Storm Brian : Orange Wind Warning Sat 21 -10-17

    Didn't want to post this in either of the Ophelia threads given how serious the situation is and the need to focus on current conditions, but the ECM has picked up on a currently developing tropical cyclone off the US coast, currently designated as Invest 92-L, which it develops into a system with hurricane force winds and then takes straight into Ireland:

    Animated loop of the ECM from 48H onwards:

    What do people make of this? This is more of a "classic" post tropical storm in that it will traverse the Atlantic from the American coast, around the circulation of the Azores high and then approach us - assuming it does develop, which is not yet a given, what kinds of impacts do people see from this?

    This looks like another storm similar to todays... :eek:

    Funny how 50 kt was halfway mark on the scale yesterday, now it's at the top.
    Scary to think we'd get two in a week. There is surely no way a post-tropical transiting the North Atlantic could come anywhere near what we've just experienced.

    The water temperatures are significantly above average which could allow it to keep much of its strength as it crosses the atlantic

    Surely can't be that unlucky again! Usually these storms miss us to the north west?

    This far out, absolutely not. It's not even a certainty to develop a closed circulation before the wind shear rips it apart - NHC give it a 40% chance. One to watch, but not one to panic about just yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,597 ✭✭✭✭Akrasia


    Those models show it zipping across the atlantic at ludicrous speed

    Must be averaging 30kts the whole way

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,234 ✭✭✭sdanseo


    No such thing as a certainty with the weather. There was a 180km/h wind indication 24hrs ago for where I am - honestly I'd be surprised if we got 120.

    The fact that there's consensus between a few different models shows "something is up". Not possible to be any more definitive than that 120hrs out.

    Most definitely it will hit, somewhere, where eh who knows.

    the weather can change at any given time.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,292 ✭✭✭Pwindedd


    Okay I'm going entirely from memory now but in the great storm ( I was in SE england 87') I'm sure i remember about a few days or week later we got another storm - first one was at night and massive power cuts etc, but second one was during day and we were all in school when the windows started smashing and we were sent home. I'm merely suggesting that when the conditions are right maybe these conditions repeat themselves for a short while - like a mini-season over a week or so

    It hasn't formed yet, its more likely to dissipate and get swallowed up by another weather system


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,963 ✭✭✭Chris_5339762


    Thats interesting that they are predicting a second, almost identical looking storm. But the funny thing is they progress completely differently across the Atlantic.

    These ones usually (in my experience) head a bit further north with each model run and I think I would prefer that than the current runs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,893 ✭✭✭allthedoyles


    yr.no have us down for heavy rain Friday evening / Saturday morning in the SE.
    Supposed to bit breezy too , but hopefully not gale.

    Too far out yet to know but travel buses should still be running so you should be ok for your day trip .

    If it's too far out to know, how do you know buses should be running? What winds are expected if it goes to forecast?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,666 ✭✭✭✭sryanbruen


    Going by the current synoptics, I'd say something along the lines of 50-60mph but not ruling out 70mph. It could all change as posters have highlighted however.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,023 ✭✭✭Donegal Storm


    Pretty good consensus across the models that it will form and will head towards us, no real agreement on track and intensity though

    Already in view on the hi res Arpege model which did a pretty good job of todays event, not as strong and well to the south but it'll be worth a watch over the next few days

    Anyway, getting off topic here.

    Although, with this from Windy.com and the ECMWF, I'd expect stronger winds than what I said above:

    I'm not in any way angry, however there's not much point in telling someone buses are okay when your original point says you've no idea yet!

    No anger intended.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,184 ✭✭✭Elmer Blooker


    It would wise to keep an eye on the tides as there is a new moon towards the weekend.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,544 ✭✭✭Samaris


    Doubt there's much point even thinking about this storm system for another couple of days. Something might come of it, but it's less than 50:50 at the moment, and even if it does and -if- it comes at us, there'll be no predicting its track with any accuracy for a while yet.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,597 ✭✭✭✭Akrasia


    This is Fantasy Island territory here guys. If the system is still viable this time tomorrow, we might have something to work with.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,228 ✭✭✭✭JCX BXC


    Large chance of this doing anything that will cause it to miss Ireland, however I'd like to point out that Ophelia was flagged from this many days out!

    Hopefully Ophelia will have caused any damage that was possible, and even if this storm arrives damage will be minimal. Joanna may be getting overtime again soon though!

    Yep, I was about to say that. I had huge doubts in Ophelia and said for it to be typical Autumn weather but I was wrong.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,544 ✭✭✭Samaris


    Actually, if you are on the site on that image at the top and you hover over the marker, it does comment "Conditions are expected to become unfavourable for further development by Wednesday, when the disturbance merges with a frontal system over the western Atlantic".

    Mind you, met.ie at 5days out is showing a storm.

    It is still five days out so too early to know for definite yet but odds are that buses will be running .Not sure what the rest of your post means but keep an eye on this thread for more info .

    Here's how Joanna signed off the forecast after the Nine O'Clock News.

    "That's it for now, we'll worry about the rest of the weekend after we get through this."
