TODAY ... continuing rather mild and breezy, with periods of rain spreading in from the west, but some improvements mid-day and afternoon especially in the south, with brighter skies and less windy at times for a while; however, the northern counties will get a renewed blast of wind and squally showers by afternoon or evening, lasting through the night, and eventually this will spread further south. Winds for the morning hours SW 15-25 mph increasing to 20-35 mph south, but to 35-55 mph north. Rainfalls may be slight in the south today but could amount to 10-15 mms north by evening. Highs will be in the range of 12 C north to 15 C south.
TONIGHT ... cloudy, showers or periods of rain, 15-30 mms possible, windy at times, very mild, lows only 10-11 C. Northern counties will see westerly winds at 30-50 mph while further south, a more moderate WSW 20-35 mph.
THURSDAY ... variable skies, squally showers clearing for a while then redeveloping, and gusty winds returning, highs near 13 or 14 C, winds WSW 20-40 mph.
FRIDAY ... periods of rain, becoming very windy late in the day, possible thunderstorms. Lows near 9 C and highs near 14 C. Winds increasing from SSW 15-25 mph to WSW 30-50 mph. Friday night and Saturday morning will be quite stormy with gusty winds (W 40-60 mph in northern counties).
SATURDAY ... windy and turning colder with squally showers at times, winds veering to WNW 25-45 mph, highs near 10 C.
SUNDAY ... variable cloud, risk of showers, colder with highs near 8 C.
Models are now showing a variety of solutions for the period Sunday to Tuesday with suggestions of a stormy period that comes as early as Sunday on some models and as late as Tuesday on others, so for the time being, taking the consensus to say that Monday and Tuesday may be quite chilly, with mixed wintry precipitation over some inland counties, chilly rain near the coasts, and winds veering around further to northerly or perhaps north-easterly for a while as the low passes through the Irish Sea, then southern U.K. towards France. All of this is somewhat uncertain given the rapid changes in model evolution so stay tuned as the solutions become clearer late in the week.
Tuesday (2nd) here (Vancouver) was a pleasant sunny day and quite mild with a high near 14 C. Nothing too active across North America except for some rain near New Orleans that represents the first stages of a developing east coast storm for later this week. Tomas is moving too slowly to get mixed up in that, and will be just approaching Haiti by Friday, hopefully not too strong but that possibility is being closely watched as the current 40-mph tropical storm may revert back to hurricane status by Thursday afternoon.
