Things are starting to look very windy for the start ot the weekend with a risk of some severe gales affecting much of the country.
Current predictions suggest the track of the low pressure will be close to Ireland and then into Scotland early on Saturday. We then get left with a brisk and showery southwesterly flow, before yet anotuher deep low arrives in southern Ireland late on Sunday.
It could be that most of the country is lucky and we get a weather window between these two lows when winds will typically be a F5 or F6, at least from the middle of Saturday onwards.
Above our heads the jet stream is over southern England and Wales with the classic left exit region of the jet stream over Ireland and Scotland, hence the rapid deepening of the area of low pressure.
Will keep you up to date on this one.
