stormy weather forecast for Weds 14th/thurs 15th

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

I think that this weeks weather now needs its own thread. Can I first apologise for not creating a separate thread for the Scottish twin storms. Although I was posting forecasts on a general weather thread, real life has conspired to give me less weather watching time than usual.

So anyway, as ever with these systems the details are not yet tied down. Models are coming up with a range of depths of the low pressure of between 945hpa (and filling as it comes on shore) - 968hpa. It looks certain that a deep low pressure will cross the UK weds/thurs and that at the very least some areas will see gales. Worst case scenario is storm force winds.

At the moment the areas I personally think most at risk is Wales, the Midlands and perhaps southern England too.

I'll do my best to update when I can.

met office warnings

Bigger I'm in yorkshire.

Wimpy I think you must be further inland than me. No snow yet, although it is finally cold enough for it to be proper snow and lie. Wind's getting up too......Nice to see the only weather event we don't have a warning for is fog

Is it worth waxing my skiis Kitten?

Peri Im in the Lothians, the scummiest one

Possibly Pesto.....

I really seriously need it to not snow in Devon on the weekend. :(

West then Wimpy ? At least you have snow

No snow in W fife and all this mornings fall has melted! I'm due in Edinburgh for a meeting tomorrow morning so I could do without any tomorrow. Fingers crossed (in vain I think, but a girl can try!!)

Currently at 3C and the met office has a forecast for 4C at 7pm, so for me the temps are starting to look good for a bit of dawn snow.

Ooh!! Thank you for getting my hopes up Kitten

Does anyone else find all the overlapping warning things on the map totally unclear?! It's impossible to see at a glance which applies where.

Temp seems to be going up here in my part of Surrey. It was 4c at 4 and now it's 6.8

OYBBK so far today; Snow that meant I had to turn back for home, insane hail fall that covered the road later, on the way back from throwing a few after school snowballs (I mean covered it completely in about 30 seconds and made driving down the very steep hill I was on surprisingly eventful) and thunder and lightening just now. my tick list is almost full, just need the windy bit and we are ahead! Looking at the weather radar on netweather.tv there are patches of lilac going to purple not far from here. I know it's important people are safe BUT it's also a tiny bit exciting. DS1, DS3 and I would no doubt be storm chasers if we lived somwhere more eventful, we've been out twice now (once in the dark) just to watch the horizons and see what's happening .

schilke if you touch the weather icons (swervey car, snowflake etc) it does a black border round the area pertaining to that icon.

Yep Somebody it's pish. Click on the icon and it shows the black boarder for the warning area and the time the warning is in force for. I think they could still improve it though.

I also miss the old UK latest observations page.

My temp has gone back up to 4c.

What a fab day Lost! I had a little hail and a whole load of rain and gusty wind on my bike ride. Then when I got home the sun came out and with it a rainbow. I think the weather was thumbing its nose at me.

oo, temp down again. 3.4C What a tease!

If you scroll down past the warnings it gives you some idea what warning is for where etc.

SNOW the tiniest dusting, but it's not melting!!!!!

DM told me they had had a dusting in Renfrewshire this morning - close to the river so it usually has to be bad to lie there. She just called me to say it had started again this evening, large wet snowflakes.

Nothing here though.

Any specific thoughts for Bristol please kitten?

Argyll here - island communities without supplies for over a week now. Pub's running out of beer...

Manky we've had light snow on and off for about half hour ( north MCR)

Dh is meant to be driving over woodhead pass tomorrow afternoon and back late evening, I'm really concerned!

Most disappointing here. Temperature's 1.8C and there's been nuffink so far of a snowy nature. There's a great splodge of snow on the radar, that looks like it's heading in Leicester's direction from Wales way but I think it's all turning to sleet/rain by the time it gets to us
