Hello again,
For the second weekend running it's a tricky one. The overall evolution of the forecast seems okay, with low pressure to the south of the UK and high pressure to the north. It is the detail which will be tricky.
It's probably best to go with the UKMO model in these circumstances, and so that's what is linked to below.
If you need to talk to a forecaster we are here all weekend and it's me on shift. The number is 090 666 444 80 and that costs £1.50 per minute. Or, if you prefer to pay by credit card call 01902 895252, state you want to pay by credit card as soon as the call is answered, and then you'll pay £11.75 for the whole call.
Don't forget, your friends can subscribe to this forecast by emailing sailingweather-subscribe@weatherweb.net
Have a great weekend,
Simon

WEEKEND SAILING FORECAST
Issued: 1400 Thursday 8th September 2005
SATURDAY (see http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/fax/PPVI89.TIF)
Low pressure will be to the south of the Scilly Isles at midday on Saturday. The cold front from the low will be through Ireland, Wales and the north Midlands, whilst the warm front is expected through Scotland. Two lots of weather to highlight, the first is heavy rain in western and northwest areas, the second are heavy thundery showers forming over southern England in the afternoon.
For western and northwest parts of England and Wales, as well as Ireland, the day is going to be cloudy and wet. heavy bursts of thundery rain will last through much of the day, with mist and fog on the hills. Further cloud and rain is likely through southern and central Scotland, although the north should stay dry.
For southern England, after a dry start with broken cloud, showers will be developing. The showers are likely to become heavy and thundery into the afternoon, with the highest risk currently expected through southeast England.
Winds will be mainly from the E or SE 8-12kt (F3-F4).
SUNDAY (see http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/fax/PPVK89.TIF)
A weak occlusion moving southeastwards through the north and west on Sunday, as a strong ridge of high pressure builds to the west.
Overall the day should be mainly fine through many northern and western areas. here there will be plenty of sunshine, once any morning mist patches have cleared. The occluded front may have some cloud and a few showers associated with it as it moves south, but overall it should be fair.
Winds mainly from the N 7-12kt (F3).
