Storm Ciaran Is Coming Thursday

Hang on tight to your hats because Storm Ciaran is heading our way Wednesday night into Thursday and it is going to be a whopper.
Meteorologists are predicting that the massive storm barrelling towards the UK will have the lowest air pressure on record of 948.4mb and the lower the air pressure the stronger the winds, with the highest speeds expected on the south coast.
The extreme of temperatures over North America has sped up the Jet Stream which is carrying Ciaran across the Atlantic and it is due to spit it out over the UK and the Met Office has issued an amber rain and wind weather warning from Cornwall right across the south coast to Kent between 6am and 8pm Thursday.
To rub salt in the wounds, due to the curl of the jet stream, the storm will grind almost to a halt over the UK, dumping up to 60mm of rain on an already soggy Britain causing widespread flooding but there is a chance that Ciaran may yet only clip the British Isles rather than slam into us.
'A slight shift of the storm could significantly increase or decrease the impact to the UK' said a Met Spokesman before mumbling that another storm is following Ciaran and should turn up just in time for the weekend.
I think this could be a good weekend to stay in watch Christmas Films on Great TV this weekend, if i can get home Thursday that is.
