    I'll be keeping an eye on forecast. Our mother lives on the coast in SW Donegal. Very exposed spot. We usually bring her up to my place or one of the sisters places during severe winds. But she hates the fuss and always downplays such storms and accuses me of hype and daftness.

    This room is unusually quiet so I'm thinking that folks in here aren't convinced that this storm is going to be so bad. I'll keep an eye on it throughout the day and see what Met Eireann are saying this afternoon.

    The coronavirus thread is very very active so maybe that is where folk are at?

    That, or on the corona virus thread (737 people in there at the moment)! :p

    That should keep the pressure off the weather forum/keep some of the riff raff out!

    I reckon people are getting used to these storms on a weekly basis and weather warning+wind fatigue is definitely setting in.

    If anything the rain and flooding as well as the corona virus is much more of a concern this winter, compared to the wind. Having said that this weekend is definitely up there with all the recent storms for wind strength.

    Once this storm system passes we may be turning a corner on this prolonged unsettled spell. March is trending dryer and milder with each run, particularly from the middle of week 2 onwards.

    Forecaster Evelyn Cusack says western coastal areas will also be facing status red conditions.
    It’s understood Met Eireann will be issuing a red marine warning for Galway and the west coast later Friday.

    Ground is still very saturated and flooded in north kildare anyways. Could do without any more precipitation of any kind tbh

    Is there a chance this could be upgraded to red for coastal counties?
    Living fairly exposed in West Mayo especially to SW winds.

    Would you not adhere to the marine warming living on the coast?

    Forgot Kerry:

    "I would say if the current model trend continues and there is no last-minute downgrade, a red alert is quite likely for at least Mayo, Galway, Clare and Kerry."

    Probability forecast for wind gusts of 64 knots or more for 3pm tomorra. (based on latest ECM output)

    Below 50% in most places away from exposed coasts.

    Yes; it says coastal waters so marine warning applies to extreme coasts. Already at red. :eek:

    Latest FMI-HIRLAM run is a bit of a change it seems. After clipping off the Kerry coast, the main belt of winds is off the south coast. Centre further south too.

    Depends where you live; never once a wrong warning here.

    Why is there a difference between the Dutch & Finnish HIRLAM output? FMI is sending the centre over Mayo. Dutch keeps it further north.

    At this stage now it would be wise for Met Eireann to view the 12s and then update the warnings this evening.

    Windy throughout the day tomorrow but peaking roughly during the mid to late afternoon period.

    Just scanning through the latest Hi Res models on the phone and it looks like North Kerry, Clare and possibly W Galway very much fitting Red warning criteria for a time Sat. To me County Clare is the hot spot atm, 130 to 140 km/h winds pushing inland there for a time. This is still evolving more changes yet to come I reckon.
    More counties will probably come into Orange warning for a time.
