Forecasters Warning

Heavy Rain and Gale/Severe Gale Risk

Areas Affected: Potentially all of Britain and Ireland, but coastal areas currently at highest risk of seeing gales or severe gales develop.

Valid: Late Sunday 07th - Tuesday 09th November 2010

This is an update to the Advance Weather Warning that was issued by Metcheck at 18:16 on Thursday 04th November 2010, this update issued at 19:30 on Friday 05th November 2010.

A deepening Atlantic low is still forecast to sink south-eastwards close to and over Ireland during the second half of Sunday and into Monday bringing a very unsettled spell of weather to many parts.

Confidence is slowly increasing over the track of this system, and is now moderate to high for a spell of very wet and very windy weather to affect western areas during Sunday night and Monday, with rain and potential gales affecting many regions at some stage during the above time period.

Current projections indicate that around an inch (25mm) of rain may fall from this system over central and western Britain. Snow may also fall over the mountains of Scotland.

South/south-westerly winds may gust up to 70mph across some exposed western coastal areas during Sunday night, before backing south-easterly and then easterly across northern and eastern Britain during Monday and remaining strong here with gusts of up to 55mph. Winds will become light and variable over Ireland on Monday as the low tracks southeast across the country. With spring tides expected, this may result in coastal flooding occurring in some locations.

This Advance Weather Warning will be updated tomorrow, Saturday 06th November 2010.
