Yup, SW and EA in the firing like by the looks of it, especially Cornwall. Will be interesting to see this unfold.
IMBY its looking a bit undramatic, but these things can change.
Andy - according to the BBC the amber warning for Worcestershire is legit
Because of the recent wet conditions and a sensistive catchment area it is likely that there wiil be significant impacts in Worcestershire from heavy rain and strong winds on Sunday.
Seems a bit odd to me though.
The last time 30mm+ fell in a single day here was way back on December 13th 2008 when 30.2mm fell. I'm not sure if we will get that much tomorrow here though.

11.3 mm since 12 am midnight over here. And still raining, of course.
There's a mass of hot air over the continent. That'll give the low some grunt. Hence the heavier rain.
The last time here was this Thursday gone but I'm not sure we will achieve 30mm+ from this event. I think its the longevity of the event that will tot the totals up rather than the heaviness of the rain but we'll all know by this time tomorrow night.
I bet William and Kate are glad they got married on April 29th 2011 and not April 29th 2012.
Look at the upper air temperature gradient over such a short distance - -6 C to 17 C at 850 hPa across something like 300 miles. http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-bin/expertcharts?LANG=en&MENU=0000000000&CONT=ukuk&MODELL=nae&MODELLTYP=1&BASE=-&VAR=t850&HH=12&ZOOM=1&ARCHIV=0&RES=0&WMO=&PERIOD= I'm surprised there are no supercelled thunderstorms crashing away over the South of the UK with a set up like that!Oh, and my rain gauge now reads 13.4 mm.

and the cold air coming from colorado, texas and the south would be in record tornados warning by now
The actual drawn area includes Pershore but not Evesham; the county includes Evesham but not Bidford or Stratford. Yet all these towns are on the same river, but nowhere near the Severn which if it affects Worcester will likewise affect Twekesbury in Gloucestershire.It simply does not make any possible sense at all.Wierd.
Now had 19mm for today and still raining. Max rain rate is showing 108.53mm/hr on my AWS at 20.50. Wind max gust is 22mph although mine is sheltered.
