Keeping a small eye on Sunday/Mondays weather

It probably won't come off but I'm keeping a bit of an eye on Sunday and Monday.

Models show remnants of hurricane Bertha coming close to our shores and develop them in different ways. It's hard (for me) to de tangle which bit are Bertha but the results are, either nothing to worry about at at all (most likely scenario) or some potentially wild and wooly weather as two of the models develop some pretty tight gradient lows for this time of year.

GFS takes it across northern Scotland bringing windy weather to the north, ECMWF brings it across southern and central England bringing windy weather to the south. UKMO just produces a slack low which could bring in plenty of rain.

Will update with developments.

Very windy here in north wales. Been raining most of the night

goodasitgets · 10/08/2014 18:31

Nipped out in between the rain to walk the dog - yeah right Grin
I look like a drowned rat, wind has really picked up as well. NW

Is anyone from Bilton (near Hull)? TORRO have received reports of a potential tornado.

S.Herts
We had no more rain and the wind is just very breezy here. I managed a dog walk at 5 in the sun and was pleasantly fresh and dry.
The sky keeps looking ominous but then clears.
Looking suspect atmHmm

OYBBK I have seen lots of pictures of the potential tornado on my FB newsfeed.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 10/08/2014 19:36

Advice - are there any pictures of a funnel, or is it all damage photos? Are there any coming from outside of Bilton?

Adviceonseizures · 10/08/2014 19:52

It's just damage photos and videos I have seen.

SE Wales. The wind is still very gusty, the sky has just turned black and we're having heavy, squally showers.

Does this count as a mini tornado OYBBK?

Good job the thread didn't implode!

Ah some proper Scottish summer weather Grin although it almost feels autumnal.....13C and raining. Wind just starting to pick up too. Am feeling a wee bit sorry for people who were at the Edinburgh Tattoo at the castle tonight.( Although I have memories of my granny taking me as a child and wearing a bin bag to try and stay dry.)

A fair chunk of Scotand has yellow warnings for wind and rain overnight and tomorrow with Amber for rain for Moray.

I did attempt to let the dog out. This was her face

Shetland had an average August's worth of rain yesterday, with Fair Isle having 128mm.....

goodasitgets · 10/08/2014 22:07

I stood at the back door planning to let her out on the lead and stand inside to stay dry myself Grin
Her face was "yeah, you're joking right?"

starsandunicorns · 10/08/2014 22:09

I had that today goodasitgets dafty dog has not been impressed she's done the quickest wees ever

OhYouBadBadKitten · 10/08/2014 22:11

Ouch peri, that is a lot of rain!!

goodasitgets · 10/08/2014 22:11

She won't even wee (worried as she isn't mine, I'm dog sitting)
She went at about 5pm but hasn't been since and won't now until tomorrow am

OhYouBadBadKitten · 10/08/2014 22:45

That is a very nice funnel cloud Iwish! :)

if it had touched the ground it would have been a tornado. We class them as weak tornadoes through to strong tornadoes. The term mini-tornado grates with severe storm aficionados as it is a tornado or it isnt.
