Here is the latest run for 12:00 on the 18th. The low is forecast to have an enlarged center, than previous forecasts, with pressure down to 966mb

If you need more detailed analysis, you may wish to look at Discussion: Severe Weather 17 to 18 Jan 2007 - Midlands Weather Forum - A UK Weather Forum Where we are following the whole day, not just the 12:00 hrs forecast period.

Winds are due to remain strong and from the west. Damage is still likely and weather warnings have been issued and you are advised to keep up to date with flood warnings for your area.

I've got an idea. Judging from this you may be interested.

This will be the last chart for the time we are looking at 12:00 on the 18th Jan 2007.

As you can see the pressure has decreased to 964mb, as the low deepens. Also the isobars are closers again, so winds expected to gust 80mph in exposed areas.

Looks like I picked the right day to study.
