EUROPEAN WINDSTORM (EW) BARNABAS DISCUSSION NUMBER 10
KIEWII-COBRASTRIKE GACC DUNDEE UK
1500 UTC SUN 8 JULY 2012

...THE CENTER OF THE STORM CANNOT BE SEEN ON INFARED IMAGERY NOR VISIBLE. DUE
TO THIS...AS WELL AS MARINE REPORTS...THE INITIAL INTENSITY FOR BARNABAS IS
DOWNED TO 25 KT. IF SATELLITE REPRESENTATION GETS ANY WORSE...THE SYSTEM WILL
BE A POST-WINDSTORM...

...WIND AND A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN ARE THE IMPACTS FROM THIS SYSTEM...

...MOST MODELS NOW TAKE BARNABAS OVER SCANDINAVIA ONCE AGAIN...BUT I HAVE
DECIDED TO MAKE THE STORM DISSIPATE OVER THE FAR EASTERN NORTH SEA...
