<![CDATA[Hurricane Ophelia]]>Ophelia will make landfall based on current models:
Monday, October 16, 2017 at 12PM EST near Cork, Ireland. And the UK.
A watch should be sent out very soon, chances are, anyone in the UK are not safe. I'm expecting a category 1-4 most likely a 3-5. Stay updated #PrepareUK

Very high impact storm, although it was an Ex-Hurricane. It sure felt like a Hurricane!! High damage across all of Ireland which unfortunately also caused the deaths of 3 people. "The strongest eastern Atlantic hurricane on records" apparently

triggered wildfires. The CO concentration charts show that.

Worth a like if interested. Will be keeping a close eye on this storm or as we say here in Ireland "Good drying weather for the clothes". :P

it loses strength by the size of Ireland.... and by the cooler waters of North Atlantic

Link to Landfall by Windy. Category 1, or maybe "Post-Tropical" Ophelia Will make landfall with gusts going up to 105 mph, 174 km/h, 91 knots, 12 bft, 47.4 m/s.
Thanks @meteo-GR for the advisory link.
New track makes landfall between Galway and Westport, Ireland. UK not to be harmed, the storm moves northeast while it loses strength by the size of Ireland.

mainland Portugal? No.
Ophelia will pass between Azores and Madeira.
Due to southern winds Portugal will "feel" relatively high (for October) temperatures (max 33C for the weekend).

Irish meteorologists have very good knowledge and are keeping a close eye on the evolution of "Ophelia".
