Strongest winds for that area won't be until around 3-6am. Winds will probably be about 25 mph, gusts could be up to 50mph. I dunno if it'll look too dramatic in the dark.

While its likely to be a bigger storm overall looking at those charts hurricane bill will give the most stormy sea conditions on the east coast. Taking pictures in the dark aren't gonna come out to well unless there's some kinda strong light (or lightning if you happen to be fantastically lucky). If you do go out at night though, a video camera with night mode is probably the best way to go.
While the winds with this aren't going to be too violent, I wouldn't recommend anyone to go out into bigger storms (unless you're mad like me:pac:, and well a few on this board:p)

true it'll be wind and rain,however its the fact that its an ex hurricane just makes it somewhat more exciting.

I'm afraid it is. There's no going back now, is there...

Heavy rain and flooding and strong winds expected with this "hiccup". Be careful of surface water too. Drive carefully tonight and into tomorrow morning.

Some torrential rain now showing up on the radar towards the southwest

M.T. Cranium

Current location of the low (983 mbs) is about 51.5 N 20.0 W. Track is east-north-east becoming more north-east by 00z, and I expect it to track through Galway and Mayo on the way to central NI by 12z.

The rainfall presentation looks fairly impressive and I continue to think the west and south could see 20-35 mms overnight, probably more like 15-25 mms for eastern counties. There appear to be a few thundershowers embedded, expect these around 0300 in south-central Ireland (they may skirt the southwest and move inland near Cork).

Winds will probably peak around 0300-0600 hours along the south coast (west coast should only be windy to Shannon estuary) at SSE 35 mph with gusts to 55 or 60 possible. High tides are around 11 pm tonight and 11 am tomorrow and these could see water levels about 0.5 metres above tidal predictions, in south-facing harbours, possibly up to 1.0 metres.

These are all "medium" or moderate impacts. The storm will probably seem significant but not monumental to most people, but one or two places could get some serious flooding from the rainfall given the prior state of the water table.

Blame it on the

and yet Meteoalarm have not issued a warning yet. I just don't understand it. Should we just wait for the history lesson tomorrow?

Timistry

Rainfall seems to be intensifying at it encroaches inland. Looks like a few nice cells in the main band aswell.

IMBACKLATER

we laugh at ex tropical lows in mayo, bring it on, lol
rain you say, a gust of 50 mph , me sides are spliting:D

howlinwolf

some serious looking pulses of rain enbedded in inside system,could be some cool thundersstorms mixed up in this....

howlinwolf

karlog

This heavy rain is steadily making its way towards Dublin.

Not seeing anything unusual or different from what's implied in previous forecast ideas, update from me around 11 p.m. Location of centre appears to be 52 N 18 W. Winds at the M6 buoy have dropped off to light easterly indicating the centre is about to pass south of there.

The guidance on the "evil twin" system won't change until at least midnight. It's going to be much more of an event in the north than Bill, not so much of a difference in the south which gets more from Bill than the north (in terms of wind speeds).

Difference is, Bill is in a weakening phase of development while the evil twin (I am renaming it grumpy twin) is in a deepening stage of development when it passes Ireland on Thursday. So winds will keep increasing with it, instead of slowly decreasing, point for point down the line.
