Yeah...it's quite amusing really. The 'bomb' that was supposed to hit Scotland didn't really produce a 'bomb', just a very low pressure system, however this new storm that might be coming in tonight/tomorrow morning (its name is Billie, by the way) might actually 'bomb' as it passes over the south, which is going to make it possibly a quite lively night.
So yeah, brick time. :yep:

Of course, it's all still pretty theoretical, the combination of the jet stream and the turbulent weather condition that's looking that it might feed into it are making the models have headaches. Obviously as it gets closer the models firm up a little, but I doubt we'll know for sure until the 18:00Z simulation is run.

And if your late you only get this..

Can I point out that in all my travels, it was pretty much only Tiger Beer that was cause of my nakedness and ensuing bother.

Best not post anymore pics of it just in case.

Convective Outlook
VALID 06:00 UTC Thu 11 Dec 2014 - 05:59 UTC Fri 12 Dec 2014

ISSUED 18:55 UTC Wed 10 Dec 2014

ISSUED BY: Dan

Very broad upper trough will be situated north of the British Isles on Thursday, with a strong jet on its southern flank above Britain. A sharpening trough axis over the Atlantic will begin to pivot southeastwards across Scotland during the overnight hours, bringing an expected increase in lightning activity/coverage into Friday.

Cold mid-levels (-36 to -38C at 500mb) atop relatively warm SSTs will generate a couple hundred Jkg-1 CAPE, providing yet another day of scattered showers and a few thunderstorms. Again, areas most favoured will be exposed coasts to the strong west/northwesterly winds, with orographic forcing enhancing lightning potential as showers come onshore - hence the inclusion of a SLGT where lightning is more likely. Deep convection will become increasingly confined to northern Britain through the afternoon and evening as a developing frontal wave causes the flow to back farther south, temporarily introducing slightly warmer mid-levels and reducing the instability present. However, as this frontal wave tracks eastwards across England, Wales and Ireland during the evening and overnight, a sharpening upper trough axis will begin to slide southeastwards across Scotland, and by the end of the night towards Northern Ireland, bringing an increased risk of lightning activity as a renewed surge of cold mid-levels drifts southwards.

An ISOL threat level was also included for south Wales and southern England for the low potential for sporadic lightning along an active cold front, associated with a developing area of low pressure tracking eastwards across England and Wales on Thursday night. Strong DLS is likely to lead to some squall-like features, or a LEWP, with very strong, gusty winds, very heavy rain and perhaps some occasional lightning (although the depth of convection on this feature may inhibit this). Given favourable low-level shear, a tornado cannot be ruled out.

Just checked here again we're still on wind Yellow Alert.

Wind and rain are getting a little stronger.

Too bad I can't afford a UK trip right now, I really want to see if your ''weather bomb'' is worse than an average storm here :O:

I doubt it Anze, we seldom get any weather to an 'extreme' here, although I'm sure there will be those who disagree.

I wouldn't be one of them.

We have the odd freak event here, but compared to other locations on the planet our weather is pretty tame. Our tornados rarely break F1, if they even get that high, our floods are relatively rare (and mostly caused by idiots building on flood plains), our heatwaves are very mild, and our 'hurricane' was actually just a very deep low pressure.

But for people used to small swings on the barometer, these storms can be quite surprising.

Depends on where you live.

My area of the country is used to snow and I dare to go on the road in a blizzard, but a Slovene blizzard is a Canadian early spring storm.

And if the public didn't fall for it all the time all the red-top headline writers would be out of a job.

'Gosh, weather and bomb in the same word, I must buy this most excellent piece of journalistic art and see exactly what juxtaposed points of view the experts in the employ of that paper have to say on the matter.'

Or more likely, 'Phwoar, look at Jenni, 18, from Maldon, she's surround with artificial snow and has a Santa hat on!'
