From accu weather :

Abigail, the first official named storm by the Met Office, will bring wind, rain and travel delays to parts of Ireland and the United Kingdom from Thursday int Foriday.
Ahead of this storm, there will be gusty showers across Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and northern England on Wednesday before a brief period of dry weather arrives Wednesday night.
Even with showers in the forecast, abnormal warmth will continue across Ireland, England and Wales with high temperatures ranging from 12-16 C (53-60 F) and low temperatures of 7-11 C (44-52 F).


On Thursday, Abigail will track just north and west of Ireland and Scotland unleashing a soaking rain and howling winds on the region from late morning through the afternoon.
The heaviest rainfall and strongest winds will be focused from northern Ireland through Scotland. Wind gusts over 85 km/h (50 mph) are expected in these areas with wind gusts of 95-115 km/h (60-70 mph) possible over northern and western Scotland, as well as Orkney and Shetland. Exposed areas could experience even higher wind gusts during the worst of the storm.

None left to get rid of where I am in mayo

They are still here though. Dropping a leaf at a time after a spate of them down last week. Just can't wait to see the back of em.

And when it's wet, OMG, slip sliding away!

Mayo and the West seems to get the brunt of any big winds. Hope ye'll be alright during the Winter.

A southerly wind gusting 49kts will be fairly damaging to its operations!

Snow pellets? Sounds fun!

More difficulty in landing than getting out, as cross-wind issues.

Some mod, perhaps low level severe turbulence around Ireland tomorrow, the earlier you get out the better. If your out by midday you should just experience some mod turbulence, but during the afternoon there is the increased chance you could meet something more severe.

After the 18Z HIRLAM, downgrade is also evident on the 18Z ARPEGE.

Excuse my ignorance, but whats RACY?

maquiladora

Max gusts got downgraded further on the latest ARPEGE. If this is correct then it should be just a regular Yellow warning for here. Quite stormy up around northwest Scotland still though.

Refers to a rapid depression where the pressure falls 24mb in 24hrs. Not sure it applies in Abigail's case though?
