At the moment, the Isle of Man looks set to miss the much-heralded extreme weather at the end of the weekend.
A vigorous low pressure is expected to track across Wales and England bringing heavy rain and storm force winds on Sunday night and Monday.
Dave Boultbee says we will see stronger winds during Sunday with possible gales.
And current models show we should escape the worst of the conditions thereafter - but he adds confidence this far out is only moderate:-
