This Weekends Weather

Post by John Wallis »

What do you guys think of this weekend's weather/wind strength?

http://www.meteonet.nl/aktueel/brackall.htm

Saturday looks blown out with a cold front coming through during the evening/night. Is there a slight glimmer of hope for Sunday? Post frontal with high pressure behind/south of it. The isobars are trying to stretch out a little maybe just maybe a chance. Looks lighter further south.
Is there any positive vibes out there................

Nip off to Tesco this lunchtime and get yourself a large stock of red wine for the weekend with a box set of 24 to watch.

With my limited knowledge and experience for PGs I’d say not possible on Saturday. A very slim chance on Sunday, possibly for the West Coast? maybe Lowca or Haig? but not holding my breath. I’ll wait and take a decision on Saturday night when forecasts have been updated, we see the position of the cold front and ………. I have a glass of that red in my hand.

I’m sure though as the weekend is nearly upon us that we’ll have a post with all four corners of the country talked about with 20 or so potential sites and 20 or so varying opinions. :roll:

Enjoy, whatever your decision.
