    Wow a lot of anger in your post ,just looking at what the charts are showing now, of course I don't know what it will be like in 5 days.Maybe go out and get some fresh air from Ophelia :p

    I'm not in any way angry, however there's not much point in telling someone buses are okay when your original point says you've no idea yet!

    No anger intended.

    It would wise to keep an eye on the tides as there is a new moon towards the weekend.

    Doubt there's much point even thinking about this storm system for another couple of days. Something might come of it, but it's less than 50:50 at the moment, and even if it does and -if- it comes at us, there'll be no predicting its track with any accuracy for a while yet.

    This is Fantasy Island territory here guys. If the system is still viable this time tomorrow, we might have something to work with.

    Large chance of this doing anything that will cause it to miss Ireland, however I'd like to point out that Ophelia was flagged from this many days out!

    Hopefully Ophelia will have caused any damage that was possible, and even if this storm arrives damage will be minimal. Joanna may be getting overtime again soon though!

    Yep, I was about to say that. I had huge doubts in Ophelia and said for it to be typical Autumn weather but I was wrong.

    Actually, if you are on the site on that image at the top and you hover over the marker, it does comment "Conditions are expected to become unfavourable for further development by Wednesday, when the disturbance merges with a frontal system over the western Atlantic".

    Mind you, met.ie at 5days out is showing a storm.

    Here's how Joanna signed off the forecast after the Nine O'Clock News.

    "That's it for now, we'll worry about the rest of the weekend after we get through this."

    Actually, this thread is a secret thread by the pear loving association of Ireland. (PLAI)

    Oh please God no FFS.

    Due to fly out in Europe Friday morning and back Sunday morning. It would serve as a brief respite for what has gone on today and continues to go on.

    Praying this doesn't develop.

    I know this is +120 hours, but these last couple of months have instilled a rather large amount of trust in me for the ECMWF model...but 48 hours will tell us more.

    I followed the original MT post about Ophelia and told my wife about it on Thursday . She was slagging me all weekend until Sunday when it was getting serious.

    I mentioned this thread and she wasn’t making any jokes!

    How is this any less likely then Ophelia was 120 hours out? Is it because it’s got different variables and routes to navigate?

    My 2 cents would be Ophelia had nowhere else to go. It followed the path given to it from the early stage till now. This one has more of a gauntlet to go through.
    But again I barely have 2 cents most times to start with.

    Oh dear indeed.

    Trying to remember from when I was more active here during the years around the big freeze, is it within 96hrs that we start paying attention?

    BBC predicting it in their long range forecast, looks to affect the UK more then us on their charts, if I read it correctly, unsure, not an expert on charts :)

    Very different type of storm to today's (for one it won't form as a Cat 3 Hurricane before it hits us) but one to watch over coming days. A small shift south (it will head to UK) or a decrease in strength and it won't be much to worry about in comparison to today. On the other hand ...
