| #StormDudley not so bad right now |
Two deep low-pressure systems have been named by the Met Office and will bring very strong winds and potentially snow to the UK and Ireland this week. I don't know how they choose who gets to name them.
⚠️The warnings are in place.
#StormDudley will bring a spell of wet and very windy weather today. A yellow wind warning is in place nationwide from noon today until noon tomorrow, with the strongest winds expected in coastal areas and on high ground. Windguru is showing gusts higher than 50 knots later today. Highest temperatures of 9 to 13 degrees C.
🌊Large coastal waves & some coastal flooding are possible.

| Current predicted track of #StormEunice |
#StormEunice is the second named storm to impact Ireland this week, bringing high winds and the potential for snow. Some are even saying to expect blizzard-like conditions on Friday morning. In fact, all models are showing heavy precipitation overnight and temperatures around 1C. #sneachta

| Strong jet stream will fuel Storm Eunice |
Storm Eunice is expected to deepen rapidly with central pressure reaching as low as 965mb, 'as the low forms in the right entrance of a jet streak and shifts across to the left exit region'. The exact track/depth is uncertain, which will affect the location of the strongest winds, but there is potential for disruption on Friday especially in the southernmost parts of the country while the northernmost parts get snow pulled down from the North. A definite whiff of explosive cyclogenesis will be in the air as we run through Thursday into Friday (1005mb down to 965mb Thursday noon to Friday noon - 40mb drop in 24hrs).
