Heavy Rain & Continuing Flood Risk - Saturday Dec 12th, 2015
-
09-12-2015 2:15pm#1This is looking quite bad for areas where flooding has already been an issue, especially in the southern half of the country, and where water tables are full.
Both Saturday and Sunday see heavy persistent pulses of rain push up across the southern half of the country in particular as a warm front stalls over the country.
This is already being flagged in southern parts of the UK too.
Take note. More later.11

Too early to call anything yet.
Press Release – River Shannon in the Athlone Area
Westmeath County Council
2:30pm Wednesday 9th December 2015
Water levels in the River Shannon are continuing to rise slowly and are being monitored by Westmeath County Council. Over the last 24 hours, water levels increased by approximately 70mm and to date, no houses have been flooded.
The Council is now in receipt of an updated ESB forecast of river levels for the next five days and that forecast is that water levels will reach 39.60mOD by Monday 14th of December 2015. It should be noted that this represents an increase of 390mm above current levels and would be close to the maximum level recorded in 2009.
Westmeath County Council has activated its Flood Emergency Response Plan and a meeting of the interagency Response Committee is held each day at 11am. At today’s meeting, chaired by Westmeath County Council and attended by representatives of An Garda Siochána, Irish Water, the Defence Forces and the HSE, it was agreed that the agencies would continue to assist people to protect their homes and businesses, to provide transport where this is required and to provide other humanitarian assistance.
A further update will issue after the meeting of the coordination committee tomorrow morning.0 -
12Z GFS wants to put the south of the country under water. This would be major, widespread flooding. Of course the changes from run to run mean nothing is nailed down and a modest shift southwards would keep these fronts off shore. But this is what the 12Z GFS is showing.
This is considerably more than what the same model showed for rain totals from Desmond last weekend.

ECM at 72 hours looks almost identical to the GFS at 66 hours.
The rain may enter slightly further north on the ECM but other than that I think that initial phase of heavy rain at least is nailed now.
But by 96 hours....differences.0 -

If the high ground in the southern half of the country got that as snow...I could open a ski resort. They say midlands, north and west, maybe from north Kilkenny, Tipperary northwards for snow?
Though if there was heavy snow it would be even worse if it stayed on high ground and melted with heavy rain to make floods worse.
There will be a big temperature difference. Very mild, moist air in the south running into colder air further north. No snow in the south with these double digit figures!

As Maq said, ECM has the heaviest of the rain moving more into Connacht on Saturday, but can't say I am convinced about this solution, mainly because the GFS, having not only picked up on this potential before the ECM did, has also been more consistent with rainfall distribution from this feature.
