East Coast Weekend Forecast

[simonjk]

Hi all,

By special request for this weekend:

SATURDAY:
SE F5-6 could be a local F7 offshore for a time, then becoming S-SW F4 behind the occluded front which moves north.
Rain tracking north with the front, some heavy, reducing vis to M or P at times. Becoming G behind the front in the afternoon and fair in this zone too.

SUNDAY:
Early SE F3, quickly becoming S-SE F5-F6 then SW F6 through East Anglia. Note I can't rule out winds to F7 later, especially south of The Humber.
Unsettled, especially in the morning, more rain and ehavy showers. Vis M or P in the rain and showers.

More on Weatherweb.TV

Hope that helps,
Simon

Brilliant.... thanks Simon....

I chatted to a friend who is a pilot last week, and also a bit of a PPrune addict....

I gather you are just as active in that environment... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It is very much appreciated.

[bastonjock]

on reading that forecast,i might bring my Marquee along,it could keep te rain off a bit,might need some help to hold it down if the wind picks up

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Or a passport to get home again.... /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Thanks Simon

Think i better keep that one hidden from the crew or they wont even let me slip lines for a poodle up and down the crouch

 

[bastonjock]

on that forecast,i will have to very reluctantly pass,my mac 26 is rated at cat c which means im not meant to go out to play after a F6.If it was only moi i wuld not give a toss but,i do not want to scare my wife and daughter.

ive gone and derigged my boat,we have the cooler filled with barbie type grub.

i may still head down to SYA tonight,if the weather is too strong,i may potter up the Orwell.

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Matt,

Head down to SYH anyway...

Walton is only just outside Harwich, and you may be surprised at the weather!

If it ends up too much on Sunday to want to go back then there is a slip at Titchmarsh.... i'll give you a lift back to fetch your car....

 

[Sixpence]

As per phone call Matt, see you down there /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Matt

If you intend to park on the beach and we do as well we could rig some sort of cover between the 2 boats.

See you tomorrow.

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

you could be popular..... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Seriously, the forecast looks like any rain will be gone by mid afternoon, so shouldn't be a problem.

Same to you guys as I said to Jim... i'll probably be there this evening, and will give the beach a quick once over at LW to see where is best to put 'em ashore....

 

[bastonjock]

thats sounds like a great idea clive ,well ive just popped out to the shop,i have my pistols at the ready,infact i think ill go get the boat on the trailer.

sorry i had to rush away Neil,its been so long since we last spoke, still plenty of time over the weekend.

 

[Sixpence]

See you there Matt, as said on the phone, help will be available if needed

Many thanks for forecast, to echo the old weatherman's response it was a great forecast shame about the weather.

Min has been working on pirate sounds over the week, lots of Aarghs and hobbling about on sticks, but I think that had something to do with the bad back. Not going to risk any further injury getting back on Sunday, looks like another weekend indoors /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

On the positive based on the season so far the weather will probably be great on Monday for 5 days. At least the barnacles seem to be growing well.
