However, this storm is expected to weaken as it moves away from the British Isles today, only bringing storm gusts to\u00a0<strong>Iceland<\/strong> later on.<\/p>\n<p>A new storm is on the way though; the currently still unnamed storm with a central pressure of 983 hPa is currently located to the southwest of the British Isles, already packing wind speeds over 115km\/h and expected to further increase. Wind speeds in\u00a0<strong>Ireland<\/strong> are expected to soon pick up, and hurricane-forced gusts are to be expected even far inland and in non-exposed locations. However, the coasts will by far experience the worst conditions, with seriously impressive wind speeds possibly exceeding 180km\/h being predicted. By the afternoon, the storm will have moved on to the\u00a0<strong>UK<\/strong>, where especially <strong>Scotland<\/strong> will receive widespread hurricane-forced winds; gusts are expected to reach up to and maybe even exceed 170km\/h here as well. The remaining, more southern parts of the\u00a0<strong>UK<\/strong> will also experience stormy conditions, however to a lesser extent than in Scotland. Through the night, the storm will move on, battering the coast of Norway.<\/p>\n<p>A storm watch has been issued as well for the coasts of northwestern Europe due to a potential storm on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Below are the ESC European Windstorm Overview, Warnings and Watches.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/milk-weather.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/2018.09.19.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2010\" src=\"https:\/\/milk-weather.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/2018.09.19.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"699\" height=\"708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milk-weather.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/2018.09.19.jpg 699w, https:\/\/milk-weather.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/2018.09.19-296x300.jpg 296w, https:\/\/milk-weather.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/2018.09.19-624x632.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 699px) 100vw, 699px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/milk-weather.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/2018.09.19.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2011\" src=\"https:\/\/milk-weather.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/2018.09.19-1024x872.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milk-weather.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/2018.09.19-1024x872.png 1024w, https:\/\/milk-weather.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/2018.09.19-300x256.png 300w, https:\/\/milk-weather.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/2018.09.19-768x654.png 768w, https:\/\/milk-weather.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/2018.09.19-624x532.png 624w, https:\/\/milk-weather.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/2018.09.19.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>This forecast is solely for informative purposes and though is done to the best of the forecaster\u2019s ability, no warranty is given for the accuracy of the information.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Storm DORCAS is currently impacting especially the northern parts of the UK, bringing storm gusts with peaks of up to 159km\/h (registered at Cairnwell, UK).
