What wind speeds would you predict for Achill MT? Are we likely to get anything as bad as the ARPEGE charts suggested? It doesn't sound too bad here-yet...

Winds have turned up a notch here in Kildare now. As in you can hear them whistling through the power lines outside

Right according to the arpege in the next hour, Galway , Mayo Sligo should be getting blown into next week.

Please include locations with weather obs. The satellite appearance is that of a powerful cyclone alright, perfect circular eye on infra-red (often we've seen these cruise past Ireland around 100-200 miles offshore, this one aims to crawl east along the Mayo coast into Ulster by 0300). Pauldry, you may be "in the eye of the storm" around 0300h.

Severe NW winds will follow the passage of the centre in this case. That's where the gradient will be strongest until after the centre has moved well past Isle of Man, in the U.K. phase strongest winds will begin to catch up to the centre eventually.

This is really going to slam Lancashire hard I would think, around 0900h. It reminds me of the epic 8th of December 1886 storm with the record low pressure at Belfast of 927.2 mbs (!), nothing like that here but sort of a scale model of that storm. Severe damage was caused in Belfast and then northwest England from that low.

Shelter in place, you are in the eye now (almost). Depends on your exposure to the northwest where you are but potential for 75-80 knot gusts briefly in about an hour to two hours from now, 60 kts for about 3-4 hours.

Not too wild here yet (just outside gorey) just remembered that I forgot to take the washing in off the line ffs that will be fun in the morning !!

A Line Galway to Dublin, 50 miles north and south going to get hit by extreme gusts in next several hours. Its a picture post card on the satellite imagery

Just got fierce wild in Ballinasloe, eased off but still gusty. Chimney's noisy.

Yes

M.T. Cranium

Squall line becoming intense east of Limerick, more or less a severe storm alert situation for Tipps, Kilkenny, Laois, Carlow, south Kildare 0230-0330h. Hail and wind gusts to 120 km/hr possible in that region, could spread to Waterford, Wicklow, Offaly.

Pressure now 976.5

Starting to get the first few light gusts here in s.e. Sligo, a fine night for my weather station to go on the blink, all I got is pressure and inside temps, sigh. 986.4mb dropping at a rate of -3.1 mb/hr.

That's been the hot topic of the evening.

I think no, others think yes.

So maybe.

It has got a lot worse in the last half hour, seems to be getting stronger which would be correct going by the Arpege.

I'm over in Vegas at the minute, missing out on all this. My only concern are the wheelie bins and storage units that may not be very safe and secure (I've nobody in the house). Flying back tomorrow though, so as a nervous flyer, hopefully it will have passed London by Friday morning!

pauldry

Nearly now at the lowest of the low

Pressure at 975.6 so prob 974 will be min then tearing roars of Doris
