Coming home from work (North Dublin) I watched huge cumulus erupt so fast that they had a double pileus cap. Ominous amount of energy in the atmosphere.

Still fairly calm for the moment here, - near Kilkenny

Oscar Bravo

Ploughing should be delayed till 1300 surely on latest output if delaying - winds peaking 10-11am?

Agreed that north Connacht and west Ulster are going to see some brief heavy rainfalls followed by wind gusts to 130 km/hr around 09h to early afternoon tomorrow mainly.

I'm thinking that the potential wind event for Sunday might be more significant as it looks to impact all of the larger population centres on a Sunday afternoon when a lot of people might be out on day trips, and it won't be a mainly coastal event. Also, it is now fairly consistently displayed on all models. So it might be good to have a thread starting on this possible windy day (could wait and see if 00z model runs continue to converge on similar look).

I'm kind of happy with the ploughing being delayed, that's an extra half an hour of sleep for me

Sunday is what is being discussed in the FI threads, a potentially damaging storm. Check the thread out for details. It's hard to keep track of all these potential wind events because they're all coming one after the other! :pac:

Storm Ali- floats like a butterfly stings like a beeatch.... Stay safe everyone tomorrow morning's commute is gonna be fun fun fun.

You'd expect first wave will get out tomorrow using RWY16/34 but with delays for sure as not good for Ops and Taxi.

As veers 220-250 will be very dodgy 0800-1100z

Ground operations (everything that isn't an aircraft) and taxiing.
