Atlantic Storm Watch: December 2013

Iancar29

A substantial upgrade on this mornings 06z in terms of tightening of isobars off the West coast merits a level 2 warning in my opinion.

Whats giving rise to this stormy spell is the low pressure making its way East across the atlantic is getting squashed by the strong high pressure over europe .

Winds will start picking up in the Kerry, Clare regions from sunrise saturday morning and increase right up to midday as the low centre move NNE .

Winds of up to 95kph and severe Gusts of 125 , perhaps 130kmh are possible on exposed coast in the west , Galway possibly taking the brunt of this storm.

The severe gusts then will be more concentrated in the NW but still high winds country wide with gusts to 95kmh .

Due to the Northerly component of these winds , western areas might not get anything out of the norm for them but still something to watch for. High winds in areas of the wicklow mountains would be noticeable in S Dublin especially .

PIty i will be working all day saturday and wont get to be out to enjoy it

All eyes on the 12z to see if it keeps things in line with the 6z.

There seem to be power outages countrywide now, certain pockets hit.

Was in Clifden early afternoon, there was torrential rain but not much wind. In half an hour according to the car (I know) it went from 11 degrees to 6. Now there is high winds and either a long heavy shower or the start of the rain.

Pretty interesting episode here in newbridge. Extremely heavy rain & Hail, crazy wind alarms going off and heard there is roof damage to Dunnes Stores with water leaking onto the shop floor.:eek:

The wind should be continuing to rise quickly along the Clare/Galway coast now.

Didn't get much pictures in Strandhill, wasn't too bad when there as it's gone quite calm in Sligo.

You can see where the swathe of high winds is just approaching southwest Galway, it is within that area where the wind is at its strongest.

I have outlined it in red box.

Constantly heavy squally rain here now in west dublin and winds picking up a bit now.It s a good deal stormier than I thought it would be

Latest Met Eireann report no longer using the word 'stormy'. Another damp squib guys.

paulb06

In Blanchardstown and have got a really serious gust, strongest I've seen in a very long time accompanied by heavy rain. Careful out there!

ureds

Beginning to get windy now in West Mayo.

Supercell

Wind seems to be veering more southerly now from SE as speed is dying down so Wicklow mountains are sheltering here. Suspect winds in southern Dublin may calm down a bit for a while.

There's a really good page on Facebook called The Donegal Weather Channel which always has lots of real time updates and lots of photos too, worth having a look.
