Interesting data from the K1 Buoy. The low has now passed to the east of this Buoy but the pressure has not risen much as yet which you might expect it would start to do by now (it was 990.1mb at both 17z and 18z and only up to 990.3mb at 19z).
This could be for a number of reasons. It could be the low has slowed down its forward movement or it could be deepening rapidly or a combination of both. Or there could just be a fairly large area of slack pressure near the centre but that would tend to suggest there is no rapid deepening taking place. We will just have to wait and see how things develop over the next couple of hours.
Presure continues to fall at Sevenstones Lightship ahead of the low but not by as much in the past hour. 995.1mb at 19z which is a fall of 4.4mb in 3 hours.
