Weather Alert: Treeblown threat?

[peckerwoo]

Howdy

"Potential" for some emergency call out work Tuesday for N Ireland, Scotland and far N England? (Cumbria, Northumberland & Durham) The Area could alter to Include N Wales, Cheshire, Lancs, Yorks & N Derbys dependant on Track of a small but punch-packing "meso" Low pressure system set to form from tomorrow roughly on the 50° latitude mark due South 400 mile off Greenland southernmost tip.

This will deepen and track NE centering to expectedly run over the outer hebrides but will keep tabs on the path/trajectory and try updating here.

Current strong convergence in the breeding ground for this ensures simple physics will follow suit but somewhere in the region of deepening to the mid 980mb is expected hence the tight wrap could render trees in full leaf to fail under duress of Force 7-8 and gusting to possible 9-10 or even 11(violent storm >70mph), albeit on Western facing sectors with no shelter.

Winds will begin to substantially pick up in the latter half of Monday so stay tuned as it may simply blow a force 6 Strong breeze but their are huge convergences of temperature and atmospheric fluidity this time of year hence the alert.

ta for now

Welcome at the moment! It's rate slow here, could do with some wind work

high winds spell a feast, but shortly followed by famine, as any long served arb knows well, be careful what you wish for, that is short term thinking.

Newcastle is pretty bad at the moment. Supposed to be training all week for a rowing regatta but I can't see it happening if the wind/water was anything like it was today!

Rec climbing this evening though ... not unworkable at the moment.
