Tory (not that) Good has told me that this weather system is going to
"grind to a halt" this afternoon. Can somebody give me a vague time
that this will happen so that I can go outside, look up to the sky,
and listen for these grinding noises?

      The phrase was used by McElwee on R4 lunchtime and it's not a
bad description of the general synopsis for the next few days.  Having
ground to a halt the weather may even start going backwards, so to
speak.  What's the problem?
