Hello,
Well, I've been warning of strong winds again this weekend (the jet stream is certainly living up to its name) and so the latest forecast is below. SWIS members will already know that I have been updating all week at www.SailingWeather.co.uk about the likely conditions this weekend.
If you haven't joined SWIS, now is your chance to get a free 14-day trial. I want the service to be much more than just another weather forecast site and that's why SWIS members have been reading and watching videos all week about the coming weekend and the conditions it might bring.
To register go to http://www.sailingweather.co.uk and don't forget you can receive forecasts by email and your mobile telephone as well as on the internet.
Onto Weather School matters and I have announce the data for the autumn Schools. Sailing Weather (Part 1) will be held on Sunday 16th October 2011, and Sailing Weather (Part 2) will be held on Saturday 5th November 2011. For more information and full details of the course, see http://www.weatherschool.co.uk.
Now on with the weekend forecast, and any friends or colleagues who want to receive this forecast can do so by emailing sailingweather-subscribe@weatherweb.net
Have a great weekend,
Best wishes,

WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST
Issued: 3pm Thursday 16th June 2011
SATURDAY
A complex area of low pressure extends west to east through the north of the country today. There will be an occluded front lying through the low pressure area, but the main feature of this will be the winds.
Heavy rain will be affecting parts of northern England and southern Scotland, this slowly easing into the North Sea. For northern Scotland the day is likely to be dry and there may be some sunny spells here too.
To the south of the low there will be blustery showers. Most of the showers on western coasts and hills, although just about anywhere couold see them and they may well be heavy at times where they do occur.
Watch for some very strong winds across the southern half of the country with some very strong gusts. Generally winds will eb W F6-F7 but gusting F8 and occasionally F9 probably south of the Severn-Thames Estuary, F5-F6 to the north of this. Turning cyclonic as one heads north and then becoming NE F4-F5 over northern Scotland.
SUNDAY
The area of low pressure will be clearing to the east, with a weak ridge building to the southwest. This is going to be turning the flow more northwesterly, bringing trough southwards through Scotland and eastern England.
It will be Scotland and eastern England where most of the showers will occur, although some heavy ones will be affecting parts of Wales and the Midlands and well as northern parts of Ireland at first. More southern areas should have more scattered showers.
A tendency for the showers to fade as we head into the afternoon, although still some heavy ones across Scotland and eastern England.
Winds mainly WNW F7 for a time over East Anglia and the southeast, then becoming F6 for most, but F5 in Scotland and the west of England, Wales and Ireland later.
