At what point does MET Ireland declare a stay at home emergency? When people literally drown?

Was just thinking the same, more areas covered and the dividing lines for sunny etc. Anyone want to brave asking them to go back to that model for their forecasting

Also well presented compared to some of today's bumbling!

My daily post guess what it was pouring rain when I went to work + pouring rain coming home.

It's like Groundhog day over + over again.

Driving conditions on M50 northbound were atrocious this evening. Torrential rain mixed with dense fog + flooding on lanes. Dont know how they wasn't an accident.

Cork County Council


Weather Alert for Coastal Areas


Met Éireann have indicated that the remnants of ex-Tropical Storm, Sebastien, will track to the South coast of Ireland overnight tonight, bringing a risk of heavy rainfall and strong winds especially on coastal areas of the county for a time during the early hours of tomorrow, Tuesday.
Cork County Council have advised that the forecasted heavy rain and easterly winds will coincide with a period of very high astronomical Spring Tides in all coastal areas tomorrow morning, between 4am and 6 am and again tomorrow evening Tuesday 26th and continuing into Wednesday 27th November 2019.
Storm surge levels are currently low in coastal areas but levels are predicted to increase, by .50m in Cork Harbour and in Bantry Bay, from tomorrow morning (Tues) until Wednesday 27th November.
Motorists and pedestrians are advised to take caution in coastal areas.
Cork County Council will continue to monitor surge and sea level forecasts throughout this notice period (from Tuesday 26th to Wednesday 27th November).
Members of the public who wish to report issues/incidents at any time can contact Cork County Council on 021 4276891
Emergency issues ‘outside of business hours’ should be reported to Cork County Council at 021 4800048

Storm looking quite impressive on satellite. Cork could well flood. A lot of the ingredients are there:
High tide - yes
Easterly gale - yes (historically dangerous direction as the previous tide backs up)
Low pressure - yes
Heavy rain - yes
Ground already saturated - yes

Those dividing lines were far less complicated, yet far more useful in giving the viewer essential info than the county by county method used today, in relation to the present day warning system at least. For example, a standard 'yellow warning' gale for the west coast usually has the entire Co.s of Clare, Mayo & Galway included, yet Co. Roscommon left out, which makes no sense giving that the most eastern parts of Galway are just as much east and sheltered as much as Roscommon is, with SE'rn parts of the country being closer to Co. Loais in the S. Midlands than they are to any part of the west coast. Yet the whole country is just thrown under such a warning anyway. Makes zero sense.

That is sensible by Met Eireann putting out an advisory like that below. We might be seeing more of these from now on especially when it is mainly just effecting along coastal areas. Saying generally sub-warning level so probably just tipping yellow warning level criteria for wind on coastal fringes / headlands and same for rainfall probably just below yellow warning level in a few spots.

ADVISORIES





Weather Advisory for Wexford, Cork and Waterford
A combination of high tides, together with appreciable, but generally sub-warning levels of wind and rain, will produce localised impacts along the south coast during Tuesday.

Valid: Tuesday 26 November 2019 03:00 to Tuesday 26 November 2019 20:00

Issued: Monday 25 November 2019 19:00

ICON 18Z a bit stronger again. The center of the Low more or less the same track and timing to the ECM. Will see what the other models show later.

ICON can over do the high wind readings a bit.

JanuarySnowstor

Deeper and a nudge East on the 18z gfs.
I'm not convinced this is a minor event for Cork/Kerry
It has potential!!

Heavy stuff starting to appear on netweather radar off the south west coast
