Surprised nobody has flagged this up. Looking at the forecasts and the synoptic charts the wind over the next couple of days could well be as strong as last weeks storm. Coupled with heavy convective showers as cold unstable Arctic air gets mixed up there is also a risk of thunderstorms.

Estofex have a warning out for strong convective wind gusts.

Certainly the system has developed more over the last 24 hours. Not sure how sinister it will be but perhaps some trees made weak from last week might come down

Looking at the radar and the cold front approaching from the West has an intense squall line developing on its back edge, especially down towards the SW. We've just had a heavy convective shower move through.

Local shipping forecast is mentioning gusts to 50 Kts this afternoon.  

Judging by the GFS run this morning the Met Office warnings need to be extended to include areas much further North.

Judging by the wind arrows on the BBC forecast this morning it looks like our region will have the strongest winds late this evening and in the small hours. But from that forecast at least, it looks likely to be no more than the 'normal' autumn gale that often gets talked about with reference to more notable events.

Certainly a windy afternoon and night to come but just looks to be a typical Autumnal gale. Could still see some damage though in a few places.

The models are quite consistent in the track and the central pressure of the low but the wind speeds vary quite a bit - this is probably down to just how tightly packed the isobars are near the centre of the low.

Mean winds speeds of 50mph along the coasts of south and west Wales and up the Bristol Channel at 6pm this evening. Gusts likely to reach 70mph in exposed areas I would think if this is right

Beeb saying Bristol Channel will take the a hit

Fairly big Spring tides peaking on Tuesday.

Gales forecast locally until at least Monday.

I hope your just taking about your area  99 mph off the isle of wight isnt that pathetic !

To  To quote  some of the damage in my area of Hampshire..

“The weather had the greatest impact on parts of rural Hampshire, Wiltshire and Dorset,” 

Around 100 roads across the county were partially or fully closed because of fallen trees brought down by winds gusting between 60mph and 80mph. Nearly 33mm of rain was recorded at Mottisfont during Sunday and Monday’s wet and stormy conditions.

Buoy Kinsale Energy (62023) off the Irish coast SE of Cork apparently has recently recorded a gust of 70knots (80 mph)

Squall line went through here about 15 minutes ago, very gusty and temp. dropped about 3C. Blue sky to my West, expecting squally showers behind the front. Latest local forecasts going for Gale F8 with gusts to 50Kts until Monday morning.

And indeed they have. A yellow warning now in place for this evening for mainly coastal parts of N.Wales and NW England.

50-60mph, up to 70mph on exposed coasts. Still really just a regular autumn gale but one that is coming at exactly the wrong time wrt the bonfire events.  I don't know what the guidelines are but setting off fireworks in 60mph winds doesn't seem like a good idea. I imagine some events may be cancelled.

The threshold does not in any way depend on the speed of the wind. It is purely based on impact and likelihood.

The current yellow warning has only a low impact rating. It needs to go to medium in order to trigger an amber warning.
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/guide/weather/severe-weather-advice

The criteria for low impact for wind is:
Some branches or trees brought down.
Localised travel disruption.
Localised problems for high-sided vehicles on prone routes.
Drive with care, especially on exposed routes.
BE AWARE of possible debris being blown around.

The medium impact criteria are:
More widespread tree damage & other debris, slates etc dislodged from roofs.
Some minor structural damage possible.
Risk of injury from flying debris.
BE PREPARED for some travel disruption e.g. closed bridges.
Potential for some localised interruptions to power.

I would have thought we must be very close to the boundary for an amber alert but based on the description above I can see why we are still at yellow currently. There are already reports of several fallen trees blocking roads in Cornwall, Devon and SW Wales but these are quite isolated at present.

Quite a fall in pressure here in Workington today - now down to 977mb
