Sorry but we are weather enthusiasts at the end of the day and the majority on here do wish for the 'extremes' like heat and thunderstorms in summer, cold and snow in winter and deep low's with severe gales in Autumn and we all know with all those scenarios that there is a risk to life and sadly at times there are some tragic consequences. However that should not stop us from wishing or looking out for any of those scenarios to come to fruition despite the risks and nor should there be any attempts of being guilty just because the majority wish for the 'extremes' which has the risk of tragic consequences.

If you are inferring from that that I'm not a weather/meteorological enthusiast then you are totally wrong and I have probably been so a tad longer than the rest of you. And just for the record I was not attempting to make anyone feel guilty, I know from past experience that would be futile, but merely posting my opinion about something I feel quite strongly about .It is not always apparent in this forum but I assume I am allowed an opinion?

I think the most likely track takes Ophelia just to the West of the West coast of Ireland although wobbles that take the centre circulation across inland Ireland are entirely feasible.  A majority of the ensembles would suggest a more Westerly bias though.  ECMWF operational is further East with the core circulation crossing much of inland Ireland however EPS generally back the westward trend along with NCEP and HWRF.  The CONUS issued by the official guidance of the NHC is a blended mean and is reasonable.  Still some minor shifts plausible in the next 48 hours.  Is there anyone on the S coast of Ireland on this forum?

I like what I see here Earth , I have being using this as a tracker for some years now, I have tested this website with people from other countries such as Taiwan and the Philippines, the models do change but not as regular as I would like.

Amazing noaa still have it at hurricane status south west of Ireland. Going to be one to watch closely.

No they don't. They have hurricane strength winds, but it is post tropical. Black circles denote tropical systems, white circles post-tropical/extratropical.

GFS really is on its own in this selection of models, with the rest going for a more direct hit on the UK. Yes the winds are weaker with Ophelia further east, but still significant with 80mph+ looking likely.

The eastward corrections are definitely more exciting.

Looks like I'll be in prime position here in Cork ( excluding gfs of course )

Look forward to updating everyone IF it does happen

Hurricane strength but post-tropical or extra-tropical in transition.  As you know the dynamics are different.  Note the black dots with white H when Ophelia is a true hurricane (latent heat fuelled through oceanic processes) where Ophelia has a white dot with black H meaning post tropical/extra tropical transitioning and some interaction with the jet-stream.  Although you could argue that judging by the latest models namely the ECMWF the concentric banding with the strongest winds around the inner centre the physical characteristics are not too dissimilar to a hurricane.  However convective processes usually fuelling the spiral bands associated with stronger coriolis will have been sheared by the jet and largely dissipated.  Fascinating to watch unfold, and to see just how close Ophelia will be to a true hurricane.  Analysis of the PPN distribution on radar will be worth noting as well as the modelling of the pressure gradient around the centre circulation.  I feel those in Ireland should be watching this one closely.

Sadly for us in Leeds it largely looks like a no show unless some dramatic turn in the ensembles takes place.

Quite unbelievable a storm of this magnitude is on the cusp of affecting Ireland and western U.K. . Look forward too seeing some footage :)

Yup you're right post tropical but yesterday it was way further south yesterday that it was doing the transaction.

Met seem to be going with GFS with it swinging to the west of ireland.

 I like this comment from noaa

1. Ophelia is expected to transition to a hurricane-force post-
tropical cyclone by Monday when it moves near Ireland and the
United Kingdom.  While post-tropical Ophelia will likely bring some
direct impacts from wind and heavy rain to portions of these areas,
as well as dangerous marine conditions, given the forecast
uncertainty at these time ranges it is too soon to determine the
exact magnitude, timing and location of the impacts.  Residents in
Ireland and the United Kingdom should monitor the progress of
Ophelia for the next several days.  For more information on local
impacts, residents of Ireland should refer to products issued by Met
Eireann and residents in the United Kingdom should refer to products
issued by the Met Office.

 

At the moment that's us boys and girls.

Much as I love the weather ( and I'm fascinated by Ophelia because of her unusual track) I can recall all too clearly events of 30 years ago and am not desperately keen on experiencing them first hand. Nor am I terribly keen on my family in S. Ireland experiencing them first hand. I love to watch events like this from afar, but I've no desire to 'bring it on' when it comes to hurricane force winds. You're not alone!

Just a hint to anyone with the equipment and in the right place. Set up your web cam and stream it live on the Tube of You! There's a fascination with watching powerful weather, wee subtle changes, watching the winds pick up etc. If anyone can manage this, please do!
