Possible squall line developing in the midlands now moving west.

Very windy here now too, gusting above 40kt in Dublin Airport.

Extremely mild too, touching 14c

Squall just passed by,tame enough. Wind seems to have picked up since though. Mild alright.

hellboy99

Winds have just come out of nowhere here in Dundalk, gusts of 80km at the minute

That squall line just passed over us in Meath - had torrential rain for 90 seconds and then very intense gusts of wind.

Dublin Airport and Phoenix Park showing 14C at 2pm. Here in Dun Laoghaire the Harbour station is showing 15.8C and its overcast here so no sun effect. It feels very clammy the last few hours.

I'm 14.8c. - this has the mildest January day since................. last January :rolleyes:

Any chance of a repeat of the kind of wind / gusts that we saw yesterday evening, especially along M1? I am on a motorbike, getting home was a bit hairy last night. Thanks!!

ooh, nice its very calm here in Lucan. Would love a gusty windy day.

Interesting - I was considering not cycling home unless there was a rapid improvement. Maybe that improvement is on the way...

Lost satellite signal here for about 20 secs at 13.35 as the squall line was passing through here in North Tipp.

Temperature should start dropping sharply now, already at 13.0c

12z model runs will be very interesting wrt Friday.

Just getting the tail end of that squall line here at the moment. Hail and very windy. Looks nasty just to the west of Dublin and should pass over the city in the next hour or so.

edit : had not refreshed radar. Probably gone thru Dublin already.

First in is the GME, nothing exceptional.

Although showing the developmental potential deepening the low near 18mb in 12 hours.

It's just passing through Dublin now, very nasty, practically a white-out the rain was that heavy, needless to say I wasn't venturing out in it to see what the winds were like.

Latest GFS throws some strong winds over us again late Wednesday/ Thursday morning (This being a separate development to Friday's potential storm)

ninebeanrows

925hPa winds early Thursday

maquiladora

Whatever about Friday, Thursday is showing some strong gusts moving over the country.

GFS looking further south and slightly less deep with Friday's feature.

Saw that earlier from the rounded met reports from Gurteen, went from 14c to 9c.
The 14c readngs from Dublin airport and Phoenix park should see a big drop in the 16:00 reports.

No let up in winds here in Donegal, howling in Buncrana. We're 10miles from Malin head and I bet 7 O clocks gusts will still be in and around 60 knts.

sunbabe08

Nabber

Wind really picking up here now in Kevin Street. Have cycle home too

I stopped at a layby at Dublin airport around 1500 today, just in time for the squall line . The winds before the squall were 220/25G42kts and then the rain arrived at 1513 the whole airport dissapeared behind the rain and the wind veered to 250/40G56kts for around 15min, really intense stuff. There was a good few aircraft diverting throughout the afternoon too.
