Thursday 11th - Wet and Windy

Iancar29 · 08-10-2012 02:08PM #1

Latest charts showing a day of rain and winds moving east across the country as a cut off low begins to take place to our East .

Showers at first in the west turning more persistent with heavier bursts at times in the East according the GFS , windy at times also.

GFS Ensembles showing some pretty large amounts possible but atm i'd go for about 20-25mms in the 12hr period, which could cause some minor problems in areas but nothing too serious as of yet .

Shall be one to watch!

met.ie all very relaxed....

Rain then will become widespread early on Wednesday night, with some heavy falls occurring locally. After a wet start to Thursday, rain will clear east by afternoon and the rest of the day will be mainly dry and bright, though feeling cool in fresh, westerly breezes. On Thursday night, winds will back southwesterly and showers will appear in western counties.

It will be interesting to see how much wind we get. This morning the amount of leaves that had fallen since yesterday. I spend Sunday clearing them and over last night there must of been some wind as all my hard work is now gone.

Much wetter forecast from ME on the radio at 0755 this morning than is written/given on the ME website.

Cantona's Collars · 09-10-2012 06:57PM

Forecast for some heavy rain on the RTE News forecast this evening.Wednesday night/Thursday looks to be a washout.

maquiladora · 09-10-2012 07:04PM

Loads of horrible, miserable rain and winds not strong enough to make it interesting. I hate this type of weather. :P

StormGazer.11 · 09-10-2012 09:30PM

A decent storm would be nice to keep things interesting until later in the month.

I'm not a huge fan of wind events, but some form of adverse/extreme weather no matter what form would at least give us all something to follow and provide a break form the LRF guessing

Latest from Icelandic Met Office:

System doesn't really going until it hits the UK but that wave feature clipping the SE is still worth keeping an eye on anyways.

kingshankly · 10-10-2012 01:01AM

Easily knowing there's little happening with the weather if this Thursday gets its own thread!!!

Wicklow Weather · 10-10-2012 11:28AM

Latest GFS giving up to 40mm for Wexford Wicklow area from approx Midnight tonight to tomorrow evening.

Iancar29 · 10-10-2012 12:37PM

Heres the latest from the NMM agreeing with the GFS, roughly 40mm possible in the south east but also heavy bursts in a line from Cork to Louth

Could a mod please change the thread title to Wednesday Night into Thursday please?

Hmmmmm, I need a bigger gauge .....

Iancar29 · 10-10-2012 02:21PM

One to keep an eye on too for Next week!! :eek:

maquiladora · 10-10-2012 03:33PM

Tomorrow doesn't look like anything too interesting really.

Thanks to the upcoming changes in the weather pattern we could on the receiving end of some lows in the near future, maybe intense ones. So at least I think we are looking at a period of wet and windy weather coming up, with the potential for some very wet/very windy days.

Sure you'd be a fool not to cover yourself when its wet and windy. Could get pneumonia.

Sponge Bob · 10-10-2012 04:53PM

Good warning, lots of drains will be blocked by leaves and will not be able to handle a persistent 25mm they normally could handle.

Oscar Bravo · 11-10-2012 12:09AM

A 2348 update from Met Eireann....Rain will become widespread and heavy overnight with possibly some thundery downpours in places, with a risk of some spot flooding in eastern areas before dawn. Mist and fog in many places also. Lowest temperatures 9 to 11 C.

Birdnuts · 11-10-2012 12:09AM

The rainfall potential of this event appears to have been signficantly upgraded based on the lastest GFS and MetO fax charts!!

pauldry · 11-10-2012 12:52AM

Think the aftermath of the rain will be quite chilly. Though Met Eireann say 12 to 14c.

notnumber · 11-10-2012 01:34AM

No wind....or rain here this morning.

gbee · 11-10-2012 07:52AM

My 25mm manual rain gauge is over full, my WS says we got 22mm

tylercollins · 11-10-2012 08:08AM

Pretty much lashing here this morning for the last 30 minutes! No wind though, and showing 11c.

dexter647 · 11-10-2012 08:11AM

Very heavy rain for the last few hrs here in south west laois this morning... Recorded over 22mm so far

Sponge Bob · 11-10-2012 08:17AM

Cork airport managed 24mm or so between 1am and 7am ( midnight and 06z)

Iancar29 · 11-10-2012 08:56AM

Looks like the models had this more to the east than it actually is ... i expect "impact" here in roughly t -60 minutes ... :pac:

Sponge Bob · 11-10-2012 09:11AM

Frankly Wexford looks like getting away Scot free from this one ( and Donegal more or less) and it may only be a fringe event in Dublin. Cork/Kerry up to the Midlands is the main soak pit.

There has been no wind of any note in the west either.

Thursday 11th - Wet and Windy
