    We need a good dry and calm spell, not storms, snow is fine, hate storms.

    ECMWF's 12z take on this reoccurring potential:

    As an aside, the same model is showing the possibility of some wet spells over the coming weekend, particularly over the south and east; nothing set in stone just yet but may need watching. :)

    The 18Z GFS develops a very strong storm (seems a bit too strong) but keeps it far enough out to sea that only the northwest coast would feel the strong gales.

    This type of storm you honestly wouldn't want to hit land.

    Fortunately it looks to be staying out to sea.

    Would cause utter uphevel.

    We'd be taking coastal gusts to 130mph.

    Track can change quiet a bit in 5 days...although all of the models show it curving far enough away from us at the moment.

    If you go to the Netweather GFS viewer and select UK Winds youll see how far the strong winds actually extend outwards. On the track the models are showing at the moment it would be just a strong breeze for most places apart from the west and northwest costal areas.

    UKMO fax chart :

    Can I ask a question maquiladora, or to anyone in the know...

    What's do these FAX charts tell us in comparison to the normal UKMO charts?
    Is it the main difference the fronts being shown?

    Its called a fax cause its a facsimile of the master chart. Yeah the main difference is that you can see the fronts and troughs along with the surface pressure features. Im sure the others here can tell you more about them.

    The 0Z GFS pulls the storm even further out from us, seems to be a trend emerging with that curve up to Iceland now. Could be "storm cancel" time again... :pac:

    More or less Rougies. FAX charts are the human interpretation of what is the most likely synoptic scenario to emerge based on a number of models, primarily the UKMO and ECMWF. The FAX run may sometimes conflict with the short range UKMO in which case it would be better to go with the FAX run. :)

    Just watched the Marine Weather on RTE by Met Eireann and tonight they are warning of a very big storm on Tuesday into Wednesday, also they say it could get stormy today Saturday with very heavy rain and no let up into next weekend.
