Met Eireann is anticipating stormy weather that will hit Ireland in the coming week, as several fronts came together from the Atlantic.
First, a low pressure jet stream is expected to arrive over the weekend, leading to heavy rain and strong winds.
Bad weather is forecast to land on Friday night or Saturday for a shocking weekend.
Met Eireann forecaster Liz Walsh said: “Over the next week, Jet Stream is expected to help deepen the low pressure areas and lead them generally between Ireland and Iceland.
“The associated frontal Atlantic systems will cross the country, causing successive episodes of wet and windy weather, potentially stormy, especially this weekend and into early next week.
On Friday, an Atlantic low-pressure system is expected to connect with the jet stream and rapidly deepen. The decline itself is expected to continue between Iceland and Ireland, but the associated active frontal system will cross the country on Friday night and Saturday morning, resulting in a period of very strong winds and heavy rain. “
And the bad weather won’t stop there, the remnants of Hurricane Epsilon are also expected to disrupt conditions in Ireland early next week.
While the front that arrives in a few days is likely not at the level of a hurricane, it is expected to be stormy.
The forecaster added: “The next Atlantic low pressure system to hit Ireland after Saturday will be early next week and that low pressure system will likely contain the remnants of Epsilon, currently a Category 1 hurricane that is expected. curving northeast to east of Bermuda this weekend.
“As mentioned in one of our meteorologists’ comments last month, (see” The 2020 Hurricane Season So Far “Meteorologist Comment) we passed the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season for quite some time.
“In that comment, it was also mentioned that: ‘The late warming of the Atlantic Ocean forces the location of extratropical transition storms north at the end of the season, so here in Ireland, we are more likely to see the debris of these storms influencing our weather for the next few weeks and months.
“And looking at the current configuration in the Atlantic right now, we can see that the situation seems to be developing.”
