Really hoped we wouldnt need another thread so soon.

Tomorrow we have one dangerous storm with winds potentially 90mph off welsh coasts, 80mph inland and hitting Ireland very hard too.

met office warnings for heavy rain (exactly where we dont need it but also hitting western scotland), snow, perhaps even down to lower ground at times over night even pretty far south and storm force winds. Also widespread gales across England.

Then friday night into Saturday we have another potentially damaging low. The models have really struggled with this one and it needs a careful eye keeping on it.

Because the winds look so bad tomorrow for some (enough in the amber areas for me to suggest that you consider whether your journey is essential), I'll be logging on around 7:15am to update. My biggest concern is western Wales in the afternoon. However the track may change as the storm develops so the amber warning area may shift. It is possible that the met office may issue some red warnings close to the morning.

Looking further on, although storms may track to their more usual position (north of scotland) as the month goes on, unfortunately the rain looks set to continue, with little in the way of respite.

I drove from home from work this afternoon, m6 & M5 West Midlands and the roads were absolutely treacherous. Lorries were being blown about, my little car was hard to keep in a straight line, stuff all over the carriageway.

Stay at home unless unless you absolutely have to go out is my advice!

Wind and rain has picked up in Leeds and it's very noisy. A few dustbins blew down the street earlier. Luckily I live in a row of back to back terraced houses so no garden fences or furniture to blow away! Feel very sorry for you lot in the red warning zone Sad

Not really a weather watcher, but watched a portaloo fly off down our road this afternoon and am now paying close attention! We are 6 miles inland of the west wales coast, about 16 miles south of Aberystwyth, and everything has gone eeriely quiet. Are we over the worst of it now? Schools kicked out at lunchtime today and the university campus was evacuated about 3pm. Poor old Aber has taken another pasting. Sad

sewingandcakes - if you want to know exactly what the wind is doing in Rossendale here is the live weather station at the sailing club. Gale/strong gale at the moment. For once probably not quite so bad as where I am near Preston.
