Fireworks?
Thought they'd all be used by now.
Not even close.....Bristol always seems to have them going off for 2-3 days either side of the 5th.
Sunday night Atlantic storm

Any chance this will hit Brisol? could do with some exciting weather
That and something to drown out THE BLOODY FIREWORKS.
I hope it ravages Bristol and Glasgow and causes all flights to be cancelled. That way I will avoid a meeting tomorrow that I'm dreading. If the guy can't take off and can't land chances are he won't get here!

Probably because you live in neither Scotland nor the South West?
Nothing happening here either. Shock as met office overhype something yet again.

Winds picking up a bit here in belfast with a bit of drizzle coming down.
Wheres the storm
Bit of drizzle sums it up, maybe south of here is lots worse, but not much around my place.

Tornado watch has been issued by Torro now
http://www.torro.org.uk/site/forecast.php
TORRO TORNADO WATCH 2010/008
A TORNADO WATCH has been issued at 17:50GMT on Sunday 7th November 2010
Valid from/until: 17:50 - 13:00GMT on Sunday 7th/Monday 8th November 2010, for the following regions of the United Kingdom & Eire:
Parts of (see map)
Eire
N Ireland
Western and southern Wales
SW & Central Southern England
THREATS
Tornadoes; hail; thunderstorm wind gusts to 55 knots; torrential rain; and isolated cloud-ground lightning.
SYNOPSIS
Rather intense Atlantic storm will push an occluding frontal system into western parts of the British Isles overnight. The triple point is likely to cross Eire and thence into the S Wales/SW England area. To the north of this feature, the eastward progression of the frontal system is likely to become very slow, whereas the southern portion of the front continues eastwards across southern coastal counties of England through Monday morning.
Hi-resolution models simulate a forced line of convection along the cold front/occlusion. In addition, there is the suggestion of misocylones along the front, and given the strong vertical wind shear, and sharp veer across the front, seems reasonable. Stong convergence along the front and INVOF misocyclones should promote fairly strong updraughts in the lower atmosphere. The backed flow, and hence increased low-level shear INVOF misocyclones, and perhaps topographical features, suggests a tornado risk. In addition, strong wind gusts are likely, although these may non-convective in nature at times. Close to the triple-point depression, increased deep lift and the advection of reasonably warm air from the English Channel may enhance the thunder risk, and perhaps pose a risk of hail, locally heavy.
Behind the frontal system, showers and thunderstorms are expected across parts of S Eire, SW England and S Wales through Monday.

If Torro did the american tornado weather , people would have been wiped out. Torro are not very accurate

What about Estofex then?

I'm glad its not at Nottingham, Hate storms 
.
Its partly due to the fact that I learned a long time ago that houses in the UK are only designed to withstand wind speed of 70mph and anything over that can cause substantial structural damage. I cant afford structural damage...
