Atlantic Storm 14th - 15th January

[Nick123]

Latest BBC forecast by Helen, she seemed alittle concerned about the storm

Finally! Think this could be quite severe to he honest, specially in your neck of the woods and mine overnight.

12z EURO4 has it bottoming out at 944mb, going to be a lively night for a few.

Had these interesting striped bands of clouds pass overhead here in East London at around dusk. I don't think I've seen such formations so closely packed together before- I assume these are from the leading edge of the storm? 

Unfortunately my pics from my camera phone don't really do them justice.

Gusts 60mph here now squally rain. Unless it goes 70+ then its nothing for this area really. Looks like it might make that overnight and into tomorrow though.

Yes I know,been in a few storms over the years camping at shell island

[Jo S]

just a bit of wind here and that's it, nothing to get excited about at the moment

I go there too, had a few broken tents in the wind.

xcweather wind map/forecast states 63mph gusts at its east midlands location at midnight - 1mph short of beaufort 11 (Violent storm force) - still baffled by the bbc's lack of mention of any inland wind risk?

 

Granted, the wind speed most likely won't be that high, but still?

 

Also, the storm looks beautiful:

She used the term "powerful" you don't hear weather presenters say stuff like that too often!

[Liam J]

Interesting inshore waters forecast for the north Irish Sea, storm force 10 perhaps violent storm force 11, very rough or high seas!

Rough out there this evening, the biggest blow here since last Feb when gusts reached 60mph.

Driving heavy rain and a strong to gale force southerly, highest gust so far 46mph a few minutes ago and so it is still on the increase.

[Jo S]

just seen bbc weather, she said 65mph in London area, 

[Mapantz]

Crazy area of rain!

[Abyss]

Cork airport just recorded a gust of 91mph. It's not even in Irelands red alert and that doesn't kick in until 9pm further up the coast. Begs the question how bad could it get or is it a typo lol

18Z synopsis versus the progged ECM and GFS for same time frame.

 

 

GFS    ECM

 

Once again, that looks to be a superb representation from the new GFS.

It was a reporting error

First signs of the cold front showing on the radar to the W of Eire. Certainly a squall line but also looking like LEWP in places

 

The good news for many is that the strong winds will be for a relatively short period of time as the cold front sweeps east. Certainly the strongest winds of the winter in the south which will bring a few trees down and cause some damage to fences and houses.

woofing lol

[ChezWeather]

UKMO going with a max gust of 49 here tonight, Netweather and XC both going with 60+

 

Southerly direction could be a bonus for the higher gusts here as we are far more exposed to the South than the usual Westerlies 

[Liam J]

Storm force 10 winds with higher gusts being recorded at Mace Head, W Ireland, becoming very windy of the next couple of hours... http://www.xcweather.co.uk/

Is that a fact or your interpretation?

[mickeyb44]

Looking very iffy in Northern Ireland.
