Incredibly #BalticFaceoff - between #UKStorm, now pummeling both UK and NW Europe, and #RussiaStorm - is going into the night unresolved with both storms nearly stationary and dumping shed-loads of rain, and another #AfricanPlume is trying to join the party [look at Italy].
These storms are far from harmless:
