Storm Dave's Quick Retreat: UK Recovers

0:00On April 5th, Storm Dave battered the UK over the weekend, but things calm quicker than expected this Easter Sunday. Yellow weather warnings for Northern England, Scotland and Wales got lifted around 7.30am, way ahead of the midday plan, as the storm pulled away fast. Winds topped out at 93 miles per hour near Capitol Cureg and North Wales overnight, with gusts hitting 75 miles per hour at spots. Like Emily Morn, West Yorkshire and St. B's head in Cumbria, an amber warning had covered those areas until 3am. Travel took hits from fallen trees blocking roads and disrupted ferries on Scotland's west coast. Rail lines saw speed restrictions until 8am. The Humber Bridge reopened after closing to high vehicles and bus replacements ran between. Manchester Piccadilly and Chester. Power networks ramped up cruising gear to handle outage risks from the storm. Those noted winds eased faster across Scotland, Northern England and Wales than forecast.

1:02Flood warnings linger with three in Scotland, one in England and coastal alerts in Wales. Dave clears northeast today, mixing sun and blustery showers, heaviest of north where it'll feel cold, average temps elsewhere. Roads and rails are bouncing back steady. That's the story for today.
