Hope ya have toll money to get back to the west - and ya better run like feck if you dump achill in dublin bay - they'll get you for littering.

Well it's looking like this;

From now until around 4am a strong set of gales will cross the country associated with a rainband which may fall as sleet or even snow if you have elevation on your side (above 200m). the gales will be worst slong the east coast around 2am with mean winds of 50mph gusting to 70mph at times.

The winds will then ease in most places from aroudn 4am, but still breezy.

The center of the storm will then move over the country, which is lucky for us as the winds on its southern edge are extreme (hurricane force), these severe winds may clip along the southern coast line, Kerry, Cork look in the firing line for these with gusts possibly reach 90mph along the far south coast.

Wednesday morning looks like there could be a really wind storm across more northern areas with Dublin set to be affected this could give 80mph winds.

Here's a picture of the beast approaching Ireland, luckily it seems we will escape its' worst.

Calm before the storm my friend. Ever hear that expression

You are in Waterford so the east coast will be hit last. How are the posters on the West coast doing? Do they still have electricity?
