Am I the only one who thinks some of today's warnings are way ott?
I have just seen the Met Office amber warning for 70-90mph gusts yet to me it looks more like 50-60mph gusts widely with 70mph gusts for exposed coastal areas.

Nothing OTT as you say IMO. The Amber for far NW regions is entirely justified on current obs and data, as are the yellows for 60mph gusts across many other areas. There is no Amber warning for Kent.

The GFS, NMM and a subscription only high resolution model are the ones I've been looking at. They all take the strongest winds from the southern and western edge of the low out into the Atlantic, away from the UK.
