Just so I understand for future reference, is there's a guide as to what's allowed as a new thread or is it the Moderators call?

Is there risk of storm surge and heavy rain flooding?

I reckon possibility of some trees / electricity poles down in areas effected. Land is supersatuated and where hit by high gusts - it wont take much to take same down.

Belting down in d2 again as im about to cycle home. This is getting ridiculous.

Old RTE weather forecast from October 1991 (starts at around 1 min into the vid)

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

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

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.

ME yellow weather warning posted twice to be sure to be sure

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

Brutal out there.

Agreed - rain stopped here (near Riverstick Co Cork) earlier but the wind is strong, very turbulent day.

Terrible day in Galway with rain easing now but very dark
