Pretty wild here at the moment, as it has been all night.
Very windy indeed and overcast with patchy rain. I took a drive over to the East coast at Donaghadee and the sea is amazing looking there - full of foam and big waves crashing over on to the coast road
Also saw the coastguard about to head out - madness being on a boat out there at the moment.....0 -
Vessel Arklow Raider went aground last night in those winds off Drogheda, they tried a refloat this morning but not joy.
He was describing the winds last night as violent and very uncomfortable !
The poor Pilot from Drogheda is stuck on the ship also as its too rough to get him off !

The rainfall rates from Felice yesterday evening were enhanced by a process called Front Intensification by Jet, whereby the jetstream crossed the occluded front at an angle, causing upper divergence and hence upward motion in its left exit region. This, in conjunction with rich sub-tropical moisture (dewpoints up to 10°C), led to enhanced convective rainfall along the front in the south and west.
This water vapour image from 1800UTC yesterday contains an overlay of the 300hPa isotachs (in m/s), showing the jet crossing the front at an angle to the south of Ireland. The white area circles shows where upward motion is enhanced, and as this advected northwards, brought heavy rain to the south and west.

Just to add my thanks to the weather forum crew for such a comprehensive job tracking this event, maybe title can now be edited to read low, risk of intense storm.
I would consider it an intense storm for much of Munster, so a fairly large part of the country was impacted, and the east coast got a late taste of the storm's potential before it began to degrade.
Interesting to follow a satellite 12-hour animation to see the counter-clockwise loop that the low has performed out near M6 buoy, and although it continues to weaken, this will sweep some slightly stronger gusts back around towards Clare and Galway, possibly Kerry, in the next few hours. These gusts will probably stay between 40 and 50 knots so nothing like the intensity yesterday, but the last act for this slowly dying storm.
For the record, it would appear the lowest central pressure yesterday was about 966 mbs and now it has filled to about 973 mbs.0 -

Just to keep an eye on the winds in southern Greenland tonight and tomorrow as the pressure gradient becomes extremely tight as a low to the south pushes up against the cold-core high over the Greenland glacier. The Danish Met office are forecasting up to Force 11 winds in the area. Already 40kts at Narsarsuaq at midday today.
