That is truly unbelievable. I guess if it's going to hit us, it may as well be record breaking. Personally I want this like a bullet in the head, but what will be will be.
It would probably not be record breaking even if it did reach 507dam...

Even for Kent, the record in April is 510dam. That won't have happened for many a year!
I'd love to see the effects of it, mind you; strong April sunshine plus deep cold air is a recipe for some fantastic convection.
Down here the runs are see-sawing around with the extent of any cold pluming and, as usual, I'm not expecting to see anything wintry (aside from perhaps some hail if I'm really lucky). Even a frost is an outside chance as it'll just be too windy for most of the time.
I'm more interested in the wild swings in temperature next week, with the 12z GFS for MBY showing a high of 18C on Wednesday followed by a high of just 8C on Thursday as a chill NE'ly blows in. That'd be worth experiencing but I suspect it'll be moderated somewhat! The action actually happens on Wednesday evening, with 16C at 4 PM and 7C at 7 PM as the wind veers.
(EDIT: Of course, given cold air aloft a quick and shortlived swing in temperatures is quite normal for April, but this wholesale switching of airmasses is something more than that - something quite special if it comes off.)
