Has the snow risk diminished since yesterdays charts or is it marginal?

Living in Ballinasloe which is in Galway, would I be better off heeding the Roscommon Orange warning or the Galway red? I reckon I'm far enough inland to treat it as orange.

Reddish orange

Or would clare and limerick be better?

Vermillion warning I'd say.

Does anyone find all the ME warnings totally confusing at this stage ? There is an red and orange warning for Galway for example . For different time frames . Hard to get a handle on when each warning is for !

Latest 15z Icon keeps the centre North West of Donegal. Galway bay or cliffden could have some record breaking gusts if this verifies. Severe gusts penetrating inland areas, even Dublin exposed areas could get gusts of an excess of 120kmph. This could be one to remember!!

The red warning is only for roughly 3 hours or so! Then it goes back to orange. Nothing confusing there

Rain started in Sth Galway. Roll on 6am
Thanks to the regulars again for brilliant updates and answers to silly questions.

The mass extinction of ocean buoys is not a good thing for tracking, but at least K4 is still there and the low may be right over it by 12z. That Hirlam variant showing the Connacht landfall is either on a bender or about to win first place in show. I can't see it happening that way from all the evidence. Low might be anywhere from 10 to 100 miles north of Belmullet at some point. In this case, further south it gets, further south the red warning verification will drift.

Newport could be in high variability mode, Westport almost certain to get nailed, Clifden 90% likely.

It's kinda weird that a country as small as Ireland gets so many different warnings. All calm here, but Jim next door has a red warning.

Oneiric 3

Just looking at the high res sat animation for the last couple of hours, and the low center itself appears to have moved very little, if at all in that time frame. At this point in time, it appears to be almost stationary. Not a typically fast moving 'bomb' system at all that would have developed much further west. It would seem that this particular low needs that extra surge of cold air from the NW Atlantic to kick it up the arse and nudge it in our direction. Odd one really.

7 different warnings on ME. I found myself zoning out after about the 4th .

Have the frequency and intesity of all the recent storms damaged a lot of our atlantic buoys?



Is it normal for this to happen to modern buoy's or have we just been unlucky?

God love the buoys during the 80s/90s.

You will score well on holes 3, 4, 6, 9 and 15. Holes 7, 14 and 18 will be double bogey at least.

That's going to be interesting. Dublin could get a fair rattle from this
