Storm Eowyn discussion
#1
A few of us have been discussing this potential storm event for a few days now, watching the model runs come in. Obviously back on Sunday there was a lot of uncertainty and there still is, however it looks to be firming up for a severe gale event for most of the western UK and especially the northwest, including Ireland, Scotland and western England.

UKMO synoptic charts show the low pressure system bottoming out at 938mb as the system tracks slight back out offshore. 938mb is pretty incredible and very concerning.

We're getting to the point where we can start to watch current analysis and satellite loops of the development.

It's exciting for us weather nerds, but of course we never wish any damage or loss of life. This does look a dangerous storm.

Storm Eowyn............ discuss away !!!

I've attached the 96hr ukmo synoptic chart...

I'd be a bit cautious on the met office charts out that far, I think it's being modeled a bit too deep at the moment. I bet the next output has the pressure higher, otherwise I'll eat my hat!!

I reckon tomorrow afternoon we can start to see some development, it's actually bringing or will be bringing wintry precipitation to the gulf states!! It will then track up the eastern seaboard, and then rapidly develop in the north Atlantic. Of course, it's all still computer modeled at the moment!

The ECMWF and GFS look absolutely brutal for Ireland and the northern half of the UK Huh

Will this effect the Netherlands by any chance?

No, highly unlikely. There might be a period of squally winds and rains on Friday as the front (s) pass through. The main area of circulation is expected to be well to the west/northwest of the Netherlands.

Red warnings for the Republic of Ireland, some of the models are projecting gusts to in excess of 100mph.

12z runs are starting to firm, a bit more agreement in the models. Looks like anywhere in Ireland is going to be nailed by this, and there looks to be a swathe through northern England and southern Scotland. Cumbria and Dumfries could be hit hard too.

Would expect to see the UKMO issue red warnings tomorrow or sooner, in line with the Met Eire

12z wind gusts are literally off the scale for Friday morning

Well it's arrived, and everyone knows!

Glasgow airport recording gusts of 85mph at lunchtime. 

I've got a basic hand held anemometer and the highest gust I've seen so far is 74mph, but the difference compared to other storms is that these intense gusts are more frequent, in fact far more frequent.

Impressive image of a well defined Eowyn....

Lowest barometric pressure recording I could find for Eowyn is 941mb.

52mb drop in 24 hours, incredible.
