Carefully not putting the storm name in the thread title yet! If it didn't get named, it would make things confusing down the line. However, it looks very likely that Storm Henk will arrive on Saturday. An early heads up as it will probably be another high volume travel day.
At the moment, it looks like it rapidly deepens just to the west of Ireland, bringing some very nasty gales over Ireland and Irish sea neighbouring areas, before these gales transfer eastwards. Looking at the shape of the storm I think there's potential for some short lived severe winds over a small area
Blizzards possible over higher ground in Scotland, heavy rain in places.
Will update as and when I can. In the meantime, take care with todays Storm Gerrit.

Thanks. Gerrit is smashing the NE coast of Scotland - flooding and trees falling down everywhere.

Looking at the new storm, it won't be the wind that clobbers us but more rain. It's a very deep depression 🙈. Sunday being the worst.

Chin up crackers that for North Wales.
Son left Leeds at 7pm, thunder and lightning, hail was awful. He left it all behind until he left the m56 for the A55 and ran into our nasty windy weather which is still blowing hard.

We're travelling early tomorrow morning, South to North. Atm it looks like this might be a good window of weather before the next assault - yes? 🙏🏻
