    Cobh here. Ominous feel to the place tonight. Hatches battened down as best as possible. Will be going to bed at the normal time storm or no storm. Have to be up at 6am for work in Cork.... if there is a road not covered in trees!

    Dunmore East

    Big drops of rain falling and wind starting to pick up. Nothing dramatic yet though. I see MTC says landfall in Cork in about 90 minutes so, we probably won't see much here until around 11pm - midnight?

    Not that extraordinary, these lengths, as you get about six active days of weather a year and I get about two myself, so I need to increase that by casting my net wider. :)

    Generally various comments about rain west, wind east of track are correct but assume the rain will be wind-blown by fairly strong gusts too. The very strong wind zone will be generally clear of rainfall but further inland and east, a combination of moderately strong wind and rain is possible.

    Remember that in these tropical storm hybrids, minor tornadic wind streaks running SSE-NNW are possible. That may impact somebody somewhere or it may happen out of sight and be recognized after the fact tomorrow from a path of downed trees somewhere in south central counties. Watch for any small intense cells on radar later with that sort of motion (would say Waterford, eastern Tipps, Kilkenny, Offaly, south/west Laois possibly)

    You're doing yourself no favours at all here. Ignorance may well be blissful but it's certainly not endearing.

    It's nice to be talking about a storm rather than the incessant Covid stuff.

    If you think isobars and high pressure are convoluted meteorological speak, it's not something i would admit to, most 10 year olds understand these basic terms.

    Fair play to met. They said 21;00 and at 21:03 significant wind. It is starting with gusts now. Tree branches bending, air vent in the house rattling. Wonder how far this will go.

    And as a previous poster said not talking Covid is refreshing.

    I'm in the Burren, I know we might not get hit much here, hopefully not, with strong easterlies the sail's I cut into tree's with are usually to absorb the impact of wind's from the west.
    So anytime we get a storm in Clare it usually won't knock the tree's down that had work on them.

    If this has a big impact in Cork the tree surgeon's will be busy...

    It's quite dark and no wind yet in Clare maybe 1am ?
