Stormy Wednesday, Dec 9th-Gusts to 110km likely in NW with up to 35mm of rain also.

Iancar29 · 07-12-2015 10:20PM #1

Last few runs showing another strong storm to slide by the NW of the country Wednesday afternoon into evening time. Some heavy showers passing through too it will only add to flooding problems in areas.

10m Winds showing easily a yellow warning for the whole country , orange and potentially red for the Atlantic coastal counties.

Winds at 950hp have winds maxed out

More rain when its certainly not needed.

Still time for it to go either way but best have people aware IMO.

Also, High tide along the west coast around 4pm Wednesday.

How does this look inland? Highest winds reserved for coastal areas(as usual) or will they push well inland like Clodagh?

This is a usual one. Strongest on the west coast.

Rainfall around 30-70mm in places between now and Thursday morning.

Iancar29 · 08-12-2015 10:16AM

Slight downgrade on the 06z GFS , still possible orange warning criteria for the NW and yellow for the rest of the country.

High tide in the NW around 4pm so not great timing.

30mm rain between now and thursday for the NW too.

maquiladora · 08-12-2015 11:17AM

Yeah it looks more like a high end yellow warning. Just a windy day for most parts but there could be a brief period of strong winds right on the exposed west coast so a limited orange warning is possible there. 06Z HIRLAM has sustained winds touching 85 km/h on the coast but it's not at all representative of the winds experienced inland.

Scottish islands could see some strong winds later though.

Gaoth Laidir · 08-12-2015 11:38AM

The Hebrides will end up in Norway...

maquiladora · 08-12-2015 12:00PM

UKMO are only going for 105 km/h max gusts at the moment though.

Chief Forecaster's assessment

A deepening depression is expected to move northeastwards passing to the northwest of Scotland on Wednesday. The associated frontal system will swing quickly eastwards into the area on Wednesday bringing gales with gusts of 50-60 mph widely and perhaps 65 mph over more exposed locations.

maquiladora · 08-12-2015 12:11PM

Gaoth Laidir · 09-12-2015 06:27AM

16 and 15 mm of rain overnight in Claremorris and Knock, respectively. It seems this area is a hotspot for rain in southwesterly setups.

GFS is showing some awful rainfall but ECM is keeping much further south just barely clipping coast, interesting to see how this plays out.

pauldry · 09-12-2015 11:24AM

15.7mm of rain sligo last night

Definitely wettest month since Nov 2009 on the way unless the snow sets in

Larbre34 · 09-12-2015 11:37AM

A typo in the current MetÉ headline forecast that will give you a chuckle

Sunday: Mild and windy with scattered outbreaks of rain. rain.
Next week: Atlantic regime. Wet and windy at times with some spells of heavy rain. Gales at times also with very rough seas.
