Weather warning for tomorrow (Tuesday 14th)

[GloriaSmud]

issued by the metoffice for the South West, Wales and up to the Midlands. Lots of wind, rain and even the s word (snow) was mentioned on the BBC lunchtime forecast (that's probably more over high ground though.)

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Thanks for the heads up :) looking at it, snow is possible for the tops of the welsh mountains. Else where from approx Birmingham southwards very wet and pretty windy.

[GloriaSmud]

Think it's a bit of a 'calm before the storm' thing here (Leicester) this morning. Sun's out, birds are singing and it's 7c. Hope the forecasters are right about their timing as I've just got the washing out before the rain arrives!

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Looks to be around the Thames Valley/southern Wales line by 1pm. by 4pm doesn't see the main band move north but sees showers escaping into the midlands. 7pm it's scraping into the Yorkshire area and that's as far as it goes until the early hours.

Any idea if it will reach the South Coast?

Light grey clouds at the moment but not windy.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

It starts at the south coast! heaviest in the west though.

[kneedeepindaisies]

I'll let you know when it starts then

Wind is picking up now.

[PestoSwimissimos]

It's not raining yet here - outskirts of Brighton. But the clouds are looking very ominous...

[ajandjjmum]

It's beautiful here in the West Midlands too at the moment.

[kneedeepindaisies]

We have light rain and wind on the South Coast.

[HesterShaw]

Steady rain here in Cornwall but not really any wind. Dunno where that bit came from.

I'm keen to know what Friday will be like. It looks like a small, tight low will spin up and send some strong easterlies our way. Looks freezing again.

[PestoSwimissimos]

Raining now and I feel cccold

[GloriaSmud]

Clouded over a bit here and 12.6c.

Hester ~ does look blowy on Friday, especially over the SW but really wouldn't like to be in the Channel/Irish Sea over the weekend and into Monday. You're right about the temperatures ~ 3 and 4c for us Saturday night ~ 'tis looking chilly.

[HesterShaw]

In that case I would like that little low to spin off elsewhere :(

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

I'm convinced there will be new weather warnings for the weekend. Some exceptionally heavy rain now showing.

Tonight some coastal flooding is just about possible along the south around high tide time.

[HesterShaw]

We just had a gust of 69mph

It's MAY FFS!!!

[HesterShaw]

More shouting required - WE JUST HAD A BLINKING POWER CUT!

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

stupid weather.

[PestoSwimissimos]

Just seen n the weather forecast that there's the possibility of snow over the Pennines

[OnTheNingNangNong]

We're having lashings of rain, mixed with an easterly wing and high tides- the town is in for flooding, again.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

It is possible pesto, if it rains hard enough.

[kneedeepindaisies]

Apparently there is flooding between bournemouth and Southampton. I'm guessing in the New Forest.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Already. Blimey.

[GloriaSmud]

Heavy rain started here just in time for the school run at 3.15pm and hasn't stopped since. It's now 7.5c and I've put the heating back on as I'm so cold

Raintoday shows where the rain is ~ looks like South/Mid Wales is getting a heavy load of it atm.

[SconeInSixtySeconds]

Had a shed load here of rain here in the West Mids. My poor chickens are utterly bedraggled :(

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Wind blowing a hooly here.
