EPIC STORM TO PORTUGAL AND NORTH SPAIN!!! RED ALLERT JUST NOW!!! Min Pressure 967.8 hPa!!!

are you crazy???

Many rivers in the north including Rio Lima flooding allready!!! And worst is yet to come!

Europe is getting smashed and there is still more to come

[link to www.bbc.co.uk]

yes

And just what does a wave in the of Magellan have to with a storm in Portugal and Spain?

more storm surges forming...

GFS12z in 975hpa, vai the wave of the WRF MeteoGalicia.

Depression will go directly over the north coast, the strongest winds will be registered between Porto and Lisbon, with special emphasis ace saws center and coast between Aveiro and C. Carvoeiro, where the early morning gusts could reach or surpass the 130-140km.h.

Precipitation and some locally intense convective cells capable of producing locally strong winds and heavy showers are also expected.

The analysis will present atmospheric pressure shows a deviation of -0.5 to-1hPa will face pressure provided by WRF in Oporto and Lisbon, and the analysis indicates Satelite movements already strong survey / Rise NW of the center of low pressure, some convective rebentamnetos in front cold and dry slot to the WSW of the birth center, this behavior supports the aggravation that GFS12z models.

This situation is serious, I advise you to prepare for the possible occurrence of structural damage especially in constructions weaker danger of flooding especially in urban areas and in the coastal strip, power cuts, fallen trees and cutting of roads, particularly in the districts between Douro and Tagus.

As the GFS points, mean winds above 110km / h (gusts imagine ...) to 850h/Pa, and this is really a depression dug, ie, that level is about 1100/1200 meters only, just over half the height of the mountain.

That is, average wind gusts and even stronger at higher elevations be expected.

Only Tejo and Douro rivers are not flooding in this moment!

Hi Luis, by yes by no (in Zézé Camarinha's english ) we better keep an eye on it. This depression will probably enter mainland northern than expected. So north region and Spain will be severely affected. The southern regions will have sustained winds of 100/110 km/h and severe gusts at 1000/1100 meters of altitude. The probable severe rain will affect the already saturated soils and also dams that are already on full load. Join it with rough 6/7 meters waves in high tide and we defenitly have a serious doom sceanrio ramping up in Portugal. The tornados scenario isn't quite plausible. There is simple no rotation to withstand a tornado. Yet... not impossible. Dear tugas be safe. And nuestros hermanos as well.

Attention will next tide of 19-20h, the winds will be strong from SW, with large swell, possibly arises from some cm'se already see the rivers with large flows, or even rise.

Some land especially near the mouths may experience some flooding ..

At least we're lucky we're not in tides ...

Really big waves is forecasting during next 72h for Portugal coastline:

Can this add level in rivers? And what you can expect if rivers alreadyin flashflood state, as desribed here?

Since fuck all every happens in Portugal you really can't blame the natives for being super excited by a severe storm ROFLMAO!

food, water, radio and his batteries, flashlights, head lights(you can use both hands doing things and see ),
seal doors, windows,cover glasses in windows and doors with
plastic stickers(they dont crack easy with the winds and if
they crack they dont harm you easy), full charge mobile phones, litle propane camping cooking stove for basics,
and litle or normal propane heater
stay in contact with neighbors to help each other if needed

good luck

This event is similar to the ciclone of 1941: 1941 - Cyclone
On February 15, 1941 Portugal was devastated by a cyclone which left a trail of destruction across the country, and a large number of dead, wounded and missing.

The extent and severity of damage even took it to be remembered as "the day the cyclone."

According to reports at the time, the cyclone formed between Madeira and Cape St. Vincent and the wind will hit in Lisbon speed of 127 km / h. In the rest of the country the winds reached even higher, with the anemometer Serra do Pilar to record gusts of 167 km / h.

The damage was considerable: roads cut, thousands of trees uprooted, houses destelhadas, chimneys toppled, homeless families, telegraph and telephone connections interrupted, sinking ships, etc.., As can be seen in the news published in the journal The Century that here we provide.

Thank you so much! This is very usefull!

my pleasure:)

This depression is going a little more to north than forecasted... look out Galicia!!!

The wind gusts are just terrible now...

Re: Mon Forecast and Models - January 2013

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------

Depression is beginning to take shape, it is clearly the kind of behavior Depression Caving fast, whether it is explosive or not, I do not know, but it seems so far. Notice how in the last frames of the animation, in 2 or 3 hours, everything starts to take shape quickly.

And you are further north or not, I do not know, the past outputs of the GFS and others, he has always changed a little path to the north, passing the center of the depression in Galicia, and at this point does not seem far from reality .

Anyway, stronger winds are south and west of the center of the depression. From 3 am, in satellite images, according to the area of occlusion present a more or less sharp hook that separates convection air very dry, we have better sense of intensity because it is in this region that we have the most dangerous winds.

The MeteoGalicia now also raised the alert to red, these stronger winds in coastal areas should occur roughly from south of Figueira da Figueira da Foz to Galicia in all this coastal strip. Behind the center will pass around the north coast also have high winds.

In terms of structure of the cyclone, it is probably between Porto and Figueira da Foz bursts that may occur more intense, but it is always relative.
