The above is a
supercomputer weather forecast picture for 18 hours ahead
showing the anticipated weather pattern over Great Britain
and Western Europe. It is not a good time to try crossing
the English Channel it seems. The coloured lines represent
rain. While the packed isobars and the low pressure system
represent the path of the storm, high winds and generally a
fairly foul few hours of weather. The storm would appear to
be slow moving.
