Very strong winds developing south, east; storm watch late Tuesday

M.T. Cranium · 2014-01-29 03:20:23

There was a thread open until a day ago, extending the discussion of the Monday storm into the prospects for a severe storm late Friday 31st into Saturday 1st February.

How about we hold fire until this time tomorrow and see then whether it warranted a red or not

And if it didn't warrant a red, it'll be considered a good practice run for when it does warrant a red.

Doing more than needed at an instance is *never* a bad thing re: weather preparedness.

Maq do you not think violent storm force 11 deserves a red alert

Looking at the latest EURO4 I see storm force winds touching the exposed southwest coast with violent storm force out at sea. I haven't seen a model showing winds reaching violent storm force on the coast, but Met Eireann have better access to models than we do.

As far as I remember it is not that easy, has to be forwarded to Admins and changed at root. Not like you can edit it when creating thread

That's fair enough, Should maybe be looked into in the future. Sensationalist headlines might put people off the weather forum.

Can we talk about the weather, and not what alert it would be? I just had to sift through 2 pages of arguments on what alert this storm should be..

The alert text is preset and can't be changed - well not tonight anyway!
We can definitely look at this again but for tonight can we get back to talking about the weather

Thanks guys

Huge waves out at sea tomorrow morning, 19m (62ft) significant wave heights. Individual waves would be even higher.

The only good news (I think?) is that the big waves don't seem to be reaching the coast until some hours after tomorrow mornings high tide, so that should reduce some of the risk of coastal flooding.

I don't see how this is level3 alert and it never was. You only have to read Maq's posts to know

OPW have been distributing sandbags in Co. Kerry.

With breeches in sea defences for those in the potentially affected area it is indeed a Level 3 warning.

Did you not see MT's map #

I would say that they were saying if there was a red alert they could have taken precautions against flooding, anyway I cant understand all the bickering that's going on here against posters and alert colors, it would put you off posting anything to do with this storm

Looks like the highest waves would be around 3-6 hours after high tide on that model.

The Weather Channel in the UK took it on themselves to name it that after the saint's day (same ones that came up with 'Saint Judes'). It's not something used by any meteorological agency.

The Institute for Meteorology of the Free University, Berlin have officially named it Nadja

No I don't follow his fc. I find Maq's posts to be most accurate.
I meant level 3 in terms of wind, I don't know what the damage will be in coastal areas so I can't comment on that but that goes back to my original point about the title being misleading as I assumed it was for wind speeds(apparently it's not tho so my mistake). Level 3 coastal event would suffice as a title imo to avoid confusion but whatever I won't discuss it any further

Possible. According to the 2000 M.E. report, it's 0C with a rel humidity of 97% at Newport. That gives a DP of -0.37.
