This section is for weather warnings covering Ireland. This will include a map of Ireland with where i think the most high risk area for warnings should be.

There will be warnings for:

Wind
Snow
Thunderstorms including mesocyclones, pulse and severe storms.
Rain
Widespread Dense Fog
but not shallow.

I will try to update these warnings as often as possible when and where there needed.
I will use the Hi res NMM model for updating the risk areas with common sense and knowledge.
The max time frame a warning is given is usually out to within 48hrs max but more often are within 24hrs and generally 12hrs out. A Weather Watch will be used if an event is not certain or beyond the maximum 48hrs.

There be 4 weather warnings i use and a convective watch.

Weather Warning - Depending on the type of event can be given out to 48hrs.
Severe Weather Warning - Very disruptive event.
Flash Weather Warning - Nowcast event or within 6 hrs.
Convective Watch - Usually for within a 24hr period for TS and hail.

Only use these weather warnings as a guideline and for your own interest.
