although it severly weakens Sunday's low, which is interesting possibly a change to slightly cooler conditions after that

I just received this mail:

Looks like it is going to get rough.

Mod's I was going to put this in the other thread but thought it deserved its own, apologies if I'm wrong.

Snowbie

As its relevant to another earlier thread,no need to start it own thread.
Changed thread title to accomodate the warning.

Stormy conditions will spread to all areas later tonight and into tomorrow with gusts reaching 80mph in western coastal areas. Widespread gusts of 60mph elsewhere...

Supercell

All calm here so far, not convinced this is going to be much on the eastern seaboard yet.

Trogdor

It's reletively calm everywhere now. The wind forecast for Dublin on xweather is for winds stronger than the Southern and Northern coasts and the only place with higher winds are coastal parts of the west of Ireland and Scotland. The current forecast(right of the picture) gives a mean speed of 45mph for Dublin. I don't really know how this one will turn out but it's certainly forecast to be bad
