Storm Angus (No effect on Ireland)

Storm Angus as of 0100h is located just south of Plymouth with a central pressure near 970 mb. Peak wind gusts in Brittany (westerly) appear to be 120 km/hr and at Portland (Dorset) 100 km/hr from the south.

The only effects on Ireland have been the outer bands of light sleety rain during the early overnight hours, followed by isolated streamers coming in from the Irish Sea. There may be some locally heavy snowfalls on east-facing slopes in Wicklow and north Wexford as a result, although not expecting anything very widespread with the small size of the streamers.

Track will now be east-north-east through southern England, heavy snow could develop late tonight and through the morning in higher parts of Wales, the Cotswolds and Pennines. It will be about 4-7 C at lower elevations where the precip will be sleet or rain.

I will report any strong wind gusts that develop as it moves forward.

By 0600h extreme winds had moved into eastern Channel, gusts to 155 km/hr at the Greenwich Light Ship south of Brighton, squall line on radar through eastern Kent. Expecting reports of moderate to severe wind damage in Sussex and Kent this morning. Low centre has moved inland to a position just southwest of London Heathrow airport, heading across north London towards east Anglia. Strongest winds likely to be confined to coast and South Downs.
