry OYWWW. Hijack.

OYWWW im feeling a little more nervous than i was before. They are telling us gusts of 60mph here and that we're being skimmed.

Wind is up here - NE Wilts.

LayMizzRarb I don't think anyone here actually wants to see death, doom and destruction, but we are sort of excited by events that remind us that we - the all-powerful Homo sapiens sapiens - do not have complete control of our planet. And extreme weather undoubtedly falls into this category.

I'm almost certainly going to have to drive through it on Monday morning, I'm really, really not looking forward to it.

florence - its not a hurricane, there are really strict criteria for the definition of a hurricane. However, it does look like there will be hurricane strength gusts embedded in the storm.

I think that it may be overconcern for many people away from coasts.

Now I'm worried - I'm on the coast!

wow legohouse I love porthleven, if I ever move it's high on my list - is it as good to live there as to visit?

My Channel Island Friends Watch this

Wait till it gets to 11pm tomorrow.

See that big red bit

We're under it

wow really windy and heavy rain here in Bournemouth think this weather is getting us ready for the big one no calm here

wonders if its too late to go somewhere else....anywhere else

Waves to the kernow krew

I'm practically underneath the Tamar bridge, and a very recent import to the area.

Anyone fancy a Christmas Cornish meet up? If we're still here after tomorrow night!

Hijack over

Thank you OYWWW ! I will try and stay calm for now then :)

Ooooh Starfish that reminds me

I have wine

Im going to go start drinking it now

Thanks Wicked; so not hurricane thank goodness.

Waving to all the Channel Islanders and hoping you stay safe. My mum and dad are on Guernsey (and are fairly ancient) so I have a personal stake in this!

You are on starfish. See you on the other side.

I have lovely fizzy pink wine.

All is good again

Haha. Might recommend that to my nervous mum, JerseySpud!

Problem here is (not sure if Guernsey is the same) but anything like this and everything stops, we get power cuts, roads impassable....

Hmmm probably should move my bin tomorrow as well

Tell her wine. Wine makes everything better!

until the morning when i realise that it hasnt happened yet!

I worry about my sil that lives in a valley. lots of trees!

Oh no that big red maroon bit goes straight over channel isles and then over Southampton/ Portsmouth. It's horrific feeling now and this is just the warm up
