I keep thinking about this animation. A fascinating piece of fluid dynamics - the steep temperature gradient from the unprecedented cold snap in Florida creating an instability that rolls out along the Gulf Stream and becomes Storm Éowyn.

Which is fine, but do they really need to startle everyone at rush hour with a loud klaxon for an alert that doesn’t require immediate attention? The US use an emergency alert system that is quiet if it’s not time critical: alerts such as these appear all the time without distracting you.

Some alarming gusts showing on 15z UKV inland across NW Ireland (114mph) and central belt of Scotland (99mph). I do hope the model is overdoing wind gusts, not good for these areas if these predictions do come close #StormÉowyn

The Met Office amber warning for #StormÉowyn is a high impact warning. If confidence of high impacts increase it’s possible we could see a further escalation to red.
