Potentially quite stormy on Wednesday

Models are struggling to get a handle on things, but wednesday looks at the very least wet and blowy and potentially rather more than that, especially in the NW.

A deep low looks set to skirt us to the west and some models have been developing a tight little secondary low over us as it passes by. No met office warnings out yet, but one to watch.

Yuck ~ autumnal weather and not very festive.

Metoffice warnings for Wednesday and Thursday.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 26/11/2018 16:16

Thanks for posting the link Gloria. It looks like quite nasty for Ireland, northern Ireland and the western side of Scotland in terms of wind, elsewhere, blowy but not awful, then a squeeze in the NE side of scotland.

It all seems a bit delayed, compared to a couple of days ago and the worst may well be on Thursday now.

It doesn't look that great from tomorrow onwards really, what with the rain coming in from the SW/west to start with. Friday looks better but it's a bit of a wet/wild middle of the week.

Some thoughts from Netweather and TheWeatherOutlook.

AnyFucker · 26/11/2018 19:17

Hope it's blown over by Sunday...off on me hols.

Last Feb the feckin' snow nearly kiboshed us.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 26/11/2018 20:21

True, tomorrow looks soggy for most at some point.

Hurrah! Here you are, it was just something on the local news Facebook page that said they'd named it so not a reliable source! Grin

There's a low potential for blizzards over the Brecon Beacons tomorrow.

Rain has just arrived here (Leicester) and it's a chilly 5.4C

GloriaSmud · 27/11/2018 13:05

Band of rain showing up well here.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 27/11/2018 14:09

It's officially revolting here in central southern england now!

I misread that as ‘politically quite stormy on Wednesday ‘, I was thinking that’s not news. 😂

We had dreadful weather here in Dublin this morning and there’s a yellow warning for tomorrow

Wouldn’t you know it? It’s the day for putting out the recycling!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 27/11/2018 15:00

There's a potential squall line developing currently along the back edge of the rain, crossing the West Country. If it gets very wild can people let me know please. - it looks quite interesting on radar.

I'm on the Lancs/Yorkshire border. It is very windy/gusty up here.
Rain but nothing out of the ordinary.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 27/11/2018 15:29

thanks for the report twoheaped :)

Officially revolting here too (I'm liking that as a way to describe things!) Afternoon school run was 'interesting' i.e. cold and very wet and it was also almost dark at 3.40pm as we got home.

BentNeckLady · 27/11/2018 16:31

Been horrible in the West Midlands today. Foggy this morning and it’s beeb bucketing down all afternoon. Horrible!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 27/11/2018 21:44

It looks like there will be wide spread gusts of 50-60mph tomorrow in the west, but also along the SE coast for a time. Lots of rain.
Continuing wet and wild on Thursday. I'd expect some low level surface flooding and perhaps some travel disruption (mostly cos the rail network seems totally pants recently)

No real change to the forecast this morning. It's noticeably mild outside today.

OP posts:
GloriaSmud · 28/11/2018 10:43

Yes, certainly mild now ~ temperature's risen to 12C here (Leicester) but it's drizzly and dull.

Updated weather warnings ~ most of England/eastern coasts of Scotland covered by a wind warning from early tomorrow.

Perihelion · 28/11/2018 14:33

Suddenly got windy in Edinburgh. And looking at the rainfall rafar, not so much a squall line as a squall lump incoming.
DD must have seen a weather forecast as she appears to have gone to school in boots, rather than the mesh trainers, I've been saying might not keep her feet dry...

GloriaSmud · 28/11/2018 15:50

We've just had a bit of a squall go through here. Gusty wind, almost horizontal rain and soaked clothes again.
I didn't think today's school run could be any more unpleasant than yesterdays. I was wrong!

been pretty much raining for last 48hrs and tomorrow looks grim if not worse with winds

nannynick · 28/11/2018 20:27

River levels are increasing in some areas. Looking at the Ballater camera and chart it is very noticeable how much the river level has gone up in the past 5 hours.

A useful site for seeing river level data across the UK is GaugeMap: www.gaugemap.co.uk
