    Last few runs showing another strong storm to slide by the NW of the country Wednesday afternoon into evening time. Some heavy showers passing through too it will only add to flooding problems in areas.

    10m Winds showing easily a yellow warning for the whole country , orange and potentially red for the Atlantic coastal counties.

    More rain when its certainly not needed.

    Still time for it to go either way but best have people aware IMO.

    Also, High tide along the west coast around 4pm Wednesday.

    How does this look inland? Highest winds reserved for coastal areas(as usual) or will they push well inland like Clodagh?

    This is a usual one. Strongest on the west coast.

    Slight downgrade on the 06z GFS , still possible orange warning criteria for the NW and yellow for the rest of the country.

    High tide in the NW around 4pm so not great timing.

    Yeah it looks more like a high end yellow warning. Just a windy day for most parts but there could be a brief period of strong winds right on the exposed west coast so a limited orange warning is possible there. 06Z HIRLAM has sustained winds touching 85 km/h on the coast but it's not at all representative of the winds experienced inland.

    Scottish islands could see some strong winds later though.

    The Hebrides will end up in Norway...


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,134 ✭✭✭✭maquiladora


    UKMO are only going for 105 km/h max gusts at the moment though.
    Chief Forecaster's assessment

    A deepening depression is expected to move northeastwards passing to the northwest of Scotland on Wednesday. The associated frontal system will swing quickly eastwards into the area on Wednesday bringing gales with gusts of 50-60 mph widely and perhaps 65 mph over more exposed locations.

    Gusts arriving here in West Clare already.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,219 ✭✭✭Gaoth Laidir


    16 and 15 mm of rain overnight in Claremorris and Knock, respectively. It seems this area is a hotspot for rain in southwesterly setups.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,876 ✭✭✭JanuarySnowstor


    The weekend is looking horrendous for the south
    High tides also coincide this time

    GFS is showing some awful rainfall but ECM is keeping much further south just barely clipping coast, interesting to see how this plays out.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,827 ✭✭✭pauldry


    15.7mm of rain sligo last night

    Definitely wettest month since Nov 2009 on the way unless the snow sets in

    A typo in the current MetÉ headline forecast that will give you a chuckle
    Sunday: Mild and windy with scattered outbreaks of rain. rain.
    Next week: Atlantic regime. Wet and windy at times with some spells of heavy rain. Gales at times also with very rough seas.

    Nearly 20mm of rain in Castlebar since midnight, we look set to break the 2000mm yearly rain barrier sooner rather than later.

    River Moy levels still dropping. Not sure it will last.
