Keep on topic, no regionalistic remarks please.

Edit: That might not be a real word but you know what I mean

Looks to me like an event that we would expect every 5 years or so just massively hyped but it does have a chance of becoming a more significant storm. Meto going for widespread 80mph + gusts.

From Radiohead's post. Estofex gust predictions based on GFS

Looks like Guernsey is going to cop it?

Just to add that, here is the potential convective gust chart. This would be in the event of winds higher up getting mixed down to the surface.

As an aside I've just been reminded of this surfers site which covers the swell possibilities. As expected they have a warning as well

Let's see what the morning brings.
To be honest I'm getting a bit of data overload syndrome, and I have to be up early to take the youngest and her friends to Thorpe Park (closing late but should time it OK for the onset).

Taking all available data and projections, I would say there is a 90% chance of a RED upgrade in the morning and all manner of cancellations and re-scheduling going on.
