Does this look bad this far out?
... .
12z gfs slightly stronger early afternoon, clearly storm force winds sustained. I've a feeling they might underestimate damage for the South, all coinciding with kids left out of school is quite frankly dangerous
Orange warnings being delivered
Whilst us speculators can say what we want
Other decisions impact lives and liveilhoods
I think we can rest assured all crucial stakeholders in ireland knew about Agnes well before it was named
UK Met Office latest vid on AGNES. undergoing explosive cyclogenesis which means it is developing and intensifying very quickly.
UK Metoffice posted an image with the twitter /X account earlier this afternoon, with the expected track and likely expected maximum gusts. Significant parts of UK are looking highly likely to be severely impacted by both significant rain wind gusts. Are you pi$$ed that it was UK Metoffice that issued warning first - instead of Met Eireann ? The Netherlands, UK and Irish met office departments all work together, perhaps it was a differing threshold that was being reviewed for warnings.
Not sure I understand what you mean by saying 'despite it impacting IRELAND more'
Cavan/Monaghan going to get any off this?
Met.ie website gone slow. People checking in after work I guess.
No warnings for them yet.
The obsession with warnings and the colour of them are driving me insane!
I'd say you are RED faced by now
Are you seeing red?
Or blue in the face
Dont look Up
This is gonna be like storm Darwin late warnings when the storms here , but with ev retired the others don't really know what to do
It was a sting jet i think caused all the problems with Darwin. Not sure if any possibility of that here but am sure the experts will outline.
Erah I think most people just want a red warning to get the day off work tomorrow. Don’t think anybody is obsessed, they’d just like a day off!
Orange you glad there's only 3 colours
Tbf lots of work policies are it's grand when yellow or orange but if red don't come in.
You would be moaning if they named it got all the warnings out and then it missed us or was not as bad as forecast.
Just to alert you the meaning of forecast is predict or estimate (a future event or trend). They are guessing so try not to get too excited.
The storm is named so clearly they are using the system. Why should the South and East get all the priority. The West has storms which reached orange/Red levels and they were totally missed. The people in the west go to work and school just like everyone else.
The UK Met Office has a supercomputer for weather modelling, The Irish met office does not so that's maybe why they spotted this first.
Violent storm force 11 off shore on the South Coast seems quite likely now. I am not sure the west will even get a yellow wind warning out of this. However I could be wrong!
No I mean there's gonna be last minute warnings, I have enough knowledge that this is gonna happen , I can feel it
As of now I think Orange wind and rain warnings seem to match whats happening. I would like to know if schools have any plans rather that a last minute message at 8 in the morning.
RYAN AIR Flights tomorrow
Wind yellow for Galway now, they're really clueless.
Chance of embedded thunderstorms? Forecasted on the ME app for here.
In orange warnings it's up to the school of they close in red warnings it's mandatory, slowly the country be covered in all warning colours just watch by tomorrow morning, unless they issue fresh upgraded warnings this evening before people go to bed
I dont think red is likely given the charts I have seen anyway. Think schools will be open judging by what i am seeing on twitter anyway.
Maybe after 7pm? the UKMO, GFS & ECM runs are 7pm this evening apparently
Schools are in an awkward position re orange warnings - Red is a closure sanctioned by the dep - orange isn’t. No school wants to close without clear guidance it causes by far too much fall out for the school particularly if the wrong call is made and it turns out there was no need to close.
Is love tomorrow off, Thurs and Fri too if possible so I'll take all the reds please. 😆
