East Coast Weekend Forecast
      #1917422 - 04/07/2008 12:33

Hi all,

By special request for this weekend:

SATURDAY:
SE F5-6 could be a local F7 offshore for a time, then becoming S-SW F4 behind the occluded front which moves north.
Rain tracking north with the front, some heavy, reducing vis to M or P at times. Becoming G behind the front in the afternoon and fair in this zone too.

SUNDAY:
Early SE F3, quickly becoming S-SE F5-F6 then SW F6 through East Anglia. Note I can't rule out winds to F7 later, especially south of The Humber.
Unsettled, especially in the morning, more rain and ehavy showers. Vis M or P in the rain and showers.

More on Weatherweb.TV

Hope that helps,
Simon

Brilliant.... thanks Simon....

I chatted to a friend who is a pilot last week, and also a bit of a PPrune addict....

I gather you are just as active in that environment...

It is very much appreciated.

on that forecast,i will have to very reluctantly pass,my mac 26 is rated at cat c which means im not meant to go out to play after a F6.If it was only moi i wuld not give a toss but,i do not want to scare my wife and daughter.

ive gone and derigged my boat,we have the cooler filled with barbie type grub.

i may still head down to SYA tonight,if the weather is too strong,i may potter up the Orwell.

Matt,

Head down to SYH anyway...

Walton is only just outside Harwich, and you may be surprised at the weather!

If it ends up too much on Sunday to want to go back then there is a slip at Titchmarsh.... i'll give you a lift back to fetch your car....
