***Storm Boelo***
#StormBoelo has slightly weakened and will continue to travel eastward, with landfall in Norway expected tonight, and it should dissipate before tomorrow noontime. During this period, Scotland will continue to see intense gusts of 60~70kt at coasts, and up to 80kt over mountain peaks, while Norway will experience widespread gusts of 40kt and maxima between 60kt and 80kt (the latter value suggested by ICON which seems aggresive for most gusts and rainfall forecasts). Various Amber/Orange warnings are in place or will be in place shortly in almost all of the North Sea countries. It is strongly advised that residents in these countries to follow further instructions from national or local weather services.

Off the west coast of Scotland: A developing low in the mid-Atlantic will approach Faroe Islands through tomorrow night, and will bring some additional strong winds to northwestern Scotland. Model forecasts has shifted the track away from Scotland in more recent runs though, so the most likely scenario will be a widespread 50~60kt gust with local maxima 70~75kt. The met office has issued a yellow wind warning, and it is uncertain whether it will be upgraded to an amber warning based on the forecasted numbers above. The system has a 50% chance of being named by the Western Group in the next 0-5 days.

Over Greece and the Aegean Sea: Models has now reached an agreement on the maximum 24h rainfall brought by a Genoa Low in this region from Monday to Tuesday, in the range between 100 and 150mm. While actual rainfall can be slightly higher, it is very unlikely that the impacts are sufficient to support it to be named. The system has a 10% chance of being named by the Eastern Mediterranean Group in the next 0-5 days.
