Evelyn is the anti-cyclone to George Lee's cyclone.

What is the exact meaning of a Marine Warning does anyone know? They say coastal waters but does that extend inland at all or is it really only for shipping?

Evelyn cusack said it extends from the immediate coastline to 30 km out to sea.

Im less than a mile from the coastline so im expecting red level conditions.

Anyone know what time next update from Met Éireann is due? Would it be crazy to travel from Mayo to Galway tomorrow morning?

RTE Radio One has a forecast at 17.57. RTE One TV forecast around 18.55 or so.

I'd say Mayo to Galway tomorrow morning could be a wild ride....I'd be giving it a miss personally but someone more qualified than me may weigh in.

Thanks for that

Jorge is a complex 976-hPa low out at around 22W at midday today, but the centre should consolidate overnight and start a shift eastwards, with the 952-hPa wolf at the door by dawn tomorrow.

You do right. Good thinking.

Looks fun alright! Why couldn't it happen during the week when I'd have a prospect of an extra day at home.

There are no words, and there is no hiding place... That list of warnings … :eek:

Wind weary. But nothing we can do except rest tonight and be ready.

One of my beloved rescue cats is sick and has one into hiding as these little lost ones tend to do, and this is adding to the stress. He will not emerge in high winds..

Sorry; off topic.

Have a good and restful evening out there . All blissfully quiet out here now.

Going to a wedding tomorrow. Sounds like a day to be inside!!

Little snowy old me

I give up... My mother has been downplaying the storm all day and saying that "they don't know what they are on about half the time" but now because a neighbour has told her he doesn't like "the colour of the low clouds" , she's all on for coming up to ours for the weekend. We've stocked up on candles, extra cylinder of gas for the emergency cooker in the shed, extra groceries and a bottle of brandy. We all like a wee tipple in the evening.

Its a bit oddly specific to limit it to Clare and Galway wouldn't you say? I mean it cannot be beyond the realms of possibility that a variance in track of just 50 kms could give red level gusts in Mayo, Limerick, Kerry? I hope ME aren't being overly circumspect because of the media rubbish about the warning protocol.

Well then if it was in mayo, would it be reasonable to say it could also get to Sligo? Then if it was in Sligo, reasonable to say it could get to Donegal? Where do you draw the line?

Shannon airport forecasting gusts up to 60 knots between midday and 3pm. Wild enough!

Knock also forecasting gusts up to 60 knots between 3pm and 5pm

All sounds very snug and cosy! And glad it worked out so well!
