     Now that I have the correct URLs for GFS, I can see that TS Gonzalo has 
been assimilated into the southeren edge of a strong low-pressure system 
presently over Iceland:

     In 12 hiurs it will be over Ireland and the Irish Sea:

     In 24 hours it will affect all of Britain as well as far northern France

     And in 48 hours all of Central Europe and the Adriatic Sea:
