00:00Hello and a very warm welcome to this week's Met Office deep dive. If you've
00:05not seen one of these before this is where we take 20 minutes maybe half an
00:10hour to look at the detail of one or two meteorological subjects. Now this week
00:15there really is only one story in town. Storm Eowyn which is arriving on Friday
00:21so we'll be looking closely at where this storm has come from, why it is
00:26forming, what is giving it its intensity. If you enjoy this then please do hit the
00:32thumbs up button and why not subscribe to our YouTube channel. Spread the love
00:37as well let people know that we're on here. We love making this kind of content
00:42and we know from the comments that you guys enjoy watching it. Speaking of
00:46comments please do fill those in as well. Again we love reading through them.
00:51Any suggestions, any ideas for future things that we could do in the Met
00:55Office deep dive or in our weather studio live that we'll be doing this
01:00Friday as the storm hits. Okay lots and lots to get through so let's get right
01:07stuck into it straight away with the view from space what's been going on
01:11over the past few days. You can see low-pressure systems have mostly been
01:15drifting towards the north of the UK taken away up there by the jet stream
01:21and also things have been pretty active in and around the Mediterranean. Swirl
01:25of low-pressure across Italy bringing some heavy rain here a few days ago and
01:30now there's a little weather system just off the coast of Iberia. Now that's a
01:34named storm down here bringing still some wet weather over the next couple of
01:39days. The potential for further flooding across parts of Spain and Portugal. You
01:43can see that circulation there and the weather fronts still affecting Iberia
01:47for the next day or so with further heavy showers to come here and say the
01:51potential for some flooding. But for us the weather has been relatively quiet
01:55because we've been between those two kind of storm tracks if you like. We've
01:59seen some stubborn mist and fog and that will again be a bit of an issue tonight
02:03also. But the weather though remaining pretty calm for the next few days. It's
02:08Thursday and more particularly into Friday when we're concerned about this
02:13storm arriving. Storm Eowyn which was named this morning. We named it because
02:17we're concerned about the the strength of the wind on Friday. Damaging gusts of
02:21wind are likely. The exact location, the exact detail, well we're more confident
02:27on that today than we were yesterday. And again we'll look at some of the
02:31reasons behind that. But where is this storm system coming from? Well for that
02:35if you're a regular viewer to the Deep Dive you'll know that we have to look
02:38high in the sky where the airplanes fly and that's where the jet stream lives. A
02:43couple of areas of low pressure near the UK at the moment but not many isobars on
02:47the charts. The the jet is split which is why the lows have been drifting up
02:51towards Iceland or down here down across the Mediterranean. But look out here a
02:58beast is brewing. A really intense jet stream. You can put the the winds on in
03:05the middle of that jet stream. Close to 200 miles an hour in that jet core which
03:10is streaming out of North America and that is why we're seeing big changes to
03:15our weather through the course of this week. Why are we seeing that change? Well
03:19it's all to do with a huge drop in temperatures across the United States.
03:24Let's take the the jet off for now. You can see this really cold air. Arctic air
03:30is blasting its way down across the United States. How cold is it? Well let's
03:34take a look at some of the the temperatures at time of recording.
03:38Negative double digits in New York. It'll get a little milder through the day as
03:43we see the sun rising a little higher. But generally speaking this cold air
03:47persists across the Great Lakes. Negative teens there in Chicago. And although it
03:53gets a little milder in Chicago the cold air does kind of persist across these
03:58eastern areas for the next few days. And it's that cold air drifting south that
04:03is what is driving the jet stream. That is what is intensifying the jet stream.
04:09Why does that happen? Well it's about the contrast. It's about the gradient
04:14that's in the temperatures that drives the jet stream. So because all this
04:18this tropical air is here that's not really shifting. What we're doing is
04:22drawing down the colder air from the north and that will keep going. And it's
04:27on this boundary where the cold meets the warm you get a big drop a big
04:32gradient between the cold and the warm. That is where the jet stream is at its
04:37most active. And look at that. Fast forwarded just to the middle of the
04:42night tonight and we've already got those winds in that same location. Now
04:45over 200 miles an hour. I might even be able to find a higher one. Look at that.
04:49220 miles an hour. Now those are the winds high up. 30,000 feet nine
04:55kilometers up. That's the the winds in the middle of the jet stream. But that is
05:00that powerful jet. We may even see it touching 240 perhaps even 250 miles an
05:05hour. It does mean that if you're on a transatlantic flight well you'll get
05:10home pretty sharply over the next couple of days. If you know anyone heading back
05:13from the United States that jet stream is powering across the Atlantic. And yeah
05:20look at that. It's really extending now. Again let's see if we can find any
05:25stronger winds in the middle of that. 224 mile an hour in the middle of there. So
05:30yes a very powerful jet stream. And that's important because that is what
05:36intensifies the low pressure system that will become Storm Ewa. Not really much
05:41at the moment. It's here. Fairly fairly feeble looking feature down here.
05:46Thousand and three hectopascal thousand three millibars in the middle of that.
05:50But as we go through the next 48 hours or so it really starts to intensify by
05:57the time we get to Thursday lunchtime. It's quite a quite an active area of
06:02low pressure. Let's just take it back a little bit and look at the central
06:05pressures it starts to form now. Thursday seven o'clock in the morning. Put the
06:09pressure on that 986 hectopascals. But fast forward another 24 hours. Friday at
06:17seven o'clock. That's when it's close to or just over Northern Ireland. And that
06:21is now 953 hectopascals. So what has that dropped from 986 to 953. 30, 30 odd
06:35hectopascals. 30 millibars in 24 hours. Which makes it explosive
06:40cyclogenesis. And some, if you play around with the numbers, we might even
06:44get a more, a bigger drop in that central pressure. If it's anything over 24
06:50hectopascals in 24 hours we can say it's explosive cyclogenesis. That is what
06:55that term means. If a low pressure loses 24 hectopascals from its central
06:59pressure in 24 hours. But some of the solutions, some of the computer models
07:03are suggesting that the drop may, if we get the timings right, may be close to 50
07:07hectopascals. So a really intense drop in the pressure pattern from this storm
07:14system as it approaches. And that's why we're concerned. Just look at the
07:18isobars that have popped out of it. Let's take the, take those numbers off
07:22for now. And just, just look at the pressure pattern as it intensifies
07:27between Thursday morning, where it's just out here, just gradually the isobars
07:35just jumping, jumping out of it as it intensifies. So yes, that's low pressure
07:40system becoming storm AON as it approaches the UK. The isobars tightly
07:44packed. It's going to really barrel into the Republic of Ireland first Thursday
07:47night, Friday morning, before it then crosses into the UK and gives us
07:50problems during the course of Friday. Now, really, let's dig a little deeper
07:55into why that is intensifying so much. Because, just because it's a strong jet
08:00stream doesn't necessarily mean that low pressure is going to intensify. Let's
08:05rewind the clock and take you back to, zoom out a little bit as well, put the
08:10jet stream on. Now, if we look at it here, the position of that low, it's just in
08:18here. The jet actually isn't as strong now. These numbers not up to 200 miles an
08:23hour, but still, you know, it's still a pretty powerful jet, 170 miles an hour. But it's
08:27starting to shift and it's starting to change. At the moment, in this position,
08:31it's about Thursday, three o'clock in the morning, before it really starts its
08:34intensification. It's on the cold side of the jet. It's not doing much.
08:39The jet is reasonably consistent. It's quite long. It's one kind of length, one
08:46kind of long jet streak, if you like. Now, if the jet actually stays the same all
08:51the way, then there's nothing to really intensify that low pressure. What
08:55actually happens, if we zoom in a little bit, is the jet kind of splits up a
09:01little bit. Let's take those numbers off because we don't need them now. Take the
09:07pressure off first. Take the numbers off. Watch the jet. Watch what happens to the
09:12jet stream as we go through Thursday morning and into Thursday afternoon. Now,
09:18it's kind of split. It's split into two different areas. The actual center of the
09:25jet, not as strong, 165 miles an hour. Up here, it's 160 as well. So it's not as
09:31intense. It's not about the intensity of the jet. Again, it's about the gradient
09:36because in here, the jet's actually pretty weak. And what we call this,
09:40instead of having that long jet stream, now we've got a smaller jet streak. And
09:46that's important because it's that that helps to intensify the low pressure
09:51systems. If I can maybe show you on a diagram. Let's do some drawing. Use
09:59my GCSE art in a little section here. So imagine this is the jet, but that kind of
10:07smaller jet streak, if you like. So in here, we've got strong winds. Here, the
10:13winds are lighter. So coming in here, we've got an acceleration. The winds are
10:16picking up here, but coming out of here, the winds are decelerating. And what you
10:21end up with, what we call this, is the jet exit here and the jet entrance here.
10:26And you have a right and a left. And in this section here, the left exit of the
10:34jet, and in this section here, the right entrance of the jet, the winds high in
10:39the sky are diverging. And there, that means because the winds high in the sky
10:43are diverging, it sucks up air from the ground. And these areas, these little
10:48pockets, the left exit and the right entrance, are areas where low pressure
10:53systems can really breed, really intensify. Because of that divergence,
10:56basically sucking the air up through. So it creates a pocket, a low down, a low
11:01pressure system. And in here, actually, the air is converging. Now, I did a
11:09special jet stream deep dive in the summer of 2023. I'll put a link to it in
11:15the chat, explaining more detail about the dynamics of a jet and why that
11:19happens. But basically, going back to the jet here, what we have on Thursday
11:27morning is that jet splitting. And that develops that low pressure system as it
11:37splits. And it's that little split which is more important than purely the
11:43strength of the jets. This left exit area that then you put the pressure pattern
11:47on, it's in here. Look, that's exactly where it is in that left exit area. That
11:51is why overnight Thursday, that low intensifies further because it's in that
11:55left exit region of the jet. So it's not just about the pure power of the jet.
12:00It's actually that little split which is really crucial to spinning up storm
12:05Eowyn as it approaches the UK. So yes, storm system approaching, the jet is
12:09responsible. And in particular, intensification as it approaches the
12:14country. So, yeah, we are going to see some strong winds. What kind of wind
12:18speeds are we going to see? Well, first of all, that does depend on the exact
12:23track of the load. So I was showing you there was the Met Office computer model,
12:28the deterministic when we run it, that main run of the Met Office computer model.
12:33But obviously, that's not always that useful because this time yesterday, it
12:37was in a slightly different position to what it is today. And it always is going
12:41to shift a little bit. There's obviously a lot of variables. There's a lot of
12:43moving parts. There's a lot of energy involved in the atmosphere. So it's also
12:47three days away. The storm hasn't formed yet. So, you know, there's going to be a
12:50shift here and there in each individual model run. So what we try and do is look
12:55at the model. The models run them a number of times, what we call an ensemble
13:01forecast, and run those computer models a number of times. Now, I'm going to show
13:05you the European model run. This is a Dalmatian plot showing when we run the
13:11model many, many times, each different color represents a different spot,
13:14represents a position of the load. Now, I'm sorry it's not super clear,
13:17but hopefully you can just see in there, that's the UK outline there.
13:22In fact, can I draw that on? Oh, let's try and draw it on. Oh, that's not...
13:28Why is that not in blue? It's the wrong color. Anyway. Oh, it's because I'm in that.
13:38There we go. So that's the South Coast. That's Northern Scotland.
13:41That's the East Coast. And that's the Republic of Ireland there. So the low is
13:47in here, heading into Western Scotland from the deterministic run of the
13:52European model in there. That's what all these different colored isobars are.
13:55But each of these different dots represents a different center of the low
13:59when you run it many times. Now, what you can see here, actually,
14:02is the main deterministic run is a little further ahead than most of the ensemble
14:07members. So there's a bit of uncertainty about the position.
14:09The different colors represent the different intensities of the low.
14:12The pinks and the yellows, really deep areas of low pressure.
14:15They're all a little further north and west. So this is the most recent run of the
14:20European model run, and it's actually showing quite good clustering,
14:24although they are a little bit further west than the main run.
14:27If I show you what we were looking at yesterday, and this is the run from today.
14:35This is the run from yesterday, and you can see there's a bigger spread.
14:40The low pressure systems are more evenly spread around the main run,
14:43but they are more distributed. There's a wider distribution.
14:47What's actually come together is that they are getting more bunched,
14:50and that gives us more confidence in the forecast.
14:53Another thing we can look at is the Met Office model compared to the European
14:57model. And this was yesterday. Sorry, this is a bit tricky to pick out,
15:03but I just want to show you the two different positions of the low.
15:05So the Met Office model was here, much further to the north and west,
15:08and this was the ECMWF, the European main model run.
15:11So a bit of disparity there at 12 o'clock. The midnight runs were even further apart.
15:16But looking at today's, then they are much closer together, closer to the UK.
15:23They're much closer together and closer in.
15:25So there's much more confidence in that forecast because they are coming together,
15:30which is why we're now more confident about where the strongest winds are going to be,
15:34which is why we've named the storm and issued more broad warnings for the winds that are coming in.
15:41Let's take a look at what winds we can kind of expect.
15:45So this is the graph, the map showing the wind gusts over the course of Tuesday and Wednesday.
15:51The winds are pretty light. There's a front coming in on Thursday.
15:54They'll bring some rain and the gusts will pick up.
15:56But this is Friday. This is when the storm really hits.
15:58This is why we are concerned about the strength of the winds coming in.
16:03And I'm going to show you the wind accumulations now,
16:05the strongest winds that we're likely to see as this system comes in.
16:10And you can see why we're concerned because just you can see the low in there,
16:14the way the winds are just to the south of the low as it approaches on Friday morning,
16:18really strong gusts coming in across the Republic of Ireland and then in this way across Northern Ireland,
16:24southern Scotland and northern England, north Wales.
16:26That's the zone we are most concerned about, gusts of 70 to 80 miles an hour likely.
16:31And this little pocket showing around coast, we could see gusts maybe as high as 90 miles an hour in exposed areas.
16:37So that is the zone that we're most concerned about.
16:40Those winds really picking up as the low comes in.
16:43Now, of course, it does depend on the position of the low.
16:46We've talked about how that can shift around.
16:48So, yeah, it is one to keep an eye on.
16:50Definitely the warnings will be constantly monitored.
16:55He says scrambling around to find those warnings, which are here.
17:00So these are the warnings that have been updated today on Tuesday.
17:03Yellow wind warnings covering much of the UK and this zone here,
17:09southern Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern England, northern and west Wales.
17:13That's the area where we have the potential for the highest impacts.
17:18Now, they're all yellow warnings.
17:19But it's one thing you may or may not be aware of.
17:22Yellow warnings have different flavours.
17:24We have different types of warnings based on the warning matrix.
17:29And the warning matrix works out what the impacts are going to be,
17:32or it based on how strong the impacts are going to be compared to how likely they are.
17:39And in that central zone, that yellow warning, we've got impacts that are potentially very high.
17:43So high impact.
17:45And if we get more confident over the next few computer model runs as the storm develops and intensifies, gets closer,
17:53then there's always the potential to escalate those warnings.
17:56So that's something we're keeping a very close eye on because, say, those winds potentially are damaging.
18:0170, 80 mile an hour gusts are going to cause problems across those highly populated areas of northern England,
18:07southern Scotland, northern Ireland, north and west Wales,
18:11easily bringing down branches, causing structural damage, power issues.
18:16There's going to be widespread problems to transport as well.
18:19So it's an area we're keeping a close eye on.
18:21The other yellow warnings we are expecting, there's a higher, slightly higher chance,
18:25but of lower impacts covering further south and further north.
18:29But the warnings actually also continue for Saturday across Scotland.
18:37So as the storm system moves away on its back edge, there's still going to be some strong winds across parts of Scotland.
18:43The warning continues into Saturday across Scotland.
18:46And a reminder of those other warnings there for Friday.
18:50They've been updated this morning.
18:51You can go and check out those warnings for yourself and see the differences on our app and on our website.
18:58But yeah, broadly speaking, the central zone 60, 70, 80 mile an hour gusts,
19:02the possibility of even 90 mile an hour gusts around some exposed areas.
19:07Obviously, as we saw earlier, Republic of Ireland also likely to be hit by those strong and gusty winds.
19:13Let's look at some of the what the ensemble messages are coming around these winds,
19:18because those pink gust graphics are just from our one deterministic, the main run of the Met Office model.
19:24But if we look at the ensembles, this is now showing the probability of a certain threshold of wind being met.
19:32I've put in, we've got 70 mile an hour gusts here, and it's not showing where we're going to get 70 miles.
19:37It's showing what the probability is in those areas of getting 70 mile an hour gusts.
19:41And you can see a high probability on those coasts of southwest of the Republic of Ireland.
19:47You know, 90 percent of gusts of 70 miles an hour, a decent chance we're going to get some higher gusts in that part of the world.
19:55So this is on Friday morning. The winds then strengthen further, further north and further west.
20:01And then the probabilities of those 70 mile an hour gusts really increase across Northern Ireland,
20:07the Isle of Man in particular, and then into northwest England, north Wales as we go into the afternoon.
20:13So that's the probability based on the ensemble.
20:15When you run it many times, you can work out the chance, the likelihood of those kind of gusts being met.
20:21And 70 mile an hour gusts are pretty serious.
20:23And as we saw earlier, those gusts could be even higher, 80 miles an hour in some instances.
20:30So, yes, the winds are the main cause of concern for Storm Eowyn as it approaches and comes in on Friday and into Saturday.
20:40But they're not the only thing that we need to concern ourselves with, because it is also going to be pretty wet as the rain bands move in.
20:49Let's actually take a quick look at the overview of the weather for the next few days, kind of brushed over the next couple of days.
20:56There's a weak weather front sitting over, I'd say weak.
20:58It's been pretty damp and miserable in in Greater Manchester for a day or so, hasn't it?
21:02So it's not been very pleasant there. But that band of rain sinks south as we go into Wednesday.
21:07That front clears away and then we can start to see the jet getting a little lively.
21:12One active weather front comes across the country.
21:14That'll have some snow mixed in across the hills of northern England and Scotland on Thursday.
21:19The winds will pick up as that front swings through as well.
21:23So Thursday we'll see some rain, first proper rain for a while for many parts of the country before we get into Friday.
21:30And there are those winds again, those really strong winds across that swathe of northern Ireland, southern Scotland, northern England.
21:36But it does also turn milder. Notice how those temperatures really jump up by the time we get to Friday.
21:44After a cold couple of days, temperatures by Friday up to double figures.
21:48Now, obviously, it won't feel all that warm because the winds will be picking up.
21:50But that is that is quite a big jump compared to what we've been used to for the past week or so.
21:55So temperatures will jump up. We do have to watch the rainfall because that rain as it comes in, this is showing the accumulations over the next few days.
22:03But if we put the put it on a one map, you can see there'll be some patchy rain across the country into Wednesday.
22:11And then it picks up a little on Thursday. And by the time we get to Friday, notice it's picking out the hills there.
22:17So Cumbria, hills, mountains of Wales, the moors of southwest England, western parts of Scotland there.
22:23That's where we could see, you know, 50 millimetres of rain over three or four days.
22:27Now, it's not a huge cause for concern at this stage.
22:30But we are going to see that rainbow moving through on Thursday and then followed by this rain.
22:33The good news is that the storm system is moving through so quickly because the jet's still active and pushing it through that the rain won't last all that long in any one location.
22:42So it should tend to zip through. So at the moment, it's an area we're keeping a close eye on, but not especially concerned with these amounts.
22:49But it has been quite wet winter in some locations, particularly some of these western areas.
22:54So it is something that we need to keep a close eye on.
22:57So that's the rainfall. But that's not the only thing we need to worry about, the snow, because the snow level is actually dropping.
23:05It is going to get quite chilly. But if we put that back on, these are the freezing levels, which by the time we get to Thursday.
23:13So the freezing level is how high up in the sky you've got to go before the temperature gets to gets to zero.
23:18And you can see that the freezing level has really dropped by Thursday morning, just 400 metres there across Scotland.
23:25And as that rain band comes in, as I mentioned, it will have some snow mixed in on it on Thursday.
23:33And this is the snow accumulations, three hourly, three hour snow accumulations during Thursday as it comes in, just a few pockets in there.
23:42But notice that as that front moves through, as we go into Friday, well, that's quite a bit of snow likely there up over the hills and mountains of Scotland on Friday morning.
23:52So that's another thing we need to keep an eye on, because as everything chills down on Thursday night, then that system comes in on Friday.
24:02It's going to bring some wet weather across Scotland and that could provide some snowfall for a time over the high ground.
24:09But nonetheless, there are some significant roads on some of that higher ground on Thursday and into Friday.
24:15So, yeah, that's another area we need to watch. This might show a little bit better.
24:19Yeah. So this is the snow depth potentially building up by Friday across the high parts of Scotland.
24:24Signal there for maybe 20 centimetres over the tops of the hills.
24:28Again, nothing unusual about that in January. But, you know, as that snow falls, as we come in, as the storm approaches and moves in,
24:34we could see those kind of amounts falling on Friday morning, potentially during during rush hour as well.
24:40It really does depend on the timing of that storm.
24:43So, yeah, plenty to talk about. Plenty going on in the outlook as well.
24:50Low pressure system storm AON moves through.
24:54But if we fast forward to I can take those. Take those jet stream winds off.
25:05This is Saturday. So by the time we get to Saturday, storm is moving away up to the to the northwest,
25:13but the jet is still pretty active and it's got one of those little dips in it, a trough,
25:19which is also a breeding ground for low pressure systems. And you can see the the the street, the jet street there is weakening.
25:25So you've got a left exit in here. So the potential for another area of low pressure to develop.
25:30And, yeah, that is something we need to watch this next area of low pressure coming in,
25:34because that is getting pushed along by a jet stream as we go through.
25:39As the UK, there another area of low pressure. Now, this one looks like it's going to intensify further west.
25:45So it won't be as intense, perhaps, but it is something we need to watch again, potentially bringing some strong winds.
25:51And, you know, storm AON may weaken structures, may weaken branches.
25:55So even if it's not as intense, it could still cause some problems and it's likely to bring further rainfall as well.
26:02So in the outlook, we need to keep our eyes on the fact that the jet stream is still lively and likely to spin up further areas of low pressure.
26:09And we could see another active area of low pressure go through Sunday and into Monday as that comes close to the UK.
26:16And again, lots of isobars on the chart, too. So, yeah, plenty to keep our eyes on in the short to medium term.
26:23What about beyond that? Well, I couldn't do my first deep dive since Aiden's new funky new graphics and not use them.
26:32So I thought I'd introduce them again here.
26:35If you haven't seen the explanation of these new graphics that Aiden did,
26:41he did it a few weeks ago in the deep dive with Rob Neal, who developed these,
26:45looking at the different scenarios and the different pressure patterns in the outlook.
26:51This one is basically showing us these dark blue columns here for Friday and Saturday.
26:56Low pressure westerly winds coming in because we're going to see those storm systems coming in.
27:01And you can see the dominant feature for the early part of next week is more of those low pressure systems as well.
27:07And even the the mid blue there is another area of low pressure.
27:14It's kind of that pattern with low. It's just a little further north and more of a southwesterly.
27:19So in all of these patterns, notice how the temperature anomaly is the temperature above average.
27:23Winds generally coming in from the west or the southwest through all of these weather patterns.
27:28And so the temperatures, particularly across the south and the east, likely to remain above average.
27:33So, yes, cold this week. Temperatures pick up for Friday and then likely to stay on the mild side,
27:38although with gusty winds and further low pressures coming in off the Atlantic well into next week.
27:44It's not really until you get to the end of next week that there are some signs of higher pressure building across the south.
27:51But that's only one week signal that isn't, you know, it's not the dominant signal there.
27:57Still, these lows or the blues rather indicating more unsettled westerly types continuing with with the milder air continuing as well.
28:06So it is likely to stay pretty mixed, pretty changeable even beyond this weekend with further spells of wet and windy weather.
28:13But the man himself, Aidan McGiven, will will talk you through all that in the 10 day trend tomorrow.
28:19I am sure that is pretty much it from me, I think, for this week's deep dive.
28:23A couple of things to point out. Climate conversations that will be posted tomorrow evening, Wednesday evening.
28:30So keep your eyes peeled for that on YouTube. I talked a little bit about the warnings here.
28:35Alex Burkill has done a really good evergreen explainer all about our warning system and what that matrix means.
28:42So you can find out much more in that. That will be hopefully dropping this weekend, I think.
28:47So another reason to subscribe to our YouTube channel. Then you won't miss that.
28:51So, yeah, do subscribe. If you could hit the thumbs up, be doing us a massive, massive favor.
28:55Thank you. We know you like this kind of stuff. But again, in the comments, if you've got any suggestions, any changes, any tweaks that you'd like,
29:02let us know what you think about the graphics system as well. We love hearing from you.
29:07You're the reason we kind of do all this stuff. So, yes, please do keep your comments coming in.
29:11And as I said at the start, share the love. Let other people know that we're on here.
29:16Do keep up to date with the forecast. This storm system hasn't developed yet.
29:20It's likely to be shifting around. The warnings will certainly be fine tuned as well.
29:25So do keep up to date with the forecast and those weather warnings to see how you could be infected or you could be impacted as this storm arrives on Friday.
29:34But for now, thanks for watching.
