Watching Ex-Hurricane Helene

Watching Ex-Hurricane Helene

NOAA wants to track Helene through Ireland, and forecasts it to travel North Eastwards through the United Kingdom, it seems, with the strongest winds in Ireland, Northern England, and the border region in Scotland, western coasts of Wales, and NW. coasts of England, and the coastal border region in West Southern Scotland, bearing the brunt of the strongest winds going by NOAA in seems.

Going by the GFS we see Helene, slightly deepen as a low pressure system but not drastically so, the main centre of the low pressure system seems to travel through the Irish sea, however winds on the coasts of Eastern Ireland, and Southern Ireland will be very strong still, she tracks towards parts of Southern Scotland, Northern England bringing strong winds also. Wind gusts look around  50-70 mph for Western and Northern England, Scotland, NW Wales, and Coastal Eastern Ireland, winds in the Irish sea could be even more gusty with winds over 70 expected (gusts)

Elsewhere does look blustery with gusts over 40mph, Western coasts of Ireland could be less blustery with weaker gusts, but overall it doesn't seem like elsewhere will see damaging winds as elsewhere in the UK and Ireland.

It seems like Ex-Hurricane Helene will hit on Monday evening, probably lasting until Tuesday before the strong winds pass through the North Sea.

Warnings from the United Kingdom Met Office have been issues for Western coastal areas of England and Wales.

The Irish Met Office, Met Éireann has no weather warnings issue as of now, but I'm sure eventually Eastern Coastal areas of Ireland at least will have some wind warnings if the GFS turns out to be true.

Going by the GFS, it seems like the rain will be restricted to the Ireland and Scotland, however I do expect that England, at least the West, and Wales should get some rain here and there.

More Updates regarding Helene should be expected along the Weekend up until Monday, when I do a final update about Helene.
