    Some very heavy rain now expected on Saturday with embedded thunderstorms possible according to the models especially in southern counties and looking a bit windier now also as the large area of LP comes close to Ireland and drawing up long trailing fronts over the country . Could see yellow or Orange rainfall warnings again in the South, wind is below yellow warning criteria . Remaining unsettled into Sun and Mon with showers or heavy showers and more prolonged spells of rain .

    Have opened a thread to discuss Saturdays very heavy rain and potential flooding.

    The models have moved back from any excessive rain in the two warning counties , along coastal fringes getting the most and even at that not huge.

    Models have been downgrading it for a few runs now moving the heaviest rainfall offshore, perhaps Met Eireann will remove the warnings.

    Warnings have been cancelled!

    Doesn't really help credibility when a situation doesn't happen.

    With the possible exception of a red wind warning, most other warnings now go unnoticed by the public. Too many warnings covering all possible weather eventualities on an almost daily frequency, have rendered them so commonplace as to be largely ineffective and overlooked.

    Crying wolf too many times. Naming mickey mouse storms as if they were the equivalent to US hurricanes FFS

    A chance of lower level wind warnings for the northwest this weekend as a deep area of low pressure tracks to the northwest. It appears, at this stage, that ridging pressure from the continent should steer the system away from a more direct track over Ireland.

    On this evenings run the ECM has the storm a lot closer than the GFS

    At t120 you can see the kink in the isobars to the SW of Ireland

    image.gif

    T144 it has deepened to 965mb off the NW coast. One to keep an eye on

    image.gif image.gif

    The GFS has more of a high pressure influence over Ireland t120

    image.png

    T144 it’s a nasty low 955mb but much farther off shore and ends up tracking past the east coast of Iceland

    I see tides are exceptionally high later in the week. Almost a cause of flooding in its own right!!

    ECM upgrades storm potential for Sunday

    image.gif image.jpeg image.gif


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,162 ✭✭✭adocholiday


    Certainly looking like a named event might be on the cards for Sunday. A lot of the models coming into line now on the 06z run with strong winds mainly for the West on Sunday afternoon but a lot of the country getting into the yellow warning criteria. Following on from @.Donegal. post, the other models have nudged the low closer to us and ECM and UKMO are showing quite a deep system with very tight gradients. If it continues to nudge eastwards then we could be looking at a potent storm. GFS still keeping things a bit further off shore so less impact but the trend is definitely a shift eastwards for now.

    Been watching this storm come and go on the gfs charts for the past 10 days now, certainly something to keep an eye on.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 12,813 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    Looks like something brewing all right, will see if the different model tracks align more, that is a couple of consistent runs now from the ECM and ICON and UKMO has it in another form but as said not the GFS.

    We are due one.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,534 ✭✭✭Dazler97


    Defo one to watch about Saturday night into Sunday for storm potential wonder if models this evening keep up with the storm close to us



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,268 ✭✭✭squarecircles


    the gfs 12z has a totally different outcome, a brief period of windy weather along the west coast, nothing extreme, with strong winds heading into southern England also.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,534 ✭✭✭Dazler97


    Oh right still all over the place then , I think it won't be set in stone till Thursday or Friday



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,162 ✭✭✭adocholiday


    Yeah and GFS gone back westward since the 06z run. Not much change on ECM but the strong winds look more confined to the west. Icon not really any different. This one will change run to run I imagine because it looks to be a fairly complex set up. It will probably take another few days to see any certainty.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,992 ✭✭✭.Donegal.


    ECM still rolling out

    T120

    Gfs is lacking consistency run to run. ECM more consistent and suggests a storm is possible but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be correct but I would favour it over gfs at present.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 12,813 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    Friday fairly breezy to windy / blustery in its own right accompanied with some heavy rain especially along western coastal areas and along the South perhaps. Mild enough in Southerly breezes and cooling down later in the post frontal airmass.

    Huge deep storm with a large wind field from the ECM and UKMO but a lot different and less potent looking on the GFS. ECM's latest run has it tracking a bit further North all right, very strong frontal passage winds overnight into early morning, windy to blustery day and later the W and NW getting a second brush of the strong winds.

    Sundays projected storm off the West coast is just two days after the highest Spring tide of some of the highest tides of the year. Sunday morning high tides 07.10 in Fenit, Co Kerry, 07.36 Galway . Not too much rain over the coming days and spread out but rivers will start flowing more again.

    Could be a bit of extra surge on Fri from the LP and definitely Sunday I would think giving the added risk of coastal overtopping and flooding .

    As stated above, the ECM has upgraded the wind potential for Sunday withn a deep area of low pressure anchored to our northwest. A named storm would be likely if the latest output were to verify. The strongest winds affecting Connacht, West Munster, Ulster and north Leinster.

    As shown on the ECM at present, this storm system and track reminds me of those of the 80s and 90s. Alot of these storms however, do tend to veer further NW closer to the time so it will be interesting to watch.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,413 ✭✭✭JanuarySnowstor


    Doesn't look out of the ordinary to me. Mainly a Northwest event for the moment. However the big news this week are the high tides, excessively so. Paring the 2 together could well cause issues for coastal parts, again more so for the Northwest



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,992 ✭✭✭.Donegal.


    UKV gust of 87mph (140kmh) directly off Donegal NW coast. Up to 100mph at sea

    Scotland may be in an Amber or red warning going by that but yellow warnings for the west for sure



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 12,813 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    Models aligning more for early Sun morning through Sunday for very windy to stormy conditions, ECM quite stormy along Atlantic coastal counties and very strong overland, GFS now on board more resembling the other models. Very wet too. Met Éireanns forecast now more reflecting the emerging picture.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,268 ✭✭✭squarecircles


    Latest ECM has 90 mph + gusts along the west and south west coasts while the latest GFS has a standard windy day that passes through quickly.

    uk Met office said the low would go under explosive cyclogenesis as the low approaches.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,992 ✭✭✭.Donegal.


    UK met office wind warning issued for Sunday

    The latest from 06z ECM.

    Still think it's a Northwest event only
