Renewed rain and strong winds for west on Monday 7th (onset tonight)

    Heads up, after a break today with an interval of dry weather and relatively light winds, another storm approaches from the southwest tonight and spreads rain back across western counties with potential for 20-30 mm. Normally this would be a level one rainfall event but with the ongoing widespread flooding and high water tables, whatever improvement today might bring (and in such a short time, not that much) will be held back by this renewed rainfall. Eastern regions will see more like 10-20 mm.

    Wind this time will come from the south (or SSE) and south Kerry, west Cork coastal regions may see the strongest gusts to about 120 km/hr. It will become generally windy elsewhere too, more like a level one alert for many other areas, but certainly level two in some parts of west Munster.

    I thought we should probably have just the one thread for this storm so hopefully the Met-E warning levels will be equal for rain and wind to avoid problems. As I say, it's partly the context of recent events that makes this a level two event, if it came in isolation it might be more of a level one.

    Have away ... while I started this, I may not be around for quite a few hours and I hope some of the regulars will put a little meat on the bone provided here.

    It does look windy for a period on Monday, up to around Force 9 on southwest and west coasts.

    Rainfall amounts don't appear to be significant, up to 20-30mm in the west/southwest over the next 48 hours. Though there will be more rain on the way during the week

    It looks like that we will have Storm Eva this week. If it is not tomorrow it would be likely on Wednesday. Hopefully it will be a long while before Frank will be around.

    Would be surprised if it was tomorrow. Winds look to be below the Orange warning level at all times and the rainfall is probably not enough for a Yellow warning level.

    Wednesday has the potential to be more interesting but it's uncertain at this stage.

    HIRLAM with a cheeky little low on Tuesday, could bring a brief burst of strong winds to a small area.

    I'd say that nursing home beside the Moy in Foxford is very close to flooding.
    I'm off tomorrow so might take a trip down that way to see what its like.

    I was down there around the woollen mills shooting as well. The road down to the nursing home was closed off. Even part of the car park at the new center across from the mill was flooded too.

    I grew up in Foxford and remember a few occasions when the football pitch was flooded, completely closing off that whole area.
    It was madness building a nursing home in that location, even if it escapes flooding they will experience huge delays if they require emergency services as the other access road will no doubt be inaccessible.

    I think I remember now. The warning was set to expire tonight. I guess it was a typo and the warnings probably automatically get removed on the expiry time.

    I hope so that frank be way off yet, it could be gone to way down the list before we know it! :( Not expecting Storm Eva till next weekend based on Met Eireann's weather forecast but wouldn't be surprised if she land before the week is out! Wednesday likely wet day and tomorrow well its meant to rain heavily tonight again! :mad:

    I've travel plans in the coming weeks and I just hope it won't snow...could put up with rain but windy storms...can it wait till after new year!! arragh!

    The amount of storms in the space of a few weeks its crazy, the flooding making it all worse! Reminds me of 2009! Worst ever experience! :eek:

    I read about "Storm Desmond" on this forum 3-4 days before it was even named a storm by met eireann thanks to a thread started by MT Cranium. Because of that I sorted a few things around the house that saved me and my family a lot of distress.

    That man is a boards.ie legend and I owe him a debt of gratitude.

    Winds won't be any stronger than they are now. Rain should start to get heavier later though, but not too much either.

    You cant see in that but there is already a sizeable pool of water there on the road beside the ridgepool village apartments - matter of time before its flooded completely.

    The cathedral road is i'd say like 3 inches from bursting.
