Shandon Par Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Storm Jake - does that involve white lightning? I was just reminiscing about White Lightning this morning. Been off the booze for a week and getting all nostalgic. It was a pretty cost effective way of getting jaked when I was a yoof. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityDave Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Named storm Abigail is going to have 3 stages of development as it bothers wheelie bins around Scotland's streets over the next 24hrs. First stage should reach us this early afternoon with strong to gale force winds affecting West Scotland, Ireland and the Western Isles worst, this will move across the country behind a cold front during the rest of the day moving out into the North Sea and affecting the east coast by evening. In other words expect blustery showers moving quickly across the country from west to east with more wind than rain, snowing at higher levels and the odd rumble of thunder. The second stage while all that is going on is south westerly winds picking up in the west to reach storm force with gusts reaching 60-70mph Western Isles and the western side of the mainland affected from about Oban northward. Third stage is what the storm does overnight and tomorrow morning. The storm is expected to move in a more northwards direction and increase in sustained winds and gusts. Gusts are expected to reach 70-80mph overnight with the worst affected the Western Isles, the north west corner of the mainland and the Northern Isles. Currently the winds are picking up over Ireland as the cold front pushes through giving of those blustery showers, sferic charts showing lightning strikes. Impressive air pressure drop over the next 24hrs, right down to a low of 966 and this is all happening just of our coast. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/surface-pressure/#?tab=surfacePressureColour&fcTime=1447243200 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
