Derry remains on “Yellow Alert” with more heavy rain and high winds forecast for tomorrow.
Forecasters predict a cold and frosty start tomorrow with southerly winds soon strengthening with heavy rain spreading from the west, preceded by hill snow. Turning more showery in afternoon with gales.
The Met Office has warned the additional rainfall, following the recent wet weather, means that the public should be aware of an increased risk of both surface water and river flooding as well as disruption to transport.
Meanwhile, Met Eireann is warning of another monster storm for Donegal tomorrow and Monday – the above chart showing its approach from 9.00pm.
Surging high tides and strong winds will threaten coastal communities once again.
The black areas have waves of 48-ft or higher in the map produced by magic seaweed.com, a surfer’s website which monitors wave patterns across the globe.
Met Eireann has already issued a “Yellow Alert” for Sunday, saying a new alert will be issued later for Monday which could be “Orange” or more dangerous “Red” alert.
“It will be windy again on Sunday morning with strong and blustery southeast winds veering southwest, mean speeds of 50 to 65km per hour and occasional gusts of 90 to 110km/hr especially in coastal areas,” said forecaster Pat Clarke.
“There will be a spell of heavy rain also, with further very high tides and high seas and the continuing danger of coastal flooding.
“Further severe winds are expected later on Sunday night and Monday and we issue warning updates later.”
