    We already have reports of trees down around parts of Wexford and South Wicklow,thats without the really strong winds hitting.Heavy rain here overnight so I expect a lot more trees to be on the ground by tomorrow due to the sodden ground.

    Can we expect much rain to accompany the wind?

    The main ranband has long since departed, we'll be left with heavy blustery showers, with the occlusion bringing more organised rain to the north later

    The Eagle was on Mid west radio there saying "This low pressure has been forcast for a long time now, but I dont think it will be a storm, perhaps a notch below a storm"

    gusts almost as high as sunday already, highest gust @ each of 7 and 8am was in Galway ( Mace Head) at almost 60kt , sunday record 61kt @ malin. Belmullet edged Mace @ 9am. Malin is third , much lower. Connacht is getting the worst for now.
