____________________________________
The low continues to deepen as it moves past Donegal Bay, and will eventually reach 940-945 mbs. But the strongest winds are in a band between 955 and 975 mbs and almost all of that will be over Ireland tonight and Thursday morning. Direction of the strongest winds will veer gradually from southwest to west during the next 12 to 18 hours. As they move around to westerly, there may be a peak for Galway Bay due to topographic channelling.
No significant changes in forecast, the strongest winds of the storm are about to reach the west coast and these should peak around 0300 to 0900 hours with sustained winds of 90-100 km/hr gusting to 150 km/hr in exposed locations (possibly 160). This will gradually reduce to 80-130 km/hr through the central counties and inland Ulster towards the east coast. All of these regions will see squally showers of rain and hail, snow only falling late in the windy period on highest elevations in Connacht and west Ulster.
Meanwhile the south coast will see a second round of strong wind gusts during the overnight hours, probably not quite reaching the same intensity as earlier today, but close to that, 80-120 km/hr.
Parts of west Munster will become cold enough for sleet or snow by morning, as cold air makes its most direct approach from the southwest. Temperatures further north will stay above 4 C until late Thursday, but in higher parts of west Munster they will fall to 1-2 C and if snow falls then there may not be much recovery during the daytime hours. Dublin and most of Leinster will see temperatures near 6 or 7 C most of the day with passing squally showers.
Check the storm discussion thread for any further updates before the morning forecast at 0630h.
