    No weather guru but heres my tuppence worth :).

    Similar Orange warnings for the Northern half of the country and yellow warnings for other counties probable. The Storm is well offshore to the NW but massive and powerfull wind and a huge windfield. This wind event looks more prolonged beginning early Monday morning 01.00 - 02.00 approx in the W and NW and continuing till late Monday night in the NW and N and slowly clearing those coasts into Tues am. Similar wind speeds perhaps from a similar track to Gertrude on this Island and Scotland looks to get a right battering again. Doesent look like a lot of rain at this stage on Monday. Temperatures starting off mild after Sun will decrease throughout the day and no doubt feel very cold in the wind.Those Shetland Webcams will come in handy again. Just my opinion, open to others :)

    I liked Gertrude
    She was a good girl

    Has the storm been named yet?
    I think it also needs orange status to be named. Don't be naming them premature, the other day in the weather the presenter said America's storm Jonas would probably become a named storm here, but it didn't.

    Why is Storm Henry in the OP?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,979 ✭✭✭squarecircles


    Storm Henry arrives on Monday
    Then, into next week we have another deep low arriving onto the scene for Monday, and it's expected to take a very similar track to Gertrude, very close to the north of Scotland.

    Good question! Sounds like a pop star!

    It would be the next storm after Gertrude, needing to be starting with "H", but naming is premature at this point.

    I understand that the next named storm will be Henry (then Imogene I think), but as it hasn't been named officially I was wondering.

    Netweather seem certain it will be named.
    So this looks to be another overnight event?

    The storm was named this morning by the UKMO.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 11,746 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    To me it looks more powerfull then Gertrude judging by this run at this stage with possibly higher winds on the coasts of coastal counties in the W /NW / N. Winds look to be penetrating more inland with this storm.Looks like plenty of gusts over 100 kph and possibly getting up to 130+ kph om coasts. Massive sea swell.

    And not even a statement by Met Eireann?
    That's fairly poor.

    Gfs not as strong on the 06z will be interesting to see the next run

    Latest NOAA showing a central low pressure of 955 hPA ( Looks much further to the NW in this run )

    Met Eireann STATUS YELLOW


    Weather Advisory for Ireland
    A deep Atlantic depression, which has been named Storm Henry, will track eastwards to the north of Scotland on Monday evening and night. It will generate very strong winds over Ireland, especially in coastal counties of Connacht and Ulster. More detailed wind forecasts to follow on Sunday and Monday.

    Yes, but you'll have to pay by the gram:cool:


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,069 ✭✭✭✭JCX BXC


    Generally (or all the time) with Atlantic weather fronts (and storms) they bring mild temps, so snow is a big not gonna happen.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 11,746 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    Latest NOAA chart showing wind speeds out to sea at 65 Kts, hurrricane force winds, shipping would want to give that a wide berth.

    I know it is early days for an accurate forecast but what do the broadsie experts think? Naming it this early and saying extremely windy isn't MEs usual style. Gives the impression to expect more than the usual 110km/h inland and 120km/h coastal winds. I know the name came more from the UK but it still seems early days for names and advisories.

    It's quite a potent low pressure system with hurricane force winds out to sea, with a rather large wind field,any change in track could potentially bring very severe winds to ireland,therefor they want to bring it to people's attention now,without being alarming,my opinion anyways.

    Storm is going to hit Scotland strong,met eireann had to follow uk lead,with a bit of luck it will move more north and miss Donegal also


  • Registered Users Posts: 272 ✭✭Padster90s


    Ah I see, I was more in the thinking they were covering all bases preparing for a nasty one, you know "You can't say we didn't warn you" sort of thing! Hopefully it'll budge well north.
    I don't think I've seen a storm advisory before on its on without a warning on Met.ie. Probably something to do with joint naming. I'd imagine there'll be a yellow alert tomorrow.

    Hake?

    What DOCARCH meant was that it was officially named. The names are pre decided, but they then have to decide which low pressure systems make the cut of a name and which don't.
