⚠️ Storm Éowyn - Fri 24.01.25 (Please read Mod Instruction in OP.)

Meteorite58

⚠️Enough model consensus at this stage to warrant a thread for Storm potential to impact parts of Ireland on Fri from early morning. Uncertainty yet with track and strength but the models have been showing very strong to stormy conditions sweeping into Ireland from a very deep system with very tight gradient and large powerful wind field, GFS down to 933hPa and others around 942hPa having rapidly deepened on approach been driven by an extremely fast jet. sdanseo has a great post on the charts thread that they might post here about the models possibly being powered up a bit too much from the Jet readings, interesting and will see if it moderates over the coming days. As it stands it would have a big impact on power supplies and damage caused to properties but only as it currently shows. This could moderate and the track could change more off the NW but cant be ignored either so needing a close watch.

ECM and GFS remarkably close this far out.

It’s actually not too bad here in Meath since the Red kicked in. Hopefully that’s it

Lol, I thought the exact same thing, sounds like there's large planes coming in or out, but it's a constant noise.

Unreal now in D12, ME bang on with the red warnings, despite a noisy minority of whingebags

I'm looking forward to going back to highlight the fools who commented yesterday to say there would be little damage, and that we were making a mountain out of a molehill.

I genuinely feel sorry for the millions out there who will no doubt have suffered severe property damage.

Power gone. Meath.

Still very windy here in Clare. Up most of the night with it. Quick glance outside with torch and can't see slates on the ground. Still have power which is surprising, as I'm out of town. Other side of the village is out.

More importantly, my wife didn't go into labor in the middle of it, which was a major worry yesterday.

Relentless here in north clare, never let up all night, I'm well sheltered and never affected by storms but this one was one of a kind and still going

Jesus I hope it's not as bad as you think it is.

Calmed significantly here on Laois Offaly border

Had a normal nights sleep here in Sligo town, when I woke through the night I could hear wind howling but "off in the distance". First gust of wind that rattled the air vents that I heard knocked off the power at 540am.

Getting up to Daragh levels of gusts as I type this. Glad I bought camping supplies just as Daragh died down so I can make coffee, these storms will become more common.

Pretty sure my solar panels are gone. Loud thuds on roof. Car smashed up roof tiles. And red warning hasnt even started. Wicklow.

No. Red warning only came into effect 40 minutes ago.

jkforde

Whehey!

Has the wind peaked in the east?

Dazler97

I hate sensationalist headlines

Clare/Limerick border back to the consistent gusts from a few hours ago. Absolutely relentless at the minute. Thought we might have been on the wind-down by now

Ya thinking they don't own much in the way of property or have a lot of creeky sheds and garden gazebo and Polly tunnel and kids play houses like myself still lying in bed here trying to build up the courage to have a look out side.
