    AROME and UKMO 06z are out now too and both are showing the strongest onshore winds in Offaly, Westmeath, Meath and Louth with UKMO about 10-15km/h stronger gusts. ARPEGE looking similar to the GFS just a bit stronger.

    Notably, some of the stronger 00z runs have already downgraded in their 06z runs, and the weaker ones have come up (GFS and ICON). At this point I'd say Met Eireann have it bang on average with the 06z rollouts.

    Sometimes these quick moving storms, that are not flagged days in advance , can be very potent. I think you are right about the track being nailed on. We could yet see downgrades from the ECM regarding the winds. Although damage could still be done with the water logged ground and some trees still having a fair few leaves on them. Also another big risk factor is trees with weak roots in more urban areas.

    What strange parts are you referring to? 😁


    Met Eireann may be trying to be more granular based on prior data (windspeeds/topography etc).

    If they do it by county, we complain. If they get more granular, we complain. I guess they are applying a methodology and doing their best.

    Models certainly aligning more now at this stage as they would want to apart from the GFS that is still lower than the European models .ECM has dialed back the wind speeds a bit but still potential there for very high-end Orange or Red warning levels I would think albeit moving through quickly but they are the most damaging winds from these rapidly developing storms overland and are the most unpredictable. Could be the case that we see a quite narrow swathe of damaging winds in the areas being shown the models. The way the models are now coming together should have a more reliable path and wind speed over the coming hours. Met Eireann though will need to call this I think for around 18.00 to coincide with the news so as to get the word out especially for schools. people will have to listen out in the morning also to see if there are a lot of trees down and premises without power.

    What was a stream and is now a very wide rock exposed river basin due to flooding in the cooley mts. Wonder what it will look like in a few days. There is so much damage up there to roads and bridges. The power oF nature to change what one thinks is permanent.

    Based on the models I would say there's red potential right across the middle of the country. There's still somewhat of a spread but looks more or less like any of the currently orange level counties could see red.

    Meteorite 58, your charts are showing very tight isobars there up over Sligo and yet there's not a dicky bird about our area on any post. Will we get just rain from Debbi?

    According to sryanbruen's storm table, Mullingar hasn't recorded an orange level gust since the St Stephen's Day storm of 1998. The vast majority of storms since then have not recorded even a yellow level gust. So that's 25 years worth of tree growth and roofs/structures not experiencing what they might be going to experience tomorrow.

    Seeing as it’s the uncouth Sun they’d probably go with Debi blows hard. Sorry everyone.

    Question the Red marine warning is showing in Galway bay surely it would give Red gusts to the surrounding areas

    For now Sligo in the Yellow warning level going by the ECM and HARMONIE, being North of the highest winds ye will get the most rainfall, could get in excess of 40mm in a short space of time. Not totally nailed down yet, down to the wire this one but we are now probably seeing the track more or less although these can wobble a bit either way. Wind strength could reach Red warning level across the track of the strongest winds yet, even if it is going through so quickly, very dangerous for commuters/ school children busses etc. Loss of power could be a big issue with this one too.

    Add in that heavy rainfall it has to help push a red warning onto Clare and Galway even if winds didn't quite make it.
