    No word from Maquiladora at all?

    He usually has both useful and interesting insights on these systems. (Along with others of course.)

    Severe storm out to sea no doubt , some of the Scottish Islands will get some battering. Big gusts overland overnight but clearing away quickly tomorrow morning. Some big readings in coastal stations, possibly some of the highest wind readings this winter ?

    Strange, wind direction for Dublin Airport looks interesting and would expect gusts to 55/60kt for a brief period in the morning.

    The TAF is only giving a temporary gust of 46knots from 230 degrees between 2am-7am.

    Will be interesting to see the 18z runs to see if the storm intensifies as it deepens or if the track is a bit more south. Must be quite close to a Red warning for a few W / NW counties.

    Not by the current TAF as I have said already. Gusts of only 46kt forecast from 230 degrees so shouldn't cause problems.

    2154 update

    Extremely windy tonight as southwest winds increase strong to gale force, with some severe or damaging gusts, especially across coastal counties. Overcast with scattered outbreaks of rain or drizzle at first, but more persistent rain will spread from the west before dawn, with the heaviest of the rain affecting Atlantic counties. Lowest temperatures 5 to 9 degrees Celsius.




    Tomorrow

    A very windy start to Friday with further damaging gusts for a time - overnight rain clearing eastwards early in the morning. A clearance will quickly develop - brightening up even as of early morning in some parts, with bright winter sunshine and scattered blustery showers following for the rest of the day. Whilst the winds will ease a little, staying rather windy for the day, with fresh to strong and gusty westerly winds. Turning colder through the day, with some hail showers occurring in the north and west later. Highest afternoon temperatures 7 to 10 degrees Celsius, best values for southeastern counties.
