Its a double whammy weekend- 21st-22nd April- Warsash Spring Championships

The first of the Warsash Spring Championships this weekend with things kicking off tomorrow in a gentle to moderate WNW airflow. Last week proved to be stronger winds than forecast in association with some fairly large cumulus clouds and this week we could see the same.

SYNOPTIC SITUATION
The heavy showers and rumbles of thunder experienced overnight and early this morning are slowly disappearing as a moderate WNW builds, but as temperature scrabble towards double figures again expect further showers and possible rumbles of thunder.
A gentle to moderate WNW backing WSW airflow is expect to cover the area

Air temperature: 09-11 Celsius

Weather: partly cloudy with showers clearing SE. Large cumulus developing turning to moderate showers late afternoon

KEY POINTS
- gradient driven with cloud features being key
- could see wind up to 28-30 KT after 1400-1500
- max right likely 300-310 with showers in the afternoon
