It looks a possibility, UKV also showing a intense core in Moray Firth 03Z which doesn't look entirely due to being back over the sea

This may be a post more for model discussion rather than the reality of severe and stormy weather incoming to a good part of the UK tonight.

I think this is where the matrix doesn't quite work unless you have been keeping an eye on it. So maybe there are still medium likelihood of medium impacts but also am additional low likelihood of HIGH impacts added on. same in East Lothian, more energy out there in last half an hour. I've secured the outdoor stuff. The hens are not impressed and are lurking in a huff. Will await this evening and overnight

and that the MO warnings look at the likelihood of strong winds/heavy rain etc against impacts to come up with the chosen colour warning. MO "These impacts can include damage to property, travel delays and cancellations, loss of water supplies, power cuts and, in the most severe cases, bring a danger to life. We show this combination of impact and likelihood in a matrix" So Sunday night may not see as many impacts as say the same weather event on Monday morning, nor a core of severe gales hitting the M4 as Highland Scotland. But for individuals there is still the risk of dangerous conditions and incidents. A good mention there of the sodden ground too

Always. The Met Office will be keeping an eye on the warnings all day. Met eireann do warn using numerical limits, not so much impacts so a different way to the UK.

The same Medium impacts are part of the warnings from MO but within the Amber area, they are more likely. This is important

Naming of storms is a communication tool, to highlight a severe event. The MO warnings show the detail of areas/ likelihood and impacts. The winds last night caused power outages in local areas and it sounded lively outside. That the actual storm has yet to arrive has hopefully highlighted to people that maybe travelling home a bit early on Sunday would be a good idea or moving activities a few hours earlier might help today. To prepare outside stuff, NOT to put out the recycling tonight ready for Monday morning pickup (although I see someone in my street has done exactly that) Being a 'storm' it's not a medal of highest wind speeds, it's about potential impacts and letting people know to make preparations and, hopefully, informed decisions. Monday morning travel could be impacted, it's nice to to have a heads-up in good time. After the event, the stand-out impactful ones will have an easy label - like Desmond's rain, Arwen's winds and Babet's coastal onslaught.

The overall theme is that the precipitation from Irene won't make it across The Channel, brushing southern Cornwall/Devon in the small hours. Arome edges the precip. slightly further north before it fades away southwards again. It's close
