core of damaging winds just to the west of Ireland on the 06 z gfs

Batten down the hatches Grases7, looks bad for the islands. Enjoy listening to nature's fury from the comfort of your home :-)

Away from the considerable straight-lined wind threat we also have a considerable risk for funnel clouds/ weak tornadoes to form.

Strong wind convergence in the west as the first core of the system makes landfall


High helicity values in the SW too.


The thing though with these setups is that the visibility will be very poor as the LCL will be only a few 100 meters. Its this time of year that Ireland experiences them most too.

One to keep an eye out for and too inspect any reports of damage along a me localised path.

I'm in allihies on the beara peninsula and it's calm still.
I seen a guy on Facebook say castletownbere could get 170km+ winds. 😧

Well, there is listening and there is having your eardrums forcibly sundered... I am not a storm fan. They are to be endured perforce and to be safe in. Just a hard part of life is all. If this runs true to form my home will not feel safe either! The worst lately was Callum. the whole dwelling shook and shivered.

All safe; cats all in except the feral I feed who is a wild thing who respects the power of this totally and will not emerge even for food until it is safe. Wise critter...

Like all of us out here ...

Oscar Bravo

Shannon airport TAF forecasting gusts up to 58 knots between 4pm and 6pm tomorrow. Wild enough!

Windy here in Galway city. I was going out to a Cmas party & getting the late bus home, off home for the car now & having a dry night instead. Not risking the walk from the bus if this is only going to worsen!

Storm 10

From a friend on a Trawler Valentia Coastguard putting out storm to violent storm force wind warnings for shipping along the West Coast he is in port

Itssoeasy

The rain has arrived in cork city anyway.

SeaFields

Absolutely torrential rain here in South Kerry. It made for a particularly difficult drive home this evening.

Mickeroo

Wind howling and heavy rain in Achill. Slightly regret coming down for the night now.

HeidiHeidi

Tipping it down rain in N Donegal now, and getting fairly windy - unfortunately I can't measure it - although I'm sheltered for the moment under a hill, might get a bit more interesting tomorrow if the winds shift to more westerly.

The national parks to close headline is so odd to me. Its propagating through the cheap online news regurgitators now like its a big deal.

I suppose the fact it’s a Sunday and people would go there on a day off. Still though common sense and an orange wind warning would surely mean people stay at home.

I might have been dreaming but before sunlight slipped away there was hundreds of birds acting very strangely here in Cork, you would wonder can they sense the storm that’s coming.

Was driving north of the city and on 2 separate occasions I seen flocks of birds circling in a panic.

Crows flock here before sunset and at sunrise every single day. It's nothing unsuual.

I feel it's more a case of it being the weekend, so RTE and other media outlets have nothing else to build more weather danger hype around.

As I said I was probably dreaming

There's talk of Sunday being cancelled altogether over on the Face book.

Lashing down now. Still very little wind

TTLF

Gusty wind in S. Dublin

Where is the best place to find the most up to date forecast because I find when it’s coming up to an evenT and during it it’s hard to know what is predicted to happen, what is currently happening and where the storm is tracking .. where has it passed, where is it now, where is it headed, how long it is predicted to last etc.

Here is your best bet!

It's turned into a miserable night in cork city. It's a night for a high stool and a fire and a pint.

Well I’ve decided if it’s fierce here to tomorrow evening, I’m foregoing our Santa visit in the woods. Not worth the risk, money be damned.

Safest bet rather loose the money and enjoy many more santa visits to come

Jimbob1977

Rain getting heavier in Limerick.

There's a breeze building, but nothing major yet
