HOCO snowfall forecast:
Valid: 07/02/2025 12:00 - 08/02/2025
Wintry showers are likely to fall across parts of England and Wales over Friday night, with a risk of snow settling across parts of CS England and Wales overnight.

There is a small risk of strong gusts associated with a small low-pressure feature across parts of England and S Wales overnight.
Gusts of 50-60 mph are possible in places, perhaps 70-80 mph locally.

Here is the HOCO forecast verification based on the maximum observed gusts from yesterday night to today 11:30.

Here are the probability plots for different wind gust thresholds from HOCO. There is a good chance that even inland parts of Ireland and Northern Ireland could see more than 85 mph gusts.

Very concerning satellite imagery shows dry air filtering into the centre of Storm Eowyn, indicating a possible area of severe gusts, perhaps a sting jet. If this continues, 110+mph is possible across western parts of Ireland.

Here is the latest HOCO forecast for Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Very strong gusts are likely to cause significant impacts to many.
See details below:

Storm Éowyn will bring damaging gusts across Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, N England, NW Wales and Scotland on Friday. Widespread 60-80 mph gusts is expected, perhaps 80-100 mph locally.

Storm Éowyn will bring some potentially damaging gusts across parts of the UK and the Republic of Ireland on Friday, gusts are expected to reach 50-70 mph widely, locally 80-100 mph. More details will be available tomorrow.
