Yes GMT. Only NOAA charts are Atlantic time.

This storm will have peaked before reaching our shores ...(still windy though) but nothing to be concerned about

Meteorite58 · 19-10-2017 10:17am

IMO just looking through a few charts on the mobile it would seem like yellow warnings on some coastal counties , perhaps touching orange in Kerry on Sat. Squally showers and periods of longer spells of rain.Quite blustery inland at times.

Still need a few more runs to determine exactly.

Gaoth Laidir · 19-10-2017 10:46am

The 00Z ECMWF has it 5 hPa lower than yesterday's 12Z. Force 10-11 winds at 100 metres, Force 8-9 at 10 metres.

00Z run

12Z (yesterday)

Has this been named yet?

Media and their weather bombs.... Come back to us when a 920 low approaches.

The lowest ever pressure recorded over Ireland was 931mb in Limerick in 1838

A 920 low certainly would be unusual.

Storm Checklist
- Is it a hurricane: No
- Is it as bad as Darwin/Debbie/Ophelia: No (if you struggle with the concept of regional impacts then answer Yes)
- Does it have a name: Not officially yet, but if classified as a storm it will be called Brian (quite likely)
- Will it be Red National Warning: No
- Will there be any red warnings: looking likely Orange for South/South West with possible Red Kerry/Cork. Yellow maybe orange elsewhere
- How will they decide which counties are Red/Orange/Yellow: don't ask, it's been a long few days!
- Will my flight leave from Dublin Airport: Yes
- Will my flight leave from Cork Airport: Eventually
- Will it disrupt my power coming back: if not back by Friday then quite likely
- Will it be wet: yes very wet everywhere
- Will there be flooding: much more rain & higher tides than Monday make some flooding a possibility especially in South/Cork
- Will I be able to play my sports on Saturday: if born pre 1990's you'll be grand otherwise heed the warnings but you will be wet
- Will more trees fall than Monday: yes the ground will be much wetter
- Will more trees fall than Monday: no it won't be as windy
- Will more trees fall than Monday: yes trees are weaker than recent storm
- Will more trees fall than Monday: no all the weak ones have fallen
- Do you know what you're talking: haven't a breeze

- Will there be any deaths: banter is great but main point of Met E and these discussions is to inform so accidents are avoided

Apologies if this isn't the forum for this - but what are the likely chances of disruption to flights and ferries this weekend - I'm due to collect a car in the uk, and I have a flight out of cork at 6:30am and a ferry back to dublin at 14:30. reports on this weather seem to vary wildly, so I said I'd put it to the most knowledgeable folks here.

those (what I assume are smileys) arent showing up in my browser, so I cant tell if you're mildly horrified or not. Either way, Irish ferries have no notification on their site.

The website that was linked a few posts back had the tweet from Met E. displayed. But when I went back to it later the tweet had gone from the website.

Orange warning, Brian it is then!

brettmirl · 19-10-2017 1:48pm

Can’t find it on Met Eireann, but they just said ok the TV weather forecast after the news at 1 that the storm has officially been named.

It gets "automatically" (not really, but that's the trigger) named if either Met Eireann or Met Office UK call an Amber/Orange level warning somewhere in Ireland or the UK, which ME just did:

Yeah, as Malayalam points out, 'weather bomb' is actually a legitimately used phrase to describe Explosive Cyclogenesis (or bombogenesis) which is when the centre of a low-pressure system drops by 24mb or more in 24 hours.
